At the coming of the Covenant God, creation itself will tremble, and the city of man will be crushed under the weight of divine judgment, but His redeemed people will rejoice in the glory and grace of Zion's Great Champion.

Throughout Scripture, humanity repeatedly falls into sin, from Adam and Eve in the Garden to Israel and its kings, individuals and nations are seen to be totally depraved, following a consistent pattern of sin, and under the curse of sin, shame, exile, and death. The only hope for mankind's redemption is found in the gracious promise of coming Seed of the woman who will bear the curse, crush the s...

God humbles the proud to display the glory of His salvation. He redeems what He has broken and sanctifies it, transforming idolatrous and self-centered Gentiles into a holy nation devoted to Christ's glory in His church.

The doctrine of the Assurance of Salvation is founded on the objective work of Christ in the Gospel, as applied to the individual believer by the Holy Spirit. Assurance is possible when our focus is on Christ's finished work, not our emotions. And assurance should always bear the fruit of humility and holiness.

Human strength, self-reliance, and even faithful leaders all fail to provide true and lasting security and hope. Christ is the only secure peg on which to hang all our hopes and cares.

The Day of the Lord will be a Day of deliverance for God's people, but it will be a Day of darkness and despair for unbelievers. While we long for that Day with hope and joy, we should not do so flippantly.

An exposition of chapter 17 of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, concerning Perseverance of the Saints. True believers do not finally fall away. Our salvation is by grace, and our perseverance is continued in that same state of grace until we reach the state of glory.

There is one God over all the earth, one Savior for all mankind, and one people of God taken from among the nations.

The 14th Century saw the church at war with itself as the Great Papal Schism sent the church into its 70 years of exile in France. The entire century was a struggle for control of the church, while everyone seemed to lose sight of the fact that Christ alone is Head of His church.
