Jonah 1-4. This insightful overview of The Book of Jonah explores important principles we can learn from these chapters, including the divine providence, the heart of God, the nature of repentance, and the ways of man. There are certainly key lessons we can learn and apply to our worldview and...

The last prophetical voice of the OT left us with a promise of a forerunner who would prepare the way for the Messiah (Mal 3:1, 4:5-6). 490 silent years left us waiting, until that silence was broken with an angelic visitation and the promise fulfilled. Luke opens with a flurry...

Considering various scriptures and examples from nature, we ponder the wonder of creation and divine design. How clearly we see the principle of design in the migration of a bird, the life-cycle of a salmon, the hinge of a human knee, the order of the solar system, and galaxies. Oh...

Eph 1:6-7. The reality and experience of grace will often leave us with a sense of awe and wonder. However, it’s very possible that the unguarded believer can lose that sense of wonder. We must often be looking to the word and to the Holy Spirit to be quickened, again...

Colossians 1:3-8. Do you remember the day you first heard about grace? When it became clear and you really understood it? How powerful that day was. Even within the 4 walls of some churches today people have not heard “the word of the truth of the gospel”. Oh we are...

Gal 1:11-24. The false teachers (Judaizers) who were influencing the young churches of Galatia were questioning Paul’s authority and message. Paul clearly shows that He functioned independently as an apostle before he met the others and that his gospel came, not from men, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Gal 1:6-10, Acts 15:1-19. How discerning we need to be in the 21st century with so many false representations of the gospel around us and on the internet. Paul would not tolerate these false teachers and yet many Christians today so carelessly entertain them. Oh but let us stand firm...

Gal 1:1-5. Oh Grace to you today! And the peace that follows it. These words, used in Paul’s opening salutation to the churches in Galatia, capture the essence of the gospel and the Christian’s blessed experience. May we walk in His grace today and sense His prevailing peace!
