The atheist’s worldview of naturalism leads to a world devoid of free will, knowledge, and morality. It leads to nihilism. The Christian worldview, by contrast, can justify free will, explain knowledge, and define right and wrong. More importantly, it provides a solution to our moral crimes and frees us from our guilt. Christianity makes the... Continue Reading

The scene is perplexing. Before His disciples, Jesus wouldn’t stop for this woman, ignored her for a time, and ended up calling her a dog. Can we imagine the internet dust-up in such a case as this? We are left scratching our heads in our attempts to understand Jesus here… Jesus’ intention was that we... Continue Reading

To think of the patience of God toward His enemies should draw us to humble worship and gratitude for that grace shown toward us. The fact that rebels are not at this moment writhing in eternal hell proves the patience of Jesus Christ. O come to Him at once! This brief write-up provides a handful... Continue Reading

Acts speaks of the way that Jesus has been made both Lord and Christ (2:36) and its implications. This surely does not mean that Jesus was neither Lord nor Christ before his resurrection and ascension. For indeed, already at his birth he is both Lord and Christ (Luke 2:11). In what way, then, is Jesus... Continue Reading

The Law with all its sacrifices and rituals was “only a shadow of the good things to come…”  All in Christ have the substance of Christ and so no longer have need of the shadows. Hence, we no longer need the Law itself for we have the Living Saviour.   13 But go and learn... Continue Reading

We have never done so many bad things that God abandons us; we always get chances to come back. He delays judgement and offers grace. Jesus came to save sinners, not good people; whatever you have done, Jesus’ sacrifice is enough to pay for all your sins. All you need to do is repent and... Continue Reading

The Lord gives warnings so that we would be watchful and thereby avoid and defeat sin and evil. The language of Kings is remarkably similar to the language of Ephesians 6. We are wrestling not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual... Continue Reading

Events like the Christmas Truce are worth celebrating. But they lack something. They lack permanence. Such impermanent peace is what we often find in our quest for the real meaning of Christmas. If we are looking for permanent and ultimate goodwill, love, and peace, we must look beyond our gift-giving, get-togethers, and office parties. We... Continue Reading

It’s unfathomable to think about what Christ did on the cross, that He bought something for us, but He also bought something for God. Jesus secured both our inheritances, and now God waits in expectation to fully inherit His.   I’m not a musician, but even I know “O Holy Night” best for the impressively high... Continue Reading

God’s assessment was brutally simple: Omri was an evil king. In the end, God did not assess Omri on his might or foreign policy of building program or even his popularity; God looked for faithfulness. And on that account, Omri failed. He maintained the worship of golden bulls and worship at the high places and... Continue Reading
