Devotional – “The Church’s Great Need” – 10/11/2025

October 11, 2025

The title of today’s devotional at first had me thinking only one? Surely churches have many needs, but after reading it I realized that applied to the main mandate of “the Church” being “make disciples of all nations” given by Christ to his disciples following his death and resurrection (Matt. 28:16–20; Mark 16:15–18; Luke 24:46–49; John 20:21–23; Acts 1:8), … More Devotional – “The Church’s Great Need” – 10/11/2025

Devotion – “Method of Daily Prayer Part II” – 10/08/2025

October 8, 2025

We continue our series of excerpts from “Matthew Henry on a Practical Method of Daily Prayer.”1 These will be without the usual comments and study references. My hope is that people will be like the Bereans, as described in Acts 17:11, and will put Henry’s writing to the test. Directions for Praying All Day Henry wrote in his … More Devotion – “Method of Daily Prayer Part II” – 10/08/2025

Devotional/Study – “Carnal Christians” – 10/06/2025

October 6, 2025

If you are anything like me, being called a “Carnal Christian” is akin to being called cursed at. I believed that the two terms were completely incompatible. How could a “Christian”, someone with the indwelling Holy Spirit, live a carnal life? It just did not compute. You can go across America on any given Sunday … More Devotional/Study – “Carnal Christians” – 10/06/2025

Devotion/Study – “Usefulness of God’s Law” – 09/30/2025

September 30, 2025

COMMENT Last week, we examined what I titled “Death of the Law.” As in today’s Devotional, I relied on John MacArthur’s book, Before the Face of God, and the Baptist Catechism for the foundation of the post. Today, the sources remain the same, as the devotional is another of MaArthur’s from the same book. Here, … More Devotion/Study – “Usefulness of God’s Law” – 09/30/2025

Devotional – “Death of the Law” – 09/24/2025

September 24, 2025

COMMENT Our adult Sunday Bible Study has been working its way through the Baptist Catechism. We have been in the section relating to God’s Law, and this Sunday, we continued our study of the fourth commandment, Remember the Sabbath. We discussed questions 65, ‘How is the Sabbath to be sanctified?’ and 66, ‘What is forbidden in … More Devotional – “Death of the Law” – 09/24/2025

Friday Feature Quote – “FAITHFULNESS” – 09/19/2025

September 19, 2025

DEFINED FAITHFUL. After what hath been said under the foregoing article of faith, I shall not think it necessary to add much on the subject of faithfulness. The sense of it is very obvious. I only beg to observe, that it appears from Scripture the Lord delights to be known to his people, in his … More Friday Feature Quote – “FAITHFULNESS” – 09/19/2025

Devotional(s) – Grace to You Blog Series – 08/27/2025

August 27, 2025

As my readers are aware, John MacArthur recently passed away to glory. To say he had an influence on my life would be a slight understatement. It was his book, Why One Way, that opened my eyes to the reality of God’s sovereignty in all things and especially in my “accepting” Him as saviour. Over … More Devotional(s) – Grace to You Blog Series – 08/27/2025
