Why Should I Love my Brothers and Sisters?

1 John 2 - This passage is full of indicators or "barometers" of how we are doing spiritually. Those who know God will have this pattern of obedience in their lives. There are lots of people who know a lot about God but who don’t do well at obeying God. This isn’t a “head knowledge” about... Read More

Hope in God

Romans 5:1-5 - We see the word "hope" in this passage a number of times. We know that it has a range of meanings. "I hope we have nice weather." "The hope of the glory of God." The opposite of hope is a miserable place. It is an awful thing. Despair. Darkness. Gloom. No encouragement.... Read More

A Case for Atonement

He started his career as a lowly... Read More

Because of Their Faith

Hebrews 11:8-16 - They were seeking something beyond this life here. A better and a heavenly place. As strangers and pilgrims here on earth. Abraham considered his life a pilgrimage. A pilgrim is one who is traveling through a foreign land. Or a devotee traveling to a shrine or a holy place. For us as... Read More

The Love Not the World Side of Loving the Lord with All Our Heart

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 - It was often easier for the Children of Israel to recognize and fear the Lord than it was for them to remember to love him.
