In David's supplication to God to preserve him, he demonstrates where his trust and hope is found. David's plea is not in vain, and it is a trust that looks forward to the promises of God to deliver him. Christ sits at the right hand of the father where there are pleasures forevermore. So with that, the charge is this: Entrust yourself to the Lord, Take delight in him and in his instruction. Be co...

By inspecting the house of God at both the beginning and now at the end of His public ministry, Jesus reenacts the priestly duties of Leviticus. Jesus has measured the temple worship and found it wanting. The priests have neglected their duties. They have made compromises with the state and with the spirit of their age. Glory and gravitas have been replaced with convenience and commerce. The unfai...

In the Triumphal Entry, the greater Jeshua makes His way from Jericho to Jerusalem in victory. The Great High Priest has assumed the glory that was waiting for Him on the Mount of Olives, and He is coming to inspect His household. He comes riding a donkey, standing in an ancient line of judges and kings who ruled from this city many years ago. Like Jehu before Him, Christ's donkey rides on the clo...

The history and philosophy behind public education movement and private Christian alternatives.

The natural state of affairs is for us to be blind to the things of the Lord. The blindness leaves us idle, unproductive, and unable to help ourselves. While we are all brought into the world in this condition, many never see their need, and end up moving into deeper and deeper levels of self-deception and self-destruction. To come to terms with the reality is itself a gift from God. The Church Fa...

Christ has illustrated again that in the kingdom He has established, the first will be last and the last will be first. The way up is down, and the way to be great is to become a servant of all. Jesus has now made clear for the third time in this gospel that the road to glorification winds through the valley of suffering and death. Would we expect any different for ourselves if we are united to Ch...

If there is any sentiment that has no place in the Christian's heart, it is the sentiment that God owes us something. He owes us nothing. The only title we own free and clear is to our sin. Yet in His sovereign grace, God freely gives us title to the kingdom. So the charge is this; whether God has called you in the morning, or whether He has called you at the eleventh hour, meditate on the fact th...

The goal of the gospel is adoption by the Father and union with Christ. The Holy Spirit is the quiet workhorse who applies the gospel to our hearts and puts these benefits in our hand. The Spirit creates life out of dry bones. The Spirit cures spiritual blindness. The Spirit gives us a love for God's Word. And because He is the Holy Spirit, He is always in the business of killing and making alive...

Ascencion Day reminds us that Christ has defeated the dragon and cast him down from the heavenly places (Rev. 12). The war rages on, however, since the fallen dragon continues to attack the saints on earth. Jesus's reign is a reality which is already fully acknowledged in heaven, and which must be increasingly acknowledged on earth. The ascended Priest-King is taking His earthly claim through the...

The Puritan Cotton Mather, seeing how the sincere faith of previous generations had turned into complacency and indifference in his time, remarked that "Faithfulness begat prosperity, and the daughter devoured the mother". Wealth can rightly be interpreted as a blessing from God, but so often it corrupts through its false sense of pride and self-sufficiency. Christ has been pressing the point that...

In His all-wise providence, Christ extends His teaching on creation, maleness, femaleness, marriage, and the one-flesh union into its natural end – the goodness and blessing of children. The Lord Jesus's teaching is pro-creational in every sense. Children are a blessing. Children are an inheritance. Children are the fruitful crown of the woman's womb, and the continuation of a man's dominion after...
