I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. I Corinthians 15:50 At first hearing, Paul’s words can sound harsh. Do they mean that human bodies have no place in God’s eternal kingdom? That everything physical must be discarded forever? Or is Paul … Continue reading Redeemed, Not Discarded: Flesh, Resurrection, and and the Hope of Glory
Christianity Is Christ: Salvation Accomplished, Not Earned
Christianity is not a works-based religion defined by rules, but a faith centered on what Christ has done. The Gospel emphasizes His life, death, and resurrection. Salvation is entirely by divine grace through faith, gifted by God, leading believers to experience peace and righteousness without condemnation, affirming that salvation is solely the Lord's work.
Death Destroyed By Death
Hebrews 2 emphasizes that Christ's suffering was essential for perfecting our salvation and uniting believers as brothers in faith. It illustrates how Jesus, by sharing in our humanity, conquered death, freeing us from fear and slavery. This passage reassures weary Christians of Christ's role as a merciful High Priest and the glory achieved through His suffering.
Faith Expressed in Prayer, Confession, and Restoration
Christ is the strength. Christ is the hope. Christ is the righteousness that makes our prayers powerful. Christ is the Shepherd who restores our souls. May this message encourage you to live out a faith anchored in the finished work of Jesus Christ and expressed through humble dependence on Him.
God’s Love in Christ Never Fails
God’s true gospel of free and sovereign grace teaches us the profound, unchanging nature of divine love. Unlike the shallow, emotion-driven notion of love promoted by our culture, God’s love in Christ is steadfast, covenantal, and unfailing. It does not depend on our performance or fluctuating feelings, but flows from His eternal purpose to save His people through the finished work of Christ. In a world of shifting affections, believers rest secure in a love that never ends.
Joy and Satisfaction
Psalm 16:11 reminds us that true joy is found in the presence of God, not in changing circumstances. Though the Lord is always near, we often miss the fullness of joy He offers when we treat Him as a last resort instead of a constant companion. This article reflects on cultivating an awareness of God’s nearness, nourishing our hearts with what is true and lovely (Phil. 4:8), and learning to delight daily in the One who alone provides lasting satisfaction. Soli Deo Gloria!
Faith in the Lord’s Will
Believers are called to live with humble submission to the Lord, acknowledging His rule over every detail of our days. Be encouraged by the wisdom of the Epistle of James today!
Faith and Humility: Grace for the Lowly
God's People are marked by humility—by a heart that submits to God, resists the devil, and draws near to Him in repentance and trust. God opposes the proud (the self-righteous) but gives grace to the humble (His elect children). Join us as we explore what it means to live humbly before the Lord, resting in the abundant grace of Christ alone, even while our war with the flesh rages on!
“Humility Still Matters: Learning to be Gentle in a Loud World”
The rise of self-proclaimed authorities on Scripture through social media has led to a troubling lack of humility and gentle discourse. True Christian ministry calls for patience, meekness, and alignment with biblical teachings, recognizing that the authority comes from God's Word, not personal opinion or influence. Biblical humility is essential in communicating truth.
The God Who Reigns Forever
Psalm 146 reminds us not to trust in human strength but in the Lord who reigns forever. In Christ, every promise of justice, mercy, and hope is fulfilled.
