The Westminster Shorter Catechism states: Quest. 1. What is the chief end of man? Ans. 1. Man’s chief end is to glorify God,(1) … More Sunday Sermon Series – “GLORY vs. SIN” – 08/11/2024
PSALM 127 PSALM 127:1 CONTEXT/STUDY OVERVIEW: This psalm emphasizes humanity’s dependence on God, and each of our Reformation-era exegetes develops this theme in their commentary. However, they emphasize various aspects and implications of this theme, including the vanity that comes when God’s blessing is not valued, God’s blessing of children, and the didactic function of … More Devotional Thoughts – “Builders” – 08/08/2024
In this age of hyper-consumerism folks live for themselves more than ever before in history. I do not believe the Bible teaches against having “world” possessions as some say. It clearly states however that a ravenous desire for material things is unholy.

First, let me repeat earlier statements in my posts that I know very little about Escatology or the study of End Times. I choose not to do in-depth studies or worry about it, the Bible says it will come and I am good with that. Yet it seems a hot topic amongst evangelicals, so this … More Devotional – “Eschatology”- 07/30/2024

These folks fear the once seemingly tranquil life America offered, even promised to so many has vanished forever. I offer a simple explanation for America’s apparent death … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Ten Commandments” – 07/28/2024
Limited Atonement, is one element of the most misunderstood doctrinal teachings (T.U.L.I.P) in Christianity. This quote from the article is in my opinion the crux of the issue: According to the Synoptics and Johannine Literature, the ultimate purpose of Christ’s death is to display the glory of God definitively.
