God Is Glorified In Justice
The Bible teaches that God will be glorified in His saints the day of His return, but Psalm 76:10 also says that “Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.” Proverbs 16:4 states that “The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even ...
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 ...
Is God’s Anger Warranted?

Your Standard: The World or Jesus?

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 ...
Dear Slave Of Sin Come Enter In
How has the domain of darkness So disguised its self as light? There you sit as in the shadows And the chains of death but yet The world says “this is life, And yes what life is all about: To sit in darkness as if light, To raise your bound hands high And shout ...
Forsake All That Offends Christ: A Biblical Plea To Forsake Sinful Entertainment
Part 1: My Cause and My Defence Matthew 7:16 “You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good ...
My World (But Not My Home)
This is my world, but it is not my home. As if constantly walking against the rushing tide, or a fearsome rage of wind, onward I press one step at a time. Dare I not look back at all the crowds of people, who bustle about laughing, easily carried by the wind as if it ...
