The Wonder and Grace of the First Coming of Christ
I was prepping for the Wednesday Night message this week where we discuss the Apostles’ Creed and ran across these quotations from John Calvin on the Incarnation. They are absolutely wonderful, so I thought I would share here. “…that the work to be performed by the Mediator was of no common description: being to restore…

God Is Unchanging
God is the same. He is always the same. That is what Scripture tells us over and over. And because of this, He is oftentimes compared to a rock. And I love this fact.

God’s Sovereignty II: God’s Sovereignty And My Decisions
The last post was a discussion about God’s Sovereignty. And when we discuss God’s Sovereignty there is an immediate group of questions that come to mind. I wanted to give a few examples from Scripture of how God is in control, even over the free decisions of people. This should add clarity…hopefully clarity, to the…

A Flea Wading In Our Pool Of Knowledge
Vivid language from the late R.C. Sproul. No one can come to Christ without having some knowledge of who God is. But after one comes to Christ, the issue is whether knowledge grows or stays puny and vague. Unfortunately, a flea could wade in the depth of knowledge about God in the mind of the…

Freedom
This is true freedom. A freedom that no creature can know or truly understand. God exists as totally independent of all things. God is free in acting, as in creating and preserving, because these acts do not arise from the necessity of his nature. He was free to create or not to create; to continue…
