Hooked On A Feeling
We have an unchanging God who gave us His unchanging Word and in it we read of the salvation accomplished once for all time by God the Son. We have a faith that never changes. Never, ever, ever should we go chasing after the novel and disregard “The Same Old Thing”.

He Disciplines Because He Loves
Now, a quick scan of the Book of Amos will reveal a whole host of pain being sent from the heavens like a Lucha Libre. Except this was years of pain and suffering instead of an exotic high flying elbow drop. This discipline would not last forever because it was not Final Judgment and there…

The Eternal Warning Label on Covid-19
Warning labels exist to tell us that danger is ahead. They tell us to think about what we are doing in that moment and that a wrong decision could cost us dearly. I heeded the warning not to take pain killers before driving after I’d had my knee surgery. I’m sure many of you have…

I Am Thankful That I Exist
I am thinking through reasons to be thankful over the next few days. I have been blessed beyond belief and know that. Yet, this time of year forces me to examine my life and give that a little extra consideration. And, I am writing that here, for all to see. Or, like 5 people to…

God’s Knowledge
At times there are concepts that are not difficult to understand at a conceptual level but are very difficult to really understand. The knowledge of God, at least for me, falls into that category. We see the extraordinary nature of God’s knowledge in Psalm 139. It begins with an this declaration. 1 To the choirmaster.…

God’s Independence
“Let Freedom Ring”, we cry out here in America. We love discussing freedom and having freedom. One of the biggest celebrations of the year is when we commemorate that day when we declared independence from Great Britain. Our forefathers told King George boldly and loudly that they would be free from his reign or 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…
