I don’t want people to try to find shelter in a false God of their own making: a God who is gentle and lowly and nothing else. God is everything He says He is. And He has given His only Son to save sinners from His righteous wrath.   It has been rightly highlighted in... Continue Reading

When the Devil tells you that you can avoid the ultimate choice between obedience to God and obedience to the world by privatizing your faith and becoming schizophrenic—that is, by following one law in church and a different law in parliament—this is a trick. You cannot have it both ways. Either Jesus is Lord of... Continue Reading

Lady Wisdom is lonely, while Lady Folly feeds on us all. But at the same time, this passage has a seed of hope. It is filled with longing to find and know true wisdom, undefiled by sin. In a way, this passage longs for Christ, in whom “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and... Continue Reading

Teachers are forever finding new ways to categorise, summarise, and compartmentalise the many truths that make up the Christian life. But teachers run a great risk. When they are in the mode of rational analysis, they are not experiencing the things they teach.   Humans seem to be able to experience pleasure, or analyse our... Continue Reading

He was about to tell God’s people that being one of His people wasn’t all that special. There were those... Continue Reading

But that same God who is exalted above all things also condescended to us in Jesus Christ to make himself known, to live a perfectly holy life, to die... Continue Reading

There’s more to Christ’s authority in the Church than meets the eye. Although church leaders constitute a visible government, they are only a fraction of the authority that Christ has vested in His Body through His Anointing in the Holy Spirit.

If God hears our prayers the first time, why should we keep coming back to the throne of grace with the same petition?   Jesus calls us to be persistently repetitive in our prayers. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus commands that... Continue Reading
