COMMENT As I glanced over the Beautiful Christian Life January monthly newsletter (attached), I tried to remember the last time I seriously thought about Holiness. I often think of it in the context of God’s sovereignty, but rarely the Holiness of God as its own doctrine or how it applies to you and me. Oh, … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Holiness” – 01/18/2026
COMMENT The actual title of today’s devotion from the BCL Newsletter is Pietism vs. Piety — What’s the Difference? I must admit that, somewhere in my mind, tucked away in a place likely never to be recovered, I had heard of Pietism before, but this study opened my eyes to another facet of Christianity and … More Devotional – Experience vs. Holiness – 01/14/2026
I never thought, 20 or so years ago, when I first read some of Edwards’ works, that I would have much in common with him. The older I get, however, and as this drawing shows, we actually have something very much in common. Oh, for certain, I am not claiming to be the great preacher … More Monday Humor (+) – 01/12/2026
“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
GENESIS 3 COMMENTS As 2025 comes to a close, I think it is a good reminder to reflect on our failures as men and women to do good consistently. This is not a condemnation, a judgment, but an observation that holds true for me as well as for the rest of mankind. To understand today’s … More Study -All Sin all the Time – 12/31/2025
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
COMMENTS As Christmas fast approaches, I can think of no better time to consider the Doctrine of Adoption. We, the elect of God, are only able to be called to adoption by the blood of Christ sacrificed at Calvary. It is fitting we celebrate His birth and reflect upon how we become Sons (and daughters) … More Study – “Adoption” – 12/22/2025
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
