“I’m A Good Person”

I am sure you have heard them too, things like: “Christianity (or any religion) is just a crutch” comes from those who think they got it … More “I’m A Good Person”

Unlike the Song One Way or Another (Blondie, Sept 1978) there is only one way to eternal life. The bible is very clear you can not earn your way into Heaven it is a free gift of God Ephesians 2:8-10 otherwise man would revert to his natural state and brag upon his accomplishment.

Some of us are old enough to remember being taught American History in school. Eventually we got around to the topic of World War II and the famous “Loose Lips Sink Ships” motto. When I was a kid I didn’t think much of this mainly because WWII was in the past, the Vietnam war was … More Saturday’s Military Devotional – The Lips

Death vs. Life

CONTEXT: Yesterday in our devotional Blame Game we can trace the history of blaming others back to Adam and Eve (Gen 3:12-13).

Genesis … More Death vs. Life

The Blame Game

April 22, 2020

It seems that everyone wants and needs to blame someone else for their mistakes, suffering or overall lot in life. What is worse for me is I hear it and see it regularly in those claiming to be evangelical Christians. Mans Nature: It is mans fallen nature to lie and blame others for our failures. … More The Blame Game

Wilson and based on Romans 13:1-7 For today I want to depart from this a little and even slightly break one of my “Golden Rules” of Proper Biblical Exegesis.

John MacArthur on Anxiety and God’s Sovereignty

April 18, 2020

It should be clear by now that unchecked anxiety isn’t good for you. It’s a sin expressly forbidden by the Lord, so there is the spiritual cost to consider. But it’s also harmful to your health, your productivity, and your relationships. It wreaks havoc throughout your life, and as we saw yesterday, it strangles your … More John MacArthur on Anxiety and God’s Sovereignty
