    There, to my heart, was the blood applied…

    The words of this beloved hymn echo the heart of every believer who has encountered the saving power of Jesus Christ. It is a testimony of transformation, a declaration of the mercy that flows from Calvary, and a reminder that salvation is deeply personal. “Glory to His name!” The blood…

  • Despair

    Despair

    There are seasons in life when the soul feels like it’s drifting in fog—when direction is unclear, strength feels spent, and the heart asks quietly, “Is there any hope for me?” If that’s where you find yourself right now, then you’re not alone. The good news is, you’re not beyond…

  • The Fallacy of Baptismal Regeneration

    The Fallacy of Baptismal Regeneration

    How do you view baptism? Do you see it as the seal of an already accomplished work of grace, or do you mistakenly place your hope in the act itself? Those who trust in Christ are saved, and because they are saved, they joyfully follow Him in baptism. To reverse…

  • Deserting God

    The Christian’s heart must be a throne upon which Christ alone reigns. If anything else—whether self-interest, worldly approval, or even a slightly modified gospel—begins to compete for our devotion, we are in danger of being led astray.

  • Being Principled – Part 3

    Being Principled – Part 3

    The 3rd principle I’d like to share with you is this: “All sin is ultimately a defect in love.” This defect is either toward God, or my neighbor. And one always includes the other. For I cannot sin against God without it being bad for my neighbor, and I cannot…

  • Being Principled – Part 2

    Being Principled – Part 2

    Some reason that because we are forensically justified and forgiven, that for the Christian to ask forgiveness is contradictory or unnecessary. I think Jesus’ instructions in the Lord’s Prayer militates against that conclusion. Is there a contradiction here? I don’t think so.

  • True Confession

    True Confession

    I spent a night in jail in my youth for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. My freedom was limited to the bars of the cell. I had no means to get out; I was at the mercy and bondage of the law. Even upon my release; it was not the end…
