Sovereign or Superior Grace? Many, I have found report to believe in Sovereign Grace. They speak of their love for a God who sovereignly elected a people, a Christ who sovereignly atoned for those particular people alone, and a Spirit who sovereignly and successfully regenerates the same chosen people. In their confessions, they boldly and […]
If my wife asked me if I loved her, and I replied that I did in a sense, it would not be received well. I hear preachers speak of God loving all men in a sense, and sincerely offering mercy and forgiveness to all men – that is quite simply not true! The apostles never […]
“I Am The Way” John 14:6 The Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate, crucified, risen, exalted Son of God says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Christ is THE DOOR; you cannot enter into the kingdom of God, but by him. Christ is THE […]

“It Is Finished”, (John 19:30) Years ago, someone asked me how long it took me to finish a painting. My answer was this, “You never finish a painting…you just come to a stopping point.” Concerning all efforts on man’s part, nothing can truly be said to be finished.

In fact, it is everything, (yes, everything) a child of God experiences in life and thought prior to being effectually called to Christ by the Holy Spirit. Our Heavenly Father knows each one […]
The King’s Matter “…thou hast made known unto us the KING’S MATTER.” Dan. 2:23 A death sentence had gone out from King Nebuchadnezzar for Daniel and his friends. The only way their lives could be saved was for the Lord to reveal the mystery of the king’s dream. So, it is with us. The wages […]
Lord, Make Us To See Our Need The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: the grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass (Isa. […]
