Devotional – “Judge Not?” – 10/22/2025

An article on this topic was previously published in October 2021. When the subject came across my email the other day, I decided to expand upon it. SCRIPTURE W/COMMENTS MATTHEW 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. (ESV) When we read most English translations of this verse, it would appear pretty straightforward that we … More Devotional – “Judge Not?” – 10/22/2025

Devotional – “The Exclusivity of the Gospel” – 10/21/2025

October 16, 2025 by Steve The Exclusivity of the Gospel Charles Spurgeon, et al. The message of the gospel stands as a divine declaration of absolute truth in a world that hates absolutes. In an age intoxicated with pluralism and compromise, few doctrines are more offensive to human pride than the exclusivity of the gospel. Yet Scripture is crystal … More Devotional – “The Exclusivity of the Gospel” – 10/21/2025

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

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” –

Sunday Sermon Series- “Mission Field” – 10/12/2025

COMMENTS When most people think of “Mission Field (s),” the likely first thought is someone struggling to share the Gospel in a faraway third-world country. While this can be true, it is also true that, for most of us, our ministry, our mission field is right outside the door of our church and home. When … More Sunday Sermon Series- “Mission Field” – 10/12/2025

Devotional – “The Church’s Great Need” – 10/11/2025

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

Devotional/Study – “Carnal Christians” – 10/06/2025

If you are anything like me, being called a “Carnal Christian” is akin to being called cursed at. I believed that the two terms were completely incompatible. How could a “Christian”, someone with the indwelling Holy Spirit, live a carnal life? It just did not compute. You can go across America on any given Sunday … More Devotional/Study – “Carnal Christians” – 10/06/2025

Devotion/Study – “Usefulness of God’s Law” – 09/30/2025

COMMENT Last week, we examined what I titled “Death of the Law.” As in today’s Devotional, I relied on John MacArthur’s book, Before the Face of God, and the Baptist Catechism for the foundation of the post. Today, the sources remain the same, as the devotional is another of MaArthur’s from the same book. Here, … More Devotion/Study – “Usefulness of God’s Law” – 09/30/2025
