  • Fighting Sin the Wrong Way

    There is a common but dangerous error in the Christian life: we run to Christ for forgiveness, and then turn to the law or self-effort for strength to fight sin. This was the very issue Paul addressed with sharp concern to the Galatians: “Are you so foolish? After starting in…

  • You Will Not Fear the Terror of the Night

    We live in a world soaked with sorrow and marred by death, and no hour is immune to trouble. But the promise of Psalm 91 is not that danger will never exist—but that the believer shall not be afraid. This is not a shallow encouragement; it is a strong declaration…

  • Christ Enthroned

    The crucified Christ now reigns in glory. He who once bore our shame now wears majesty. Acts 5:31 declares with triumph that “God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior.” The One who stooped to serve is now exalted to rule. The One who died to save…

  • False Expectations

    False Expectations

    It’s a hard truth, but one we need to hear: God never promised His people ease, comfort, or a rose garden in this life. That notion doesn’t come from Scripture—it comes from our longing for relief. And while the longing itself is not sinful—who doesn’t long for peace and rest?—we…

  • Who Is Even at the Right Hand of God

    Jesus Christ, the Risen One, is not seated there merely as King—but as our Representative. He did not ascend alone. By virtue of our union with Him, when He was raised, we were raised. When He was seated in honor, we were seated in Him. “Who is there to condemn…

  • My Redeemer Lives!

    Job’s confession is simple but thunderous: “I know that my Redeemer lives. (Job 19:25)” At the heart of this comfort is one small word: “my.” Job did not merely say, “There is a Redeemer,” or even, “The Redeemer lives.” He said, “My Redeemer lives.” This is not merely theological knowledge—it’s…

  • The Call to Arms

    The Church of God is not a passive gathering but an active army. The people of God, described as the “sacramental host of God’s elect,” are still engaged in warfare—not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Jesus Christ, the Captain of our salvation,…

  • The Death of Death

    Death, once the most feared of all enemies, has been utterly transformed by the death of Jesus Christ. For the child of God, death is no longer the dreadful unknown, the dark end of all things. It has lost its sting, because Christ has struck at the very heart of…

  • Jesus, the Amen

    When Jesus identifies Himself to the church in Laodicea as “the Amen,” He isn’t simply ending a sentence. He is declaring something glorious about His very nature. The word Amen is often our final affirmation in prayer—“So be it,” or “It is true.” But here, Jesus takes that affirmation and…
