    The Heart of True Praise: The Psalmist as Our Example in Psalm 119

    I believe Scripture is divinely inspired. Every human author, guided by the Holy Spirit, penned the only word that is profitable for “teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). In the inspiration of Scripture, God felt…

  • Ordination- Exodus 29:1-9

    Ordination- Exodus 29:1-9

    Aaron and his sons are ordained for their priestly ministry. The phrase translated as ordain, here (ומלאת יד–אהרן ייד–בניו), literally means to fill the hand of Aaron and his sons. The earliest mention of a type of ordination by the people of anyone to any kind of ministry in Scripture literally means that through ordination,…

  • Gethsemane

    Gethsemane

    After having the Passover meal and clarifying the true meaning of the cup, Jesus goes with His disciples to Gethsemane. Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • The Ten Virgins

    The Ten Virgins

    Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 25 is a continuation of Matthew 24. Jesus’s disciples have asked Him when the Temple will be destroyed and what the signs will be of His judgment against Jerusalem. Jesus has been answering their question, and we are now able to look at the historical record and see that Jesus was…

  • Christ Alone, Not Only Christ

    Christ Alone, Not Only Christ

    Salvation is in Christ alone. There is no arguing that fact, and why would you want to. Each one who is in Christ is saved by grace alone through faith alone. Our natures are set against God from birth. We are in darkness. We must each be born again to even see the kingdom of…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:25-32

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 4:25-32

    Therefore, since we put on a new self in Christ and reject our natural entitled and self-absorbed ways, we lay aside falsehood and speak the truth to one another. The practice of falsehood is a selfish practice. We lie because we don’t want to be found out. We pretend to be righteous because we want…

  • Daily Devotional: Ephesians 3:1-13

    Daily Devotional: Ephesians 3:1-13

    Paul calls the inclusion of the gentiles into God’s kingdom people by the proclamation of the gospel a mystery that was not revealed until Christ. Even though Paul is a great sinner, he gets to proclaim the unfathomable riches of Christ, administering the mystery that was hidden for so long—the gospel for the gentiles. We…
