Thou Hatest All Workers of Iniquity, Not Just Iniquity
If it be true that God loves every member of the human family, then why did our Lord tell His disciples “He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father…If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him.” (John 14:21, 23)? Why say “he that loveth Me shall be loved of My ...

What Grace is This?!
I apologize for not being able to post anything at all this week. I've been quite busy with things going on with work and our local ministry, and since I had my Birthday this past Wednesday, that took me off my writing regiment too at the middle of the week. By God's grace I was still able to keep a journal and earlier today I wrote this poem for my other blog, Nothing but a ...

A Thousand Reasons He Should Destroy Me!
“I will love them freely.” ---Hosea 14:4. THIS sentence is a body of Divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fullness is a true Master in Divinity. “I will love them freely,” is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered to us in Christ Jesus our Redeemer. The sense hinges upon the word “freely.” “I will love them freely.” Here is ...

The glow of perfect love warmed his heart. The choices of his will were all on the side of purity. His conscience was the seat of perfect peace. The beauties of holiness adorned his character. His whole soul was in harmony with the ...

Man’s state according to Scripture
We are sinful. We are sinners. We are God's enemies. We are the farthest thing from God. The Bible clearly says so. We have fallen. There is no one who is righteous. No one who seeks God on his own. We have been separated from God. We do not know what holiness is and neither can we acquire it by ourselves. How many more verses do we need to tell us the plain Truth?hy is ...
