God doesn’t do Plan B. God has never developed a Plan B in case His original plan didn’t work out. Jesus isn’t a measure-twice-cut-once kind of guy. God’s ways are perfectly conceived, perfectly executed, and achieve exactly what God wants … even with the Jews first and then Gentiles. So why didn’t God just go straight […]

It’s the unfolding light of understanding. When the beauty and effectiveness of the law are examined and applied, well, this inspection […]
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105) Surrounded by a world of darkness, a lamp isn’t just helpful, it’s necessary for vision, for safety, and for direction on the way to go. About the need for a lamp, I have a fond childhood memory that began […]
Light is His. It belongs to God. It’s been that way since the beginning of time. Psalm 104:1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like […]
