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…

What Does God See in Us?

Introduction This week, my wife and I are celebrating 31 wonderful years of marriage. As our anniversary approaches, I find myself reflecting on the many blessings we’ve shared over the years. There have been more than a few moments when I’ve looked at my wife and thought, “What does she see in me?” In moments of doubt or struggle, I’ve sometimes wondered how I could possibly measure up to the…

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…

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.…

Righteousness and Sin in the Life of the Christian

All Christians are simultaneously justified before God and continue to struggle with sin. Both are true. We who have trusted in Christ as Savior have received judicial forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43; Eph 1:7), eternal life (John 10:28), and the gift of God’s righteousness (Rom 5:17). Because God’s righteousness has been imputed to us, He declares us righteous in His sight. God’s righteousness is…

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…

A Spiritual Wedding (Psalm 45:1-2, 6-9)

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.

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…
