Looking at the Good News we have to share, one cannot escape the unique good news of Christianity: What was impossible for man…was made possible by God. No other world religion can make the claim that God reached down to do for us what we could not do. That God would pay what was needed […]

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile– the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they […]

One of my favorite passages in Scripture (2 Chronicles 20) provides us with Perfect Vision for Troubling Times. Summing up this perfect vision, 2 Chronicles 20:20 tells us, ‘Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” I don’t know about you, […]

“Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put […]

Jesus didn’t die a victim. He says, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me– just as the Father knows me and I know the Father– and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring […]

God didn’t wait for us to clean up our lives. God didn’t wait for us to earn our own salvation. Praise God, He didn’t wait. Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into […]

It’s Maundy Thursday and Jesus knows He’s being betrayed. He tells His disciples He’s going to lay His life down for them, for us, to display that He alone is the Way. That’s how He would be our Savior. If Jesus was going to come and be our Savior, Paul writes a rhetorical question in […]

Psalm 74:1 A maskil of Asaph. O God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? 2 Remember the nation you purchased long ago, the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed– Mount Zion, where you dwelt. 3 Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins, all […]

Do you feel weak, powerless? Do you ever wonder if it’s all worth it, trying to live the righteous life, and bringing glory to God? Do you ever just get tired of pressing on? Sometimes, the closer you get to your destination, the heavier the weight seems. A psalmist known as Asaph knew that feeling […]

The march from Triumphal Entry to Easter is so routine that it’s way too easy to forget the reason why Jesus had to come to die. (Human sin.) And that for Jesus, this coming week was anything but celebratory. It was a death march. The psalmist remembered the fate of mankind apart from a Savior […]
