The Great Exchange: Replacing the Glory of God for a Lie
The Great Exchange How do we account for this mysterious reality where the great majority of men and women even amongst those who profess the name of Christ are indifferent towards the presence of God? Is it perhaps because they are uninformed? Or because of sheer ignorance? Will that work however? When before the judgment seat of Christ is it possible for us to plead ignorance? When our time comes to die and we stand before the ...

Do You Tremble When You Come Before the Holy?
What Have We Missed? We often cry out to God's mercy when we are enduring great trials, pains, and heart-wrenching problems. We seek God so desperately in these moments, often promising that we would surrender our lives if He would save us in those crisis moments. We cry out to God, His love, His mercy, His grace. In that, the God of love would help us in our time of great need. This happens so often ...

A Boring and Irrelevant God
A Boring and Irrelevant God A poll was conducted years ago to find out what are the reasons behind why people ceased attending Church. This survey was directed at people who previously were members of a local Church congregation and eventually ceased attending their respective Churches. The main and most popular reason why churched people quit Church is because, from their point of view, Church was boring. The second reason is that Church was irrelevant. The dry ...

The Might and Power of Sovereign Chance in Creation and Providence
Approximately 5 hours from now, all the mothers of the world will decide to go to the market to buy turnips. Due to such unexpected demand for turnips, not only were the roads leading to the market places of the world turned into heavy traffic zones, the supply of turnips for 3 years will instantly be consumed in just a couple of minutes. Were you perhaps alarmed? Troubled? Excited? Well, common sense would tell us clearly ...

The Creator Banished from His Own Creation
Though there are a myriad things to lament concerning the Christian world today, one of the things that I have yet to encounter is a Christian that would flat out deny that God is in control, that God is sovereign. Because, it is axiomatic to conclude that if God is not Sovereign, He is not God. To assert, even in the most fundamental level that God is not sovereign is to negate the very God-hood ...

Anxiety, Dread and Worry Before the Face of God?
I did not quite understand the true weight the article below held the first time I read it at the beginning of the year. Yes, I know full well what it is to suffer, how it is to endure suffering, how it is to go through severe acute, heart-wrenching trials—and to go through all that with the enduring faith that the knowledge of His sovereignty and grace provides. But then, the fact of the matter ...

When This Passing World is Done
I tried to write something to preface this hymn... All I can say is, we will never really, really know how much we truly owe... I fall flat on my face and worship. "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known." —1 Corinthians 13:12 When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking ...

Depth of Mercy! Can There be Mercy Still Reserved for Me?
I know I'm late for posting yesterday's Lord's Day Hymn. But still, the depths of the beauty of this Hymn compels me to do no other but post it still today. I hope and pray that it would minister to your soul far more than it did mine. Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear, Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His ...

From First to Last Jesus Does All Things Well
Starting today I will be posting "Daily Devotions" from various saints of old, Lord willing from the present as well. I hope that in some small way you would be able to find spiritual help in posts like this. I found this particular one from a friend on Facebook, though I am not sure if it's from a Devotional book. Nevertheless it has great devotional content that gives much to meditate on. Peruse slowly and feel the ...
