    Who Alone Is Immortal

    Long ago C. H. Spurgeon said that the study of God would improve, humble, and expand the mind - a thesis we will test with an examination of 1 Tim 6:13-16.

    “Who Alone Is Immortal” What better way to begin my sermon than by reading from a really good one! Here is a bit of one delivered on Jan. 7, 1855: “It has been said by someone that ‘the proper study of mankind is man.’. . . but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God’s elect is ...read more

    Christians must fight a battle for truth - not just for "truths" but for the very idea and possibility of truth.

    The God of Truth Ps. 31:1-5 As a campus minister, it is easy enough for me to see problems in our world today -- from individuals who are just not sure if there is any way to make sense of life to the "Gay and Lesbian Alliance."

     | 9,158 views

    Wisdom is the key to life. Choose wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

    It’s interesting how often in the Scriptures we find ourselves addressed as though we were walking along and had come to a fork in the road. Here we have to make a decision. Do we go right or do we go left? And so often the decision is a life changing one. Joshua in Joshua 24 tells the people they ...read more

     | 3,819 views

    Understand the nature of the temptations Satan throws before you, fight them with God’s word and seek forgiveness from Jesus when you fail, knowing that he understands what it’s like to be tempted.

    Do you ever wonder whether these temptations of Jesus were a fair test. After all, he was the Son of God, so Satan was out of his league really, wasn’t he? It wasn’t like you or me being tempted. I mean Satan hardly has to lift a finger and we give in. But then we’re a lot weaker than Jesus. But ...read more
