Sunday Sermon Series – “Aging”- 02/09/2025

February 9, 2025

We must both, I’m afraid, recognize that, as we grow older, we become like old cars—more and more repairs and replacements are necessary. We must just look forward to the fine new machines (latest Resurrection model) which are waiting for us, we hope, in the Divine garage.—C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), author, professor, Oxford University Bible Truth … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Aging”- 02/09/2025

Friday’s Feature Quote – “The Sovereign Lord” – 01/31/2025

January 31, 2025

Nothing whatever, whether great or small, can happen to a believer, without God’s ordering and permission…There is no such thing as “chance,” “luck” or “accident” in the Christian’s journey through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God. And all things are “working together” for the believer’s good. —J. C. Ryle (1816-1900), Anglican bishop, … More Friday’s Feature Quote – “The Sovereign Lord” – 01/31/2025

Grace to You Blog Series – “Personal Evangelism” – 01/30/2025

January 30, 2025

It continues to amaze how many “Christians” believe their mission in personal evangelism is to save souls. Really, I thought that was the job of the Triune God? We are called (everyone) in the Great Commission) to go out and teach (KJV) or make disciples, as most modern translations of Matthew 28:18-20 have it. I … More Grace to You Blog Series – “Personal Evangelism” – 01/30/2025

Thoughts On – “Hermeneutics” or “Biblical Interpretation” – 01/23/2024

January 23, 2025

Hermeneutics. Traditionally the subdiscipline of theology concerned with the proper interpretation of scriptural texts. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the term widened to include the discipline that seeks to understand the interpretation of texts in general, including the proper roles and relationships among author, reader and text. Still more broadly, the term has been … More Thoughts On – “Hermeneutics” or “Biblical Interpretation” – 01/23/2024

Sunday Sermon Series – “Free Will”? – 01/12/2025

January 12, 2025

The idea for this post came about after reading a post on LinkedIn. The subject matter was Free Will and this statement caught my eye: God gave us free will so that we can either love Him or reject Him, but the decision is on us. That statement and many responses affirmed that the writers’ … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Free Will”? – 01/12/2025

Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024

December 27, 2024

The title of this devotional is “The Visible God,” but the image above (from the Hymn we all sing) claims God is invisible. Are we quoting the Bible wrong? Have we found a contradiction in it? Or maybe our Theology is weak? Actually, none of the above, as our devotional will note God in His … More Devotional Thought – “The Visible God” – 12/27/2024
