When Christians Sin Habitually

Most Christians I know would admit to committing at least one sin per day (such as speeding, unwarranted fear, laziness, worry, lying, gossip, cursing, lust, and so on). If a Christian lived for 50 years and sinned once a day, that would amount to 18,250 sins (not counting leap years). That’s a lot. But let’s say a Christian is very spiritual and sins only once a week over that same period, it…

The Wednesday Word: The Perfect Christ and His Perfect Gospel Part 1

The Wednesday Word: The Perfect Christ and His Perfect Gospel Part 1

2 Samuel 22:31: “As for God, His way is perfect” Christ is perfect (Hebrews 5:9). As a result of this perfection, His work is also perfect (Hebrews 10:14). When, from the cross, He uttered that famous word, “Finished” (John 19:30), He declared that His redemptive work for us was perfect. What a joy to know that Christ’s redemptive work is finished and complete. As we have often noted, there is…

Do As You Have Spoken

16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? 17 And this was a small thing in your eyes, O God. You have also spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have shown me future generations, O Lord God! 18 And what more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your…

Trusting the Lord in Times of Suffering: An Expository Study of Alma 14

In our journey of faith, suffering can often feel insurmountable. It's in these moments that we must remember Christ's example and His ultimate sacrifice.

Alma the Younger and Amulek are led away from the fire that has consumed the believers in Ammonihah. Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience, especially for believers striving to walk the path of righteousness. In Alma 14, we find a profound example of enduring faith amidst unimaginable trials. Alma and Amulek faced severe persecution and witnessed the martyrdom of the faithful,…

THERE’S NO HOPE, EXCEPT FOR THE HOPE 

THERE’S NO HOPE, EXCEPT FOR THE HOPE:  I don’t know about you, but I’ve taken a few moments to look around recently and it appears to me that the world is both literally and figuratively on fire. Places like tropical and beautiful Hawaii burning to the ground. We’ve seen nature disasters like we have not seen in generations, and some are calling for the complete change of how we live our lives.…

The Old Nature...

What I’m about to tell you will literally change your life, that is if you have been struggling with trying to do “works” in order to earn God’s blessings in your life. All throughout the history of mankind a multitude of people have been caught in this trap. These are good people who care about the things of God and doing what is right in His sight. I’ll explain it as follows. Everyone who is…

Justified in God's Sight

At the moment of faith in Christ, God’s righteousness is gifted to the believer (Rom 5:17; cf. 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 3:9), and he is at once made right with God and declared just in His sight. Divine justification is not by human works at all, “for there is none righteous, not even one” (Rom 3:10), “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). Rather, Paul reveals we are…

Witnesses to God's New Plan

With respect to verse 21 below: the righteousness of God WITHOUT THE LAW is manifested now and we are told, it was witnessed by the law and the prophets during Paul’s time. Did Peter and the 11, who were under the law, not witness Paul’s unique ministry personally? Were there not Grace believers during the early days of Paul’s ministry who prophesied too? Signs, including the ability to prophesy…

First Principles Part Nine: Fear of the LORD

“FEAR NOT” IS THE most repeated command in the Bible, appearing at least 365 times. The topic of fear is addressed over 500 times. Yet, it is important to note that God never wants us to be afraid of His manifest presence. Angels who appear throughout Scripture always call out, “Fear not.” Moses said to the Israelites, “Do not be afraid; for God has come only to test you and to put the fear of…

Till the Perfect Comes

1 So the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s house with you shall bear iniquity connected with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear iniquity connected with your priesthood. 2 And with you bring your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and minister to you while you and your sons with you are before the tent of…

Listen Carefully (Mark 4:21-25)

The proverbial wisdom is that we typically get what we deserve by receiving exactly from others what we give to them in this life.

Jesus went on: “Does anyone bring a lamp home and put it under a bucket or beneath the bed? Don’t you put it up on a table or on the mantel? We’re not keeping secrets, we’re telling them; we’re not hiding things, we’re bringing them out into the open. “Are you listening to this? Really listening? “Listen carefully to what I am saying—and be wary of the shrewd advice that tells you how to get…
