Did the devil really make you do it? We have come to the last lesson of the “Freedom through the Cross” series. Our freedom from guilt, sin, the law, the world, and the flesh, has been guaranteed and ensured by our joint crucifixion with Christ. However, even with all the freedom that victory over sin, [...]
Do you find yourself contending to do right like the Apostle Paul? “I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway” (Rom 7:19 NLT). This probably paints the picture of so many; really wanting to serve God, but ending up doing [...]
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 [...]
In the lesson “FTC:He became sin, who knew no sin”, the idea of could there have been another way besides the cross came to mind. Could God have provided redemption for mankind, justice for Himself, and defeated Satan, some other way? We know the Cross is the greatest display of love, but how necessary was [...]
“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 [...]
“Even the majority of Christians have never heard that He who has freed them from the penalty of their sins is able to keep them free from the both the consciousness of guilt and the power of sin.” L.L Letgers On the surface the problem of guilt doesn’t seem like a problem at all. In [...]
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, [...]
Preacher, writer, speaker, father and a savvy and disciplined disciple of Jesus.
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 [...]
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 »
