I know! I know! A few months ago I published what was to be my final volume. And I said as much. Moreover, after having made a supreme effort to finish that work before the sand had completely dropped through the glass, I did spend a couple of weeks, as it were, drawing breath. But then... but then... I felt I had to take up my laptop and mouse once again, and set about writing the book which is i...

This sermon explores the theological and practical dimensions of the human conscience, arguing that it is a universal moral faculty that judges individuals regardless of their exposure to written law.

What is true religion? Many people say that true religion is whatever makes people feel good, or whatever makes them experience the sense of the divine. But in this sermon from Psalm 84:1–3 titled "The Living God," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones gives a very different answer. He says that according to God's word, true religion is that which worships and believes the living God. The true God that has revea...

A great personal testimony is not defined by self-congratulation or recounting miraculous deliverances, but by the visible evidence of the Holy Spirit's control in one's life. The passage from Genesis 41:38 illustrates this, showing that even a pagan ruler recognized Joseph's Spirit-filled character, not through his words, but through his consistent conduct. True spiritual maturity is marked by a...

This sermon examines the direct connection between Daniel's prophecy of the seventy weeks and Jesus' Olivet Discourse, highlighting how Jesus explicitly references Daniel 9:27 to explain the abomination of desolation. The teaching argues that while the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 fulfilled the immediate prophetic timeline, the discourse also points to the future return of Christ as the Son o...

They Came Home This message explores the true meaning of homecoming through three biblical scenes, revealing that coming home is more than returning to a familiar place or gathering with familiar people. True homecoming is about what God has done in us, what He is doing through us, and what He still desires to do with us. Each scene illustrates the redeeming grace, transforming power, and continui...

Dave Jenkins explains the difference between sinful retaliation and legitimate justice, addresses the place of boundaries and accountability, and offers practical help for resisting bitterness.

The fear of the Lord is the foundation of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, and all three are necessary for a life that pleases God. Knowledge is learning what is true from His Word, understanding is discerning what that truth means and how it all fits together, and wisdom is putting that truth into practice through obedience. Simply knowing Scripture without obeying it produces no spiritual g...

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Gal 5:22-23) There are laws against many things. Yet no nation ever made or needed a law against having the character of Jesus.

There is perhaps no other truth which is so hard to learn as is this; that trying to keep God's holy law will not bring you into favor with God. Instead, we read here, it brings a curse. By nature, most people just think that if they just become religious enough; if they will try their hardest to do and keep God's commandments, then surely God will honor their good intentions, and He will save the...
