The Rich Man
He cradled the back of his head in his hands, propped up his feet and said “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing.” His investments had multiplied, assets increased, and businesses all profitably ran themselves. But what should he do with all this wealth? His children were well taken care of… there were grandchildren ...
The Wrath of God Impersonalized
A great disservice we have done for the hearts of men is to impersonalize the attributes of God. God is no longer angry at people, just angry at sin. His fury is aimed at Satan for deceiving you and placing “strongholds” on your life, more than His fury is headed for you. It is ...
The Love and Just Anger Of God
Introduction “The love of God in our culture has been purged of anything the culture finds uncomfortable. The love of God has been sanitized, democratized, and above all sentimentalized…” – D.A Carson in “The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God.” In our culture the love of God is often exalted above the Holiness, ...
Part 6: His Call For You
His Call For You To Understand His Truth 1Corinthians 2:14 “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” We discussed above that it is salvation that Jesus talked about as being ...
Part 5: His Call Is For All, But Not All Will Come
John 7:37 “On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, ...
Part 2: Our Culture’s Critical Problem With The True God
Part 2 of “An Appeal To The Modern Mind.” God is indeed “separated from sinners,” and not just by distance but by nature. What I mean is this: everything that God is the natural man hates, and all that comes out of the heart of man, God by nature must despise. The Word of God ...
An Appeal to the Modern Mind: Confronting Objections And Delusions About The Christian God
Part 1: Combating Universalism and Relativistic Thinking There are two belief systems on the up rise today that often go hand in hand, called Universalism and Relativism. A Universalist typically believes that each person can find their own way to God that is right for them. They would say that most religions are based on ...
Lovers of Self: Become Lovers of God!
True Christianity is under attack. It is under attack in so-called churches and by so-called ministers of light; it is under attack by New York Times bestsellers, by the mainstream media, and the by popular philosophies that drive today’s thinking. The world hates the true Jesus Christ. There is for many of them a God ...
My Tiresome Sin
Does sin tire you out? I mean really? Do you know what it feels like to groan along with creation “as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies” (Romans 8:23)? You go out in the world and everywhere is sin. It’s in your ears, it’s in your view; you ...
"Through Many A Sleepless Night"
I have never slept well. Even as a kid I don’t think I can remember having an easy time getting to sleep or staying asleep. Sometimes this can be a very discouraging problem. There are so many things a person wants to accomplish, and it can be very difficult to do with little (or sometimes ...
