The value of Jesus Christ outweighs anything you can compare to him, and of course it does, for all things have their being in him, for him, and through him. If Solomon in all his splendor did not possess the glory of the lilies of the field, how much glory does the creator of the lilies and all things beautiful, possess? What unsearchable imagination and riches are we reckoning with here as we co...

What do all the shadows of the Old Testament temple and worship teach us today? Remember that Hebrews has told us multiple times that the old covenant was given to us by angels as an intermediary, but now Christ has given us the new covenant, which is ministered to us no longer through angels, but through Jesus Christ himself and his heralds, first his apostles, then evangelist, pastors and teache...

Who is included in the new covenant? How are they included in the new covenant? And what are the promises and titles those in the new covenant now possess? Though the new covenant was promised to national Israel and Judah, national Israel and Judah were a type, and the Church is the antitype. National Israel and Judah were shadows, and the global church who is the body of Jesus Christ is the subst...

To miss the fact that Jesus Christ fulfilled the whole law, therefore, the whole covenant of works, is to miss the whole point. Additionally, to miss the fact that Jesus bore the cursings of those who place their faith in Him by being both the High Priest and Sacrificial Lamb, is to miss the whole point. We are no longer awaiting a second covenant, rather look to Christ, the obedient one unto the...

Jonah did not have the last word, and neither will you. Neither will anyone or anything that was created in all existence. The Lord our God will, and he has given us the final world already, chiefly of his Son and how this whole plan concludes, or said another way, how the completed new creation begins.. Jesus is The Lord of Ninevah, the Lord of Assyria, the Lord and Christ over all the earth. Hum...

The visible covenant community will at times loose someone who in a very real sense snuck in to the visible covenant community and remained under the radar for a time, but the invisible covenant community cannot change. Furthermore, loosing on earth should be rare for a biblical church, and binding should be a common occurrence. The church is a wheat field with some tares, not a tare field with so...

A lack of hearing the word leads to immaturity. The unique danger though for Christians is that you can subject yourself to the word over and over, but if you dull your hearing, you’re no more skilled in righteousness then the pagan next door.  Those who dulled their hearing to the word of God are like a child who is barely paying attention, unskilled in any area, running right back into the ditch...

Jesus is the one who will have all his enemies subjected under his feet like Abram, like Joshua, like David, but globally and without end. He is the one who will execute judgement among the nations, filling them with corpses, shattering chiefs over the wide earth, like Abram, Joshua, and David but globally and without end. Jesus is the one who will represent all his people from every nation, tribe...

Whether mixing grace and your own works, hiding sin, or reducing the perfectly righteous standard of God and confessing that sin is not so sinful, we must recognize where we have fallen for these traps, repent, hold fast the true confession, and give proper glory to our crucified Savior who came into the world to save sinners, of whom, you should recognize yourself as the foremost. 

Christian Parenting can be summarized this way: Children in the home have one primary job which is to obey and honor mom and dad, and mom and dad have one primary job which is to help the children do their job. Fathers, the culture of your home is a direct reflection of your godliness. If you are filled with gratitude, patience, peace, joy, wisdom and righteousness, the home will be as well. Where...
