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

Devotional Thought – “Foundations” – 01/28/2025

January 29, 2025

Today’s Devotion will be slightly different. In today’s in-depth study portion, I will not focus on a specific text but on the concept of a biblical foundation. Most people would say that the Bible or Christ is their foundation in theological circles. While I agree that Christ the Bible says He is more than a … More Devotional Thought – “Foundations” – 01/28/2025

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

Sunday Sermon Series – “Faith Alone” – 12/08/2024

Yes, posted a day late due to sketchy internet, Mia Coppa. I recently read an article that said statements like this confuse one’s perspective on Salvation. Really? It is clear to me, and I would venture to say, even the most casual of individuals studying Reformed theology that Luther is herein referring to the Five … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Faith Alone” – 12/08/2024

Thursday Thoughts- “Cessationism” – 10/03/2024

October 3, 2024

We have all seen or heard of those evangelists who promise those in the audience that if they just have enough “faith” and come forward to have hands laid upon them they will be “healed”. It is so emotionally charged, hyped, and over-the-top showmanship that folks forget, it is all about God and not about … More Thursday Thoughts- “Cessationism” – 10/03/2024

Devotional Thought -“Whole Armor” – 10/01/2024

October 1, 2024

I am fairly certain I have posted on this subject a few times in the past. What brought me to this devotional today (yes bsides the Holy Spirit’s nudging) was the word preceeding Armour in verse 11. Depending on your translation it likely reads whole, full, complete or all. It got me thinking being retired … More Devotional Thought -“Whole Armor” – 10/01/2024
