Where Sin Abounded, Grace Abounded Much More (Romans 5:12-21) 51:10

3d ago51:10

51:10

Romans 5:12-21 contains an important and powerful contrast between our sin and God’s grace. It is important for us to understand how sufficient and powerful God’s provision in Christ is. However, we must also be careful to fully understand how it works, how it is applied, and how it is to dramatically change our lives.…

The Purpose of the Commandment (1 Timothy 1) 36:25

2h ago36:25

36:25

Paul’s reminder of why he left Timothy in Ephesus in 1 Timothy 1 is relevant today. Still people depart from the focus of God’s work in salvation, and use the law unlawfully. We must remember what the gospel is for, and how it is to be used. Only that can save lost men.

11d ago40:37

40:37

“I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:7) The skeptic will abuse this verse to suggest that God is the creator of immorality. An examination of the context of the verse, as well as the remote context of God’s nature will show this is not the case. Still, evil and suffer…

The Makings of Modesty 47:49

21d ago47:49

47:49

What is modesty all about? What makes modesty? Often, these questions and others like them are met with very one-dimensional answers.

1M ago49:43

49:43

Concerning marriage, Jesus said, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Matthew 19:6) Ultimately, this statement is aimed at any who are married.

Repentance is a universal requirement to be found right with God upon sin occurring (cf. Acts 17:30). In order to forgive each other, and maintain fellowship there must be repentance (cf. Luke 17:3-4). For this reason, it is vital that we know what true repentance actually looks like. How does it act?…

Whatever Makes Manifest is Light (Ephesians 5:13) 49:42

1M ago49:42

49:42

“All things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.” (Ephesians 5:13) As children of light, we have the duty of bearing fruit of light, and exposing darkness. This is what light does. If we are not making manifest the unfruitful works of darkness, are we light?…

Exodus 17:8-16 records the attack of Amalek on Israel at Rephidim. God gave Israel victory, “And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner” (Exodus 17:15). God fights for us, but we must go to Him in faith.

“Errors! who doth understand?” (Psalm 19:12, YLT) Psalm 19 speaks of the general revelation of God in creation, and the specific revelation of God in His word.

The Bible condemns self-love (cf. 2 Timothy 3:1-5), and at the same time instructs us to love ourselves (cf. Matthew 22:39). There is a big difference between the self-love the world encourages, and that which God requires.

38:22

God commanded Israel to utterly destroy all the inhabitants of Canaan when they entered the land He had promised them (cf. Deuteronomy 7:1-5; 20:16-18).

Growth and Sin 47:50

6M ago47:50
