Friday Feature Quote -“Misuse of God’s Law” – 12/12/2025

December 12, 2025

PREFACE I seem to be reading a lot about God’s Law. In a previous post, “Death of the Law,” the focus was on those who deny that God’s law is relevant today. Today’s devotional will examine Romans 7:7-12, focusing on the Misuse of God’s Law. There are many ways one can misuse or abuse God’s … More Friday Feature Quote -“Misuse of God’s Law” – 12/12/2025

Devotion -“The Radicalization No One’s Talking About” – 12/06/2025

December 6, 2025

COMMENT/COMNTARY The author makes some great points about how liberalism has invaded the ranks of young women in recent years. I am convinced, and he seems to imply this is in large part due to the enormous gains of liberalization within the ranks of Evangelical churches. The following link leads to a September 2025 article … More Devotion -“The Radicalization No One’s Talking About” – 12/06/2025

Opinion – “Christianity at It’s Worst” – 12/03/2025

December 3, 2025

You just can’t make this up! The following article focuses on a supposedly “Christian” church in Illinois that decided to display a nativity scene. While I usually would have skipped over another nativity scene, the title piqued my interest. First, it may be helpful to understand where I stand on the matter: There are several … More Opinion – “Christianity at It’s Worst” – 12/03/2025

Devotional – “Christian Music” – 10/29/2025

October 29, 2025

Most folks today think “Christian music” is anything they can hear on stations like K-love or SiriusXM. Many churches have full rock bands that get the blood and emotions pumping. Long gone are the days of singing psalms and traditional hymns. Let me be open: I listen to K-love and SiriusXM (the message) when driving … More Devotional – “Christian Music” – 10/29/2025

Friday Feature Quote – “{True} Repentant Sinners” –

October 17, 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” –

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
