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
Our quotes for today emphasize the duty of every Christian. We are to read our Bibles daily so we may grow spiritually, be refreshed, and receive the guidance we need for our Christian walk. I often hear folks say, ‘My Bible is my only source for my Christian walk, I need no other.’ While technically … More Friday Feature Quote – “Reading” -01/16/2026
“There are but two families in the world, and to one of the two every man and woman belongs,” Boston writes. “One is Satan’s family, the other God’s.” All humans are born into the family of Satan because we are all born as sinners. God’s effectual calling draws sinners out of Satan’s family and brings … More Friday Feature Quote – ” Adoption Key to Prayer” – 01/09/2026
ROMANS 8 ROMANS 8:28 COMMENT About a decade ago, Grace to You Ministries published one of John MacArthur’s sermons in a series entitled “Frequently Abused Verses.” Our verse for today was the basis for one of them under the title “For What “Good?” Is God Working All Things Together? Why, or how, is this verse … More Friday’s Feature Quote – 01/02/2026
We must be exceptionally careful in the matter of comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible never contradicts itself. We must never base our doctrine upon one statement only; or to put it in another way, our doctrine must never be so formulated as to be in conflict with any other statement of Scripture or to … More Friday Feature Quote – “Why Doctrine Matters” – 12/26/2025
FSMandFSMWO prays your hearts are filled with the joy and peace that only comes from our risen Savior, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas. MacArthur’s quote is especially relevant today. Folks either focus on what is in front of them (Manger) and overlook the impact (birth of Creator), or they are so focused on what … More Christmas 2025
Once again, my mind wandered, and I forgot to return to this yesterday after dealing with grandchildren. Yet that was beneficial because this morning’s devotional (attached) exemplifies the opposite of slander. COMMENTS Slander, Gossip, and Talebearing are all words the Bible uses to describe a transgression of the ninth commandment. Although there are some differences … More Friday’s Feature Quote – “Slander” – 12/18/2025
COMMENTS Three (3) topics within today’s quote need further unpacking. They are Suffering, and the Author of Suffering, and Righteous Anger. Why is it that some within the “ranks” of Christianity falsely claim that believers should not suffer? If they do suffer, then just like Job’s “friends,” they advise that it can only be because … More Friday’s Feature Quote – “Righteous Anger” – 12/05/2025
INTRO Romans 8:26 says that the Spirit helps with “groanings which cannot be uttered.” What are these groanings? Whose groanings are they? The common Puritan interpretation of Romans 8:26 attributed such groanings to the person praying by the help of the Holy Spirit, and not immediately to the Holy Spirit (compare Romans 8:15 and Galatians … More Friday Feature Quote – “{True} Repentant Sinners” –
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
