Delight in Grace

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.

Who was this baby Jesus, lying in a makeshift bed made for animal feed? The Christmas song, “Sing We the Song of Emmanuel” lays out the mind-bending beauty like this: Helpless He lay, the Invincible. Maker of Mary, now Mary’s Son. The Creator Himself became one of His own creation in order to catch us up out of the grasp of the Enemy- to free us from the debt of our sin and the separation from Him...

What is the best form of government? As Americans, we hold the flag of democracy high, as well we should. It doesn’t take a deep look into history to see how quickly power corrupts. vThe One who would take the savage death of the cross for us, who would be rejected and punished for us. What if we lived under a monarchy where the High King was Jesus? The Bible teaches that a day is soon coming wher...

What is the best form of government? As Americans, we hold the flag of democracy high, as well we should. It doesn’t take a deep look into history to see how quickly power corrupts. We can find a long trail of injustice and oppression wherever we find a single ruler who held control over a nation. But what if that ruler is the Benevolent Sovereign of the Universe, the very One who lowered Himself...

Let’s listen to this message from our Christmas series from...

As an illustration of the corrupting power of sin, let us consider a pitcher of pure, refreshing water. If we were to add even the slightest bit of sewage to that container, none of us would have any interest in drinking it. The entire pitcher is completely contaminated. Sin completely contaminates and corrupts our human nature. In the Old Testament, the sacrificial system became a picture, a fore...

Dark rooms are scary. Walk into a dark place and you want to get the light on as soon as you can because you need to see what's around you and where to go. But humans want more than just seeing. We are unique in creation because we long to be part of something greater than ourselves and we believe that there should be ultimate good. That's because we were created in God's image -- He made us for H...

It is something to grapple with when we see the evil person prospering. Thankfully, Psalm 37 reminds us of the framework from which we can view life.
