I still remember that September morning back in 1979 when I first saw her walk up the junior class hallway in high school… I knew then that this beautiful girl was going to be mine and soon after she was. I took a turn for the better that day, I believe by the providence of God my life was change forever and Maria was going to be a huge part of it, and to…
The discredited doctrine of a divided Christ goes like this: “Christ is both Savior and Lord.A sinner may be saved by accepting Him as Savior without yielding to Him as Lord.” Christ’s saviorhood is forever united to His lordship. Christ must be Lord or He will not be Savior. To teach that Christ will use His sacred power to further our worldly interests is to wrong our Lord and injure our own souls. We…
“Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him… To love a holy God requires grace, grace strong…
I remember sitting there listen to the Curse Motif of the Atonement from R.C.Sproul at the together for the gospel conference in Louisville in 2008 and in that he talked about this Hymn- Joy To The World and the third stanza being his favorite part, since then I have fallen in love with Joy to the world. That’s the good news… Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Far as the curse is found, But the…
Here’s a side to the Christmas story that isn’t often told: Those soft little hands, fashioned by the Holy Spirit in Mary’s womb, were made so that nails might be driven through them. Those baby feet, pink and unable to walk, would one day walk up a dusty hill to be nailed to a cross. That sweet infant’s head with sparkling eyes and eager mouth was formed so that someday men might force a…
I will meditate on Your precepts And regard Your ways. Psalm 119:15 There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in His service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. Truth is…
I remember sitting there like it was yesterday, the idolatry was overwhelming at times. My plan from the beginning was to flee from the scene as soon as I could. But I was there for my nephews wedding and he had ask me to do a reading and I immediately said yes without realizing it was from a Roman Catholic prayer-book. Can I just back out now or could I use it for a chance to…
Who were the wise men? Are you ready for that? Matthew chapter 2. All of us have wondered. I remember when I was a little boy I wondered who those guys were. How many were there? Were they really kings? Did they really ride camels? Why did they come to Bethlehem? And, as Paul said, we have most of our ideas about this fascinating group from the people who draw Christmas cards rather than…
“A man is not saved against his will, but he is made willing by the operation of the Holy Ghost. A mighty grace which he does not wish to resist enters into the man, disarms him, makes a new creature of him, and he is saved.”~ C.H. Spurgeon and that’s a beautiful thing! Soli Deo Gloria Lenny
The events that happened in Connecticut this past week reminds me of the sinfulness of sin and effects of the fall in Genesis 3 and how there needs to be an urgency for the gospel of Jesus Christ as the only cure for it. Below are some links to help us put it into perspective. “If trifles are vital parts of divine providence, what of evil? Evil is often vastly significant. The most important…
