#160: A Day of Good News
This is the day of salvation through Jesus Christ! It is a great day of great news!
There in the Bible, God Himself gives us the good news of salvation freely offered to sinners. He tells us of the way to escape from perishing in the fires and misery of Hell. He tells us the true way, the only way, the free way, and it is Himself. All who believe on the... Continue Reading
Asking the Right Questions
A man named Saul thought he did not need to ask any questions. He had all the answers.
God loves to answer questions—the “stupider” the better—because He loves for us to have the ultimate truth we need to complete the sentence “I believe . . . ” He never loses patience with a question, and neither do people who are serving Him. If you take a question to more mature Christians, those who... Continue Reading
2 Things We Must Do Because the Bible Calls us Sheep
Scripture encourages us to resist Satan and run to being shepherded.
We are sheep and Satan wants to destroy us, so we are wise to be shepherded by godly leaders who care for our souls (Peter’s emphasis in the first five verses of 1 Peter chapter 5). We are wise to be in community. The posture of “I will love Jesus but not the church” is... Continue Reading
Great News! God is on the Throne!
To Him who rides on the heaven of heavens.
We need to remember, God is on the throne. Although individuals make decisions to sin and create times of suffering in others’ lives, we can know that God’s plan includes these things. Friends, that means it will be ok. These events fit in God’s overall plan that ends with the return of Christ, His eternal... Continue Reading
The Spirit of Fear
Spirit of Fear is a large part of how the evil powers will attempt to control everyone.
Spirit of Fear is a large part of how the evil powers will attempt to control everyone. It is already started. My brethren. Stay in prayer. Obey the Lord. I am convinced that the Church Age is nearly over, but rough times are ahead for us until our Lord takes us home. Now is the... Continue Reading
The Heart of Family Reformation
Family worship can become the heart, in fact, of family reformation.
When culture rushes down on your family and the professing church is trying to imitate the world itself, how will your family keep from being swept away in its path? Only through the Word of God! Family worship, on a daily basis, is your hope that they will stand like steel piers against the prevailing... Continue Reading
#159: The Mercy of the Lord
Who in heaven or on earth is as merciful as our God?
The Lord Jesus Christ came to the world and kept the whole law for a wayward people. He bore the wrath of God for us sinners and died on the cross. Perhaps for a righteous man one would die but Jesus died for unrighteous men. Who has ever shown such mercy like that? Not Mary,... Continue Reading
Bringing the Gospel to Bucharest
In Romania, Reformed doctrines are often seen as suspicious. Most people are simply nominal Christians.
Some people attend the Evangelical Reformed Church in Bucharest for curiosity, but stay for its message. Corcea thinks that Reformed churches have an advantage over Eastern Orthodox because both the liturgy and the Scriptures are intelligible. Besides, the congregation can sit down, while in Eastern Orthodox churches they stand the whole time. At the same time,... Continue Reading
Wounded Beauty
The cross is the place where God’s beauty is revealed most clearly.
We look forward to the day when we will stand with Jesus, the Lamb who looks as if it had been slain (Rev 5:6). Glorified with him, our wounded bodies will testify to his defeat of sin and death. May our eyes be transformed even now, so that we might see beauty as revealed by... Continue Reading
Difference or Contradiction?
Difference does not mean contradiction.
The Bible is a divine book—but it’s also a very human book, not in that it is filled with human errors but in that it reflects how human beings tell stories. No two people write in exactly the same way, and no two human beings report their perspectives on the same event identically. Two people... Continue Reading
