The Infinite Ocean of Christ’s Love!
In the words of the producer of the video below, "This devotional is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard anyone say about our Lord". I think it quite fitting and un-exaggerated. Listen and read the declaration of the infinite ocean of Christ's love! "May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it." —Ephesians 3:19 The mind has often been sensible of a feeling of awe as we have ...

The Supremacy of Jesus Christ the Lord and Saving Faith
"That's Not My God" "Well, I don't like that. I don't believe that God is like that. That's not My God!" We hear that objection so often, as if this declaration of Scripture of God's transcendent majesty and Kingship is not at all a Biblical teaching. How far is it from the truth. It's everywhere in Scripture! I remember a story from John Reisinger, when he was asked by an old lady about his son who died ...

The Figment of Human Imagination, An Invention of Maudlin Sentimentality
Your Thoughts of God are Too Human In Arthur W. Pink's book "The Attributes of God" he opens his chapter on God's Supremacy with one of Martin Luther's letters to Erasmus, he recounted: “Your thoughts of God are too human.” The distinguished and educated scholar might have resented such a denunciation, especially coming from a mere miner’s son; nevertheless, it was thouroughly deserved. Likewise, although we have no standing among our contemporary religious leaders in this degenerate ...

The God-Hood of God and the Gospel
The hardest part about being a Christian is that we profess to believe in a God that we can't see, a God that we can't feel, a God that we can't touch. Jacob's words are a typical of the plight contemporary culture feels. Ours is a day when people feel a distinct sense of the absence of God. We see no burning bushes, no pillars of fire, no real displays of angelic and heavenly manifestations, ...

The Law of God and the Impossibility of Salvation
The Law of God Have you kept the law of God today? How about in most of the day? In a single hour of the day? In 5 minutes? People often boast that they'll most likely enter heaven because they think that they're basically good. And since all men everywhere are basically good, most of human beings, if not all should and must go to heaven when they die. Salvation by existence. They have the inalienable right ...

Man: The Good Being • Hitler: The Good Person
Man: The Good Being A survey was taken in one of the state penitentiaries in the United States. It was conducted to find out what was the personal perception inmates have toward their own persons. One penitentiary, for example, has a collection of various offenders of the law. There are rapists, murderers, thieves, drug users and drug pushers, all of which come from almost every stripe and every race. The survey question put forward to them ...

The Fury of the Wrath of Almighty God; Wrath on the Son
The Fury of the Wrath of God In the 1st chapter of the epistle to the Romans, Paul, after telling us of the Gospel as being the power of God for salvation, to everyone who believes, that in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith", instead of expounding further on this point he suddenly seemingly changed the topic immediately. Instead of telling ...

The Wrath of God, A Display of Astonishing Grace
The Wrath of Man In the year 1933 to 1945, in the progression of the Second World War, thousands upon thousands of European Jews were being rounded up and assigned from certain “ghettos” to their respective concentration camps. As these captives arrive in the concentration camps they go through a selection process where it is decided whether they would be slave labourers or if they are to be executed in gas chambers. It has been estimated ...

How Then Shall We Live, Before The Holiness of God?
How Then Shall We Live? Are you still bored? Do you still think that God is an irrelevant subject? Would you still go through your life with self as the center and citadel of your existence? Your wasted conversations on trifling things? Your concealing the gospel to a friend or loved one, or a fellow passenger on the bus? How then shall we live? It is not my desire to simply challenge you on these issues. Christian ...
