Have you ever faced a trying time, where you were afflicted? I have had my share of times of affliction, trying times and trying people. Just like you I know the frustrations associated with situations you didn’t create but you must fix, the heart ache of people who have made you a target of criticism [...]
You’ve probably seen a billboard announcing, “Stop visiting church and be the church!” If you haven’t you have surely heard the statement before in some form or fashion. While I do not like cliche’s, this one is valid and says a lot in just a few words. It makes me think about James 1:22, where [...]
The bible tells us so many things, and like other subjects, it pulls no punches in telling you who you are to God. I stated the other day that some of the greatest things God has done for His children are the very things we tend to shy away from believing. Well I want to [...]
It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation. Gal 6:15 NLT Are you a new creation in Christ? Nothing else matters as much, the New Covenant for the Christian is found in him or her being a new creation. (Gal [...]
We are still mining the depths of the riches of freedom found in the provision of Christ’s cross. Freedom from guilt, sin and the law, the three that weigh us down, the three that produce shame in our lives, the three that keep us from running to God lose their ability to keep us in [...]
The cross is the place where the old came to an end and where the new began. The life which God means the Christian to live can be lived only from this beginning. L.L Legters Do you know that you are freed from the law? The Cross truly is our rally point for freedom in [...]
“My sin… oh, the bliss of this glorious thought .My sin not in part but the whole. Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.” H.G. Spafford Do you want freedom? God wants you to be free. In the Psalms David rejoiced over [...]
Is the cross just about God punishing Jesus so that we can receive forgiveness? In our contemporary times the cross has been summarized to just one thing, forgiveness. While forgiveness is important and needed, the cross of Christ is much more to believers than just forgiveness. Have you considered how the cross deals with guilt, [...]

Do you know who you are to God? The answer to this question is the source of all your value, and significance. The unbeliever and/or the atheist does not see the inherent value of life or they attempt to find value in transient things, material possessions, and positions in this world. The unfortunate part is [...]
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. Eph 5:1-2 You’ve probably walked in a lot of places, but have you walked in love? Yes, there is actually a [...]
You might be thinking that the title “Redeeming Salvation” is strange, isn’t salvation basically redemption? Your right, but believe it or not the very idea and concept of what salvation is needs to be redeemed. There’s a lot of shouting, but the joy over our salvation appears to have faded. It appears that the word [...]
But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ... Continue Reading »
