• 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…

  • Mediation: Psalm 107

    Psalm 107 unfolds before us a moving tapestry of God’s heart and hand—His lovingkindness and His wonderful works. Repeated like a holy refrain throughout the psalm is this call to worship: “Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindness and His wonderful works to the children…

  • Finding Refuge in the Cleft of the Rock

    When Moses stood before the Lord and pleaded, “Now show me your glory,” he asked for something most daring (Exodus 33:18, NIV). Yet God, in His mercy, answered Moses’ request with tenderness. He said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock” (v. 21), and…

  • Welcoming the Spirit’s Renewing Work

    The history of the Church is clear: every true revival has been a revival of the Holy Spirit’s work. Without exception, when God’s people have turned from self-reliance and returned to a living, humble dependence on the Spirit of Christ, the Church has awakened—and the world has noticed. “Times of…

  • Immanuel

    In our previous post on the Holy Spirit we have seen how vital the Holy Spirit is in the evangelistic work of the Church. Without Him, there is no true preaching, no real conviction, and no new birth. But the Spirit’s role does not end at conversion; He is equally…

  • Rekindling Fellowship with the Holy Spirit

    It is one of the quiet tragedies of modern church life that many believers live as if the Holy Spirit were an optional member of the Trinity. We confess the doctrine of the triune God in our creeds, yet we often live and minister in ways that are functionally Unitarian—focused…

  • Steps in the Christian Life

    The Christian life is not a stagnant pond, but a flowing river, a living journey that begins with new birth and moves onward toward deeper fellowship with Christ. Scripture maps out for us certain key steps along the way—markers of genuine faith and growth. Let us consider these beautiful stages…

  • Strong (Part 2)

    Throughout Scripture, strength is not measured by human might or worldly power, but by God’s faithful working in those who trust Him. True strength comes from hearing God’s Word, resting in His promises, and depending entirely upon His grace. Let us reflect on some of the “strong things” that mark…

  • Strong (Part 1)

    The Lord reveals Himself to His people as the Strong One—mighty to save, mighty to defend, mighty to uphold. Throughout the Psalms, God’s strength is not an abstract attribute but a living reality for those who trust in Him. Let us ponder what the Lord is to His people as…
