I have passed by this church many times. One of the things I love about this building is that no one can mistake it for a strip mall (referring here to newly constructed facilities) or a self-storage facility. It boldly proclaims we are a church. Last week, we looked at Christians and Politics. Should “Christians” … More Devotion – “Large and in Charge” – 03/09/2026
There are many scriptures that can be applied to this quote; the first one that came to my mind was Isaiah 5:20. Here is the Amplified version: Woe (judgment is coming) to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet … More Friday Feature Quote + Study-“EVIL”-03/06/2025
Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Only the fool says I do not need wisdom. STUDY Posted by Todd Linn, PhD on February 16, 2026 Heavenly Wisdom Ironically, our first parents, Adam and Eve, stumbled at the point of wisdom. Tempted by Satan to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of … More Study – “Wisdom” – 02/25/2026
Today, we will take an in-depth look at what is commonly called the Lord’s Prayer, or for those who insist, the Model Prayer. Our study will be from the perspective of Thomas Boston, a late 17th- and early 18th-century Puritan stalwart. Boston, and for that matter, every Putitan that I have read, never had an … More Study – Thomas Boston “Adoption and Prayer” – 02/04/2026
COMMENT What is “Christian Joy” and how does one obtain it, are questions that have been asked repeatedly throughout the history of the church. I think, even more so, in the last 60-70 years. The Western world has become increasingly self-obsessed, more what’s in it for me. Pulpits have preached a message of love, pushing … More Friday Feature Quote “Joy” – 01/23/2026
Today’s devotional and study is from the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. I have used their materials often because I agree with their view most of the time. Today is no exception. While this article focuses on the importance of Creeds, I think it could be expanded to include Catechisms and Confessions as well. Why … More Devotion/Study – “THREE C’s” – 01/22/2026
COMMENT As I glanced over the Beautiful Christian Life January monthly newsletter (attached), I tried to remember the last time I seriously thought about Holiness. I often think of it in the context of God’s sovereignty, but rarely the Holiness of God as its own doctrine or how it applies to you and me. Oh, … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Holiness” – 01/18/2026
COMMENT The actual title of today’s devotion from the BCL Newsletter is Pietism vs. Piety — What’s the Difference? I must admit that, somewhere in my mind, tucked away in a place likely never to be recovered, I had heard of Pietism before, but this study opened my eyes to another facet of Christianity and … More Devotional – Experience vs. Holiness – 01/14/2026
I will not comment at length, but it is important to note that there are many views on what constitutes the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit.” A quick Google search for an image showed a majority of seven gifts, followed by nine, and some with lists so long I did not bother to count. I … More Devotional – “Gifts” – 01/13/2026
COMMENT I know very little about Mr. McConaughey other than he stars in films. I do, however, agree with his quote, which is germane to today’s Devotional/Study. I am also familiar with folks who feel life is not fair and they are entitled to privileges that are not promised to them by God or the … More Devotion/Study – “That’s not Fair” – 01/07/2026
