Folly 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 […]
Hope
HOPE: the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best Romans 5:2-5 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, […]
Worship: Singing the Same Song!
I got an email from my father that was pretty neat for a son to get. It was a testimony of God’s working in his life. God continues to move even though we are old. Way old. 😉 It is interesting that I still wrestle with Dispensational vs. Covenant Theology… yeah probably not on many people’s radar […]
True Worship
Have we missed the point of worship? Have we gone the way of the “Mc Church” rapidly serving millions with a trademark presentation of church? Have we gotten so far away from worship that we can no longer “see God” in the worship? Eph 5:18-20 …Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, […]
How much more?
Matthew 7:11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Kicked Around
This morning as I watched the news I counted 5 ads for attorney’s offering mercy from everything from bill collectors to the “evil drug companies.” I listened to the commentary of the news anchors telling me how the economy was in an up swing and that it would soon create more jobs. I listened to the rhetoric of the politicians telling me that […]
The 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 […]
Correct 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, […]
Compassion, Mercy and Kindness
Ex33:19 And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” — It is a really good thing that God is gracious to this world that constantly rejects him.
The Effectual Call
Romans 8:28-30 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he […]
