According to the common faith -Titus 1:4 Beloved, while using all diligence to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and exhort you to earnestly contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. -Jude 3 I've written many things in this blog over the...

"That we may not be taken advantage of by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes." 2 Corinthians 2:11 Why would I write a post about Satan? That seems a little creepy. Yet, perhaps the subtle serpent's greatest feat is veiling all of the Lord's believers from seeing who he is, what he... Continue Reading →
Do you think that it is possible to experience victory over sin today? For the longest time I thought that sin was a nagging problem that takes a life-time of self-willed discipline and determination to reduce. This, frankly, was the result of a shallow understanding of Christ's accomplishment on the cross and my relation to... Continue Reading →
In my last post, I wrote about the doctrine of deification and it's pervading presence in the Bible and church history. Now I'd like to mark some particular aspects of God and who He is in His nature that He so graciously allows us to share in. Life "Jesus said to him, 'I am the... Continue Reading →

Luke 24:27 The Old Testament has been the cause of much struggle, doubt, and disbelief among many Christians or potential believers today. It seems to have little relevance to us today, minus the...

Most Christians have a concept about why Jesus died on the cross and what exactly he did for us. This concept is usually quite self-centered and and according to our natural, sinful concept. Everyone wants to live forever. We all fear death. So when we read John 3:16, the very first thing that comes to... Continue Reading →
"For the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him." Romans 10:12b Many Christians are familiar with some idea of calling on the name of the Lord. It is often associated with initial salvation and part of the process of how to be saved. While this is very true,... Continue Reading →
For most Christians, the cross is the very center of their faith. There are several crosses on the walls in their house, upon their neck, and on the top of their churches. But what really happened on this device of torture that causes so many to obsess over it? If you didn't a couple weeks... Continue Reading →
