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
COMMENT I have often written on the subjects of “Christians and Their Duty to Government” and “Government and Its Duty to the People.” The preface to today’s article states: Romans 13 isn’t a slogan or a scare tactic; it’s a doctrine. David Mitzenmacher offers a confessional response to recent misuse and misunderstanding of civil authority. … More Covenental Look at “Romans 13” – 01/20/2026
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.

Many years ago, John MacArthur, while speaking at Focus on the Family, made a statement that shocked everyone in attendance and readers for weeks afterwards. His comment (paraphrased) was, ‘America has forgotten the God of our forefathers, and as such I see no reason for Him to keep His hand of divine providence upon this … More The Kirk Effect – 12/30/2025
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.
