  • Test Yourselves

    Paul’s charge in 2 Corinthians 13:5 is both sobering and necessary: “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” (NASB). It is a call to self-examination, a…

  • Knowing God

    J.I. Packer’s Knowing God is a book every Christian should read. It is one of those rare works that not only informs the mind but stirs the heart toward deeper devotion. One of its most important insights is the doctrine of adoption—a truth often overshadowed in discussions about salvation. Packer…

  • Jesus, The Rescuer

    The mindset of a rescuer is vastly different from that of a combatant. The combatant fights against, but the rescuer fights for. The combatant sees an enemy to defeat; the rescuer sees a soul in peril. Jesus is the sinner’s rescuer. Galatians 1:3-5 ESVGrace to you and peace from God…

    To know Jesus truly is to be safeguarded against deception. In an age where counterfeits abound, where many preach a Jesus but not the Jesus of Scripture, we must be so intimately acquainted with Him that any false Christ is immediately exposed. If we are to stand firm in the…

  • 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…

  • There’s No Safety in Living Apart from God

    “THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.”  (Romans 3:18, NASB). “And there it is”, I said out loud, as I was driving; listening to D A Carson’s series; The God Who Is There. There it is, what? The explanation as to why the blatant display of approval for…

  • The Unseen Makes It Worthwhile

    Ministry in the gospel is not for the selfish, the stingy, or the faint of heart. Preaching Christ is no task for those seeking ease, nor for those with thin skin. It is not a calling for those who take themselves too seriously, but for those who take the Lord…
