by Lisa Leidenfrost 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Sometimes we ask ‘why’ of God when we don’t understand why He has given us such a hard trial. Job asked that of God and notice that God did not answer his question directly. He answered it by saying, ‘take a good look at who I am and that […]
The Gospel Part 2 —Repairing Relationships
A week later George made another appointment to visit with Pastor Jones. “Hi George, Pastor Jones began. “Before we begin today, let’s pray. Father, thank you for George and for what you’re doing in his life. Please glorify yourself as we talk and bless George with new things to live for and to do for […]
The Only Kind of Gospel There Is
Doug Wilson I have other things to write about, but it appears to me that the Lord doesn’t have other things for me to write about. I don’t mind because this is actually a subject that gives me full opportunity and scope to preach the gospel. But be forewarned, this opportunity is actually an opportunity […]
Apply to Christ
“I find Christ to be Christ, and that He is far, far, even infinite heaven’s height above man. And that is all our happiness. Sinners can do nothing but make wounds that Christ may heal them; and make debts, that He may pay them; and make falls, that He may raise them; and make deaths, […]

Feel Free To Worship Any Way You Want…
Morning, June 27 Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon “Only ye shall not go very far away” — Exodus 8:28 This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; […]
Knowing God
Dear Pastor Lawyer, This time, I have a good question. At least I think it’s a good question. It has me stumped. I was previewing some devotional material on Android and one of them said that the key to understanding God isn’t what we think about God, it’s what God thinks about God. So what […]
Exhortation : Freedom from Guilt
We are born guilty. From our earliest moment, we feel guilty. We feel this way because we are guilty. The Bible tells us that this is because of our father Adam. He sinned and we all sinned in him, both genetically and covenantally. As if this wasn’t enough, we all prove our guilt by doing […]
