    In Mark 10 we learn from the Pharisees and from some kids on how we approach Jesus. Do we try to justify ourselves, or be justified by God?

    Mark 10:2-13 So, usually I like to have my sermons done by Wednesday or so, and I worked very hard to get this one done on Wednesday. I wrote a sermon using the Gospel lesson that talked about marriage and divorce. And after I wrote it, I read through it before I went home and realized it was ...read more

    Israel’s "Shema" is not only an exhortation for Jews to make God’s teaching an integral part of their lives, but it serves as a good reminder for Christians to internalize the Word as opposed to merely using it for "adornment."

    I think I lasted three practices with the freshman high school basketball team. What good is a 4’ 10” guard with limited vertical leap, so-so jump shot skills, and only a slightly above-average ability to steal the ball? But I well remember those three practices. We would change into gym clothes ...read more

    Could anything be a stronger encouragement to faith than the unalterable evidence of what God has already done for the salvation of His people of faith? God who gave so amazingly to provide salvation will certainly give continued & final salvation.

    ROMANS 8:31-34 THE UNALTERABLE EVIDENCE [Genesis 22:2-14] Paul has been making a triumphant presentation of the reasons for the certain sanctification of the Children of God. He has just reached the c1imax of sanctification which is glorification. But as Paul commonly does he lets the ...read more
