What comfort can a man have who has brought himself, in this manner

A Christian! and of a troublesome spirit; for-shame, forbear; show, out of a good conversation, thy works, with meekness of wisdom; and here let me present thee with three or four things. Consider 7. And what comfort can such a man have who has, by his discontent and unruly carriages, brought himself, in this manner, to his end; he has brought himself to shame, his profession to shame, his…

Saints, Sinners, and Sacrifice (Mark 8:31-38)

People cannot be separated easily into the categories of saints or sinners. We are much more like saintly sinners or sinning saints. 

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes and be killed and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on…

Jesus' Substitutionary Atonement in Salvation

Atonement is a very important concept in the Bible. In the OT, the word atonement translates the Hebrew verb kaphar (כָּפַר) which means to “cover over, pacify, propitiate, [or] atone for sin.”[1] Theologically, it means “to bring together in mutual agreement, with the added idea, in theology, of reconciliation through the vicarious suffering of one on behalf of another.”[2] The animal…

What Would You Give?

Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬ If you loved someone and they were in trouble, what would you do to save them? We see stories everyday of heroes. Men and women who give their lives to save others. We even idolize them and for good reason. We say they have given their lives in ultimate sacrifice. These men and women go to…

No Greater Love

John 15:13 No greater love hath any man than he lay down his life for a friend. No Greater Love                No greater love hath any God than He would lay down His life for His creation.   “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  God’s great love is expressed in us in that we would lay…

Healed and Forgiven in Jesus!

Healed and Forgiven in Jesus!

Our ‘put away’ scripture today comes from Hebrews 9:24-26. The author of Hebrews is writing to Jews explaining how Christ’s coming and His sacrifice was different from the continual sacrifices the priests made at the temple and the sacrifice made once a year for the sins of the people taken into the holy of holies. Christ’s was better and only had to happen once for all time as He was/is the…

The Atonement: A Bible Story for Children

The Atonement: A Bible Story for Children

We asked the children to tell us about the Atonement of Jesus Christ in their own words. Before he died on the cross, Jesus prayed to God in the Garden of Gethsemane on our behalf. Jesus’ suffering for our sins in Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary is called the Atonement. He suffered for us so we can be clean and return to our Heavenly Father. By following him, we can honor his victim. What…

Men that seek revenge put themselves upon the brink of ruin

A Christian! and of a troublesome spirit; for-shame, forbear; show, out of a good conversation, thy works, with meekness of wisdom; and here let me present thee with three or four things. Consider 6. Men that are unquiet and discontented, and that seek revenge upon them that persecute them for their profession, do, by so doing, also put themselves upon the brink of those ruins that others are…

Valuing The Human

An innocent little six year old was mercilessly gunned down by someone in a fit of road rage recently. I wondered how was this possible? The Lord led me to the story of Cain and Abel in the book of Genesis. Cain and Abel were two brothers, the children of Eve, “the mother of all the living.” When her first son was born, Eve called him “Cain,” a name related to a word for “lament” or “wail.”…

The Lamb of God (John 1:29-34)

Faith is never a static sort of thing. Rather, faith is always moving in a direction; it’s dynamic.

Stained glass of the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God), Chamonix, France The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to…

Assurance of Salvation

At the moment of faith in Christ, we have eternal life. This is a fact, even if we don’t fully understand it. In truth, most people will not understand what they have from God or find assurance of their salvation until they’ve studied God’s Word and learned to live by faith. Doctrinal ignorance and/or false teaching will lead to fear and doubt. For those who have trusted Christ as their Savior,…

Empty Capsule

Every Saturday morning, I have the exciting task of filling my pill organizer for the week. This last time, I grabbed the capsules from one bottle only to find an empty capsule. The contents were missing. I stared at this finding and considered how it was no longer useful. The medicine that was to be contained in the capsule was missing. The capsule was empty, so it was worthless.

Sadly, too…

The Problem with Living Sacrifice

The Problem with Living Sacrifice

In Old Testament times people understood full well what a sacrifice was. Devout Hebrews would go out to their barns, look over their flock, and take the very best, kill it and offer it to God. This was no small deal. That meant taking the very thing that would make you the most money and simply destroy it. No monetary compensation. No physical profit. Yet they realized that the value far…
