During the early, carnal years we are afraid to face up to the sinful nature within, not fully realizing that it was dealt with in condemnation to God’s full satisfaction at Calvary. When we come to see that all the old nature was taken down into the death of the Cross, and in Christ Jesus […] More
Thoughts on Today’s Verse… God didn’t wait till we were “good enough” to bring us his salvation. Notice the words in this context (Romans 5:6-10) to describe us without grace: powerless, ungodly, sinners, and enemies. God sent Jesus when we were lost and desperately needed his grace. But then, that’s what love really means by […] More
to the Corinthians Paul wrote to the Corinthians and told them: to watch and stand fast in the faith – Be brave. Be strong. 1 Cor.16:13. Be steadfast, and be unmovable.. and always give yourselves fully in the work of the Lord. 1 Cor.15:58 to Timothy While Timothy was told: Don’t let any dishonourable word […] More
Today’s Verse The unbeliever dies in his sins, because he is born dead in trespasses and sins and continues to live his life in sin.

Thoughts on Today’s Verse… The source of our hope is not just in Jesus’ prior work on the Cross and in the empty tomb as he “who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” (2 Timothy 1:10). Our hope isn’t dependent upon our own will-power and commitment to hang on […] More
The growth truths seem complicated and difficult to understand on first encounter. However, with progress in grace we find them to be as clear and logical as the truth of justification. For both time and eternity, all is summed up in John 17:3: “And this is life eternal. . . [to] know Thee, the only […] More
It is a grand thing and a source of tremendous strength to come to the same position as that of Christ as Man, where we know that boundless heavenly resources are available. I think we only come there progressively, and not all at once. We only come there by the way of discipline – discipline […] More
Thoughts on Today’s Verse… When I read this verse, I remember Richard Melton, a beloved elder in a church where I once preached and a dedicated prayer warrior. He would quote this verse every morning before he entered into prayer. He often quoted this verse with tears in his eyes because he did expectantly wait […] More
