  • The Eucharist According to Matthew

    The Eucharist According to Matthew

    It is the eve of Christ’s betrayal into the hands of Israel’s chief priests and elders. From the beginning of His public preaching ministry, Jesus has been teaching that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus declares that the kingdom is here. Since Matthew is the most Jewish…

  • Is Anything too Difficult for God?

    Is Anything too Difficult for God?

    In Scripture, God is one who does miracles. I want to take a moment and talk about those miracles. There are many people who get very mystic when they talk about miracles, but I do not believe that the Bible in any way promotes a mystical belief system. Further, there are people who wish to…

  • On Losing Faith

    On Losing Faith

    God has just destroyed Sodom, whether by miracle or providence. Lot, Abraham’s nephew, has escaped to Zoar. Abraham has witnessed Sodom’s destruction after talking with Jesus about sparing the city. With the absence of anyone righteous, Jesus justly destroys the city. Abraham’s heart and mind were filled with compassion. Jesus did something that seemed mean…

  • Daily Devotional- Ephesians 6:1-9

    Daily Devotional- Ephesians 6:1-9

    If the husband and wife are the picture of Christ and His church, where does that leave children? Paul answers. Children are to obey their parents in the Lord. He quotes form Exodus 20 and adds a general promise—that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth. There…

  • Daily Devotional- Ephesians 5:22-33

    Daily Devotional- Ephesians 5:22-33

    Paul instructs saintly wives. Wives are to be subject to their own husbands as to the Lord. He explains what he means and why. According to the created order, the husband is the head of the wife like Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the savior of the church body, so the…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

    Moses strikes the rock and Horeb, and water springs forth. This could be miraculous, or as has been normative for God with Israel, He could have revealed the location of a hidden spring that was covered by a rock. There is a split rock in Horeb today, and many people want to claim that it…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:22-36

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:22-36

    God kept the manna from appearing on the sabbath day. Even though they had enough, some Israelites go out to gather more on the sabbath day despite God’s instruction for them to rest. Before the Law is even given, the people refuse to keep God’s instructions. God has given the people the sabbath and provided…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:1-21

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 16:1-21

    Manna, a light film of secreted honeydew left when insects consumed the sap from the Rimth Shrub in the Desert of Sinai—still collected and used as an ingredient in the modern day. The Israelites did not know about the naturally occurring food. Like we see in God’s command about purifying bitter water (Genesis 15:22-27), here…

  • Men and Women: The Primary Distinction

    Men and Women: The Primary Distinction

    In Chapter 1, we established the equality between men and women. Without considering the doctrine of the Imago Dei (Image of God), equality is impossible in the world. While Genesis 1 presented no differences in the roles or places of men and women, Genesis 2 does. In Genesis 1, we read an overview of the…

  • Sodomy and Injustice

    Sodomy and Injustice

    Abraham has spoken with the preincarnate Christ about justice and righteousness. God has chosen Abraham for the purpose of righteousness and justice upon the earth. Thus, all of Abraham’s descendants, particularly those in Christ, have a responsibility to see righteousness and justice fulfilled on the earth. Now, we see the destruction of Sodom. Christ has…
