No CommentsFolly and a raging heart.
When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the Lord. Proverbs 19:3 It amazes me every day people that blame God for their trouble. Couple things in this verse stand out to me. Man’s folly: This is man’s doing, his sin, his efforts, his action, not God’s. Man’s way: This...

No CommentsThe Gospel
“the covenant of works was broken by sin and was unable to confer life” – Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 What a different way of looking at the covenant. Often we think of the covenants as something the God must keep, we focus on the fact that His promises never fail… to think that a promise...

No CommentsCorrect Thinking
I was editing some code and I always like to have some rather loud music going to help me keep focused on resolving the problem I am working through. Today I had Demon Hunter The Triptych CD in going loud and the lyrics of one of the songs caught my attention. RELENTLESS INTOLERANCE These eyes,...
