  • Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

    Daily Devotional: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

    Paul, and those with him when he visited Thessalonica, shared the gospel free of monetary charge in the midst of great oppression while they were there. The Thessalonian church is now made up of people who believed despite oppression from both Jews and gentiles in their city. Paul is greatly encouraged and praises the church. …

  • Daily Devotional: Romans 9:22-33

    Daily Devotional: Romans 9:22-33

    Paul has established that God predestined an elect group of people before they were born from among the Jews and gentiles. As the creator, He has a right to choose and justify a people for Himself. As the created, we have no rights over our own bodies or souls. Salvation (justification) is, therefore, by grace…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 9:1-13

    Romans 9 is too often neglected because it bothers the sensibilities of many who want a sort of synergism. Defending monergism is only one of Paul’s goals. He is writing to gentiles. These gentiles are immature in the faith or have no faith at the present time. They are unincorporated. Paul is explaining the basic…

  • DAily Devotional: Romans 8:26-39

    DAily Devotional: Romans 8:26-39

    The Spirit causes His people to love the Law. The Spirit causes His people to long for the renewal of the world. The Spirit also helps us in our weakness. Paul here states that we do not know how to pray as we should. That sounds different than most teaching, doesn’t it? In most religious…

  • Daily Devotional: Genesis 28:10-22

    Daily Devotional: Genesis 28:10-22

    Jacob has a dream of angels ascending and descending on a ladder to heaven. God speaks to him in the dream in order to reaffirm the promise He made to Jacob’s father and grandfather. Jacob is the seed of promise according to God’s will. Jacob was self-consumed, even taking the birthright that belonged to his…

  • Ghosts and Mediums in the Bible

    Ghosts and Mediums in the Bible

    I have had several ghostly experiences in my life. When I was little, we lived in a house my dad built. One night I heard someone playing the piano beautifully in our sitting room; My mom called it her “frufru” room. The sound was loud enough to wake me from sleep. I tiptoed to the…

    11:03

    By now, you’ve probably already decided who you are going to vote for in this year’s election. You probably already knew four years ago. Such is the nature of American politics—such is the nature of the New Americana, the narcissism. Our desire to self-identify, to raise up some as more important than others, and to…

  • I Can’t Do All Things Through Him Who Gives Me Strength

    I Can’t Do All Things Through Him Who Gives Me Strength

    Over the last couple weeks, we have been working up to the battle between David and Goliath. We still won’t get there. Anticipation will build for one more week. Most of us are familiar enough with this story to know that David prevails over Goliath. At this point in the story, no one knows whether…

  • God Doesn’t Answer All Prayer?

    God Doesn’t Answer All Prayer?

    This will be part two of this sermon. If you didn’t catch part one, please go back and review it because the previous sermon provides some necessary context for the current discussion we are led to by this part of the story. To summarize: God has chosen Saul for service as king. The Holy Spirit…

    Didache- Reformed Doctrine 1,400 Years Before Luther or Calvin

    Didache 3-4 In chapter 2, the author(s), either the apostles or the apostolic fathers, gives a practical list of first things. These first things were actions or restrictions that summarize the Law. We saw that they were a proper representation of the Law as we compared them to the Biblical account. They are meant to…
