The Long Hatred of God
By M.F. Bergeron | Learn-Christ.org Scripture is clear that love for God is expressed through trust and obedience. To reject His word is to reject Him. As John later wrote, “Loving God means keeping His commandments” (1 John 5:3). In that sense, Adam’s sin was a form of hatred—choosing self…

Christ, My All in All
The language of Scripture is personal. While God’s promises are vast enough to encompass all who believe, they are also tender enough to reach each soul individually. Notice the “My’s,” the “I’s,” and the “Me’s” that weave through the Word, especially as David’s wilderness psalms pour out his heart before…

A Soul Pursuing God
Psalm 63 is a precious portrait of a heart in earnest pursuit of God. Written by David when he was in the wilderness of Judah, far from the comforts of home and sanctuary, it shows not a man distressed merely by outward need, but a soul deeply yearning for communion…

Not of This World
When Jesus stood before Pilate, facing the false accusations and the weight of Roman judgment, He made a declaration that echoes through all of history: “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36, BSB). In that moment, our Lord unveiled a central truth about His reign—a truth that calls…

Meditation: 2 Cor. 5:17
When the Apostle Paul declares, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17, BSB), he does more than speak a doctrinal truth—he sounds a trumpet call to a transformed life. This is the announcement…

Meditation: 1 John 1:7
One of the grand themes of Scripture is the contrast between light and darkness. Light speaks of truth, purity, joy, and fellowship with God, while darkness represents ignorance, sin, and separation from Him. For the believer, life is to be lived entirely “in the light”—not merely touched by it, but…

Meditation: Micah 2:13
Micah 2:12–13 offers a vision of leadership that is both intimate and triumphant. The prophet speaks not only of rescue, but of divine companionship and purposeful movement: “The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King…

Draw Closer
From the opening garden of Genesis to the radiant vision of Revelation, Scripture reveals a God who walks—not aloof, not in abstraction, but near. He is not a distant deity, watching from heaven’s remote balconies. No, He is the God who walks among His people—intimately, attentively, and redemptively. Every step…

Total Ruin
The Scriptures speak plainly—unflinchingly—about the soul apart from Christ. The Bible does not flatter fallen man. It does not describe him as well-meaning but misled, or merely misguided and morally neutral. No, the witness of Scripture is far more serious: mankind, without Christ, is perishing in a darkness that is…
