                    In other words, we begin our Christian life in God’s grace, and then quickly abandon grace, and try to live our life, and almost to continue to earn our salvation, - by what we do, by our works.
Author Jerry Bridges puts it like this: "We tend to give an unbeliever just enough of the gospel to get

During the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century, German pastor Paul Gerhardt and his family were forced to flee from their home. One night as they stayed in a small village inn, homeless and afraid, his wife broke down and cried openly in despair. To comfort her, Gerhardt reminded her of

James was caught by Herod; Herod captured Peter.

James would have to face the sword and Peter would escape it.

                    One Saturday morning a wife awoke to the delightful smell of waffles and the sound of her two small boys in the kitchen with her husband.

                    In warfare, there is always an objective. In many wars, the objective is land.
