God’s Lovingkindness According to His Law: Reflecting on Psalm 119
The psalmist reflects on the Law of God. The Law is good. It provides the path to happiness and satisfaction in life. It even facilitates a just and equal society. The Law has many benefits, but I have to wonder about salvation. No one perfectly keeps the Law. All people sin and fall short of…

The Worthless Person
Above all else, I think I fear worthlessness. I want my life to mean something in the grand scheme. I believe that worry is a sin and that we don’t accomplish anything by worrying, but if I am to be honest, I do sometimes worry that I might waste so much of my life away…

If God’s Love is Unconditional, why are there so many conditional statements in the Old Testament?
In chapter 3 of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus revealed that before beginning His preaching ministry, it was fitting to fulfill all righteousness. This was done in His baptism by John and it would be done in the Temptations. Tonight, we arrive at the first temptation. We will spend the whole night on this one temptation and…

God’s Relentless Love
Over the last two-and-a-half weeks, I have been so overwhelmed by God’s amazing grace and love. In my study of Scripture, as God continuously reveals more about Himself, I had one of those watershed moments. It is almost like God reveals little things about Himself and then all at once several pieces connect and we…

Election Means Change
When I think upon the doctrine of election and God’s amazing grace, I think about all of those times in which God has had an attitude of long-suffering toward me (and I think He still does). He called me to conversion a few times before I willingly gave Him my life. Long-suffering. My plan was…

What is the Christian Faith? Part 2
Last year, 2015, a man named David Fitzgerald recounted his experience in an interview. As a ‘christian’ and a Southern Baptist, he remembered going around judging whether or not people were saved. He revealed that he felt responsible to gauge whether or not people would spend their eternity in either heaven or hell. He became…

The love I have for my wife: I would give all this up only to be with her
People see a whole lot of me. From the books that I’ve had published to the times when I get to speak publically to even my constant writing. What I fear people don’t often realize is that I have a team of people behind me making everything I do publically possible. I will name some…

Why would God love us?
I recently took a quiz on playbuzz to figure out which high school stereotype I fit into and it labeled me as a Jock. Here is the description in assigned to me: You’re every girl’s crush and every boy wants to crush your head. Obviously, you’re famous, handsome and what else? You’re the male version…

Does God Really Love Sinners?
Islam demands submission before the possibility of salvation is given. Hinduism demands piety before fruitful reincarnation. Buddhism demands balance before peace can be achieved. In this life, I find that I am utterly incapable of perfection. Because I cannot achieve perfection, I am unable to submit wholly to God on my own. I am incapable…
