“ Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”
“If the God of the Bible truly is who he has revealed himself to be—(and I believe he is!)—then, for that God to make the kinds of perfect and infallible judgments that we would expect of him, requires that this God must devote himself to his own glory.”
Read More"Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation,” (I Peter 2:2).
Read MoreA proper understanding of Jesus Christ’s nature as our Redeemer is critical for God’s people. For this reason, these truths have been ardently defended against prevalent errors throughout the ages. In 451 A.D., after centuries of debates, a creedal statement was written in order to faithfully express a proper view of these complex realities. The Symbol of Chalcedon remains a pillar and buttress of truth by which our God has greatly blessed his people. We commend it to you for reflection.

Read MoreCommunion is a gift of God’s grace for weary pilgrims on the hard and narrow heavenly road, (Matt. 7:13-14). God’s people should cherish this sacred supper and ever-rejoice in the gospel which it visibly proclaims to their souls each time it is properly served.

Read MoreThrough the Lord’s Supper, the saving work of Jesus Christ is visibly portrayed before our very eyes. Jesus assigned the bread to represent his body and the wine to represent his blood. Each of these are symbols of the work which Jesus accomplished for us in order to bring us—guilty sinners—into the saving grace of the New Covenant.
Read MoreJesus made a very important promise to his Church before his ascension to the right hand of the Father. He said, “And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age,” (Matt. 28:20). These are words of great comfort for any Christian. To know that our Savior and King will never leave us nor forsake us is a priceless gift to our souls. But, in these modern times, there seems to be quite a lot of confusion as to how this promise is fulfilled. In what way does our Redeemer continue to abide with his people? How does our Good Shepherd continue to look after the flock of his love?
