Lord, You lay in wait as the wicked store up wrath,
and they seem to over run this world with their dark hearts.
No one seems to want this Christ,
No one seeks God.
But I then must be reminded that my King is a Lion,
and that one day Your roar WILL crack the sky.
And the heavens and earth [...]

1John 5:16-17
16If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not [...]
Q & A response: Patric’s question on God and morality…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Abraham, apologetics, christianity, ethics, God, morals, Nature of God, philosophy, sovereignty on September 2, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Patric asks:
Hopefully we agree murder is an immoral act and must be punished. But what of God asking Abraham to kill his one and only son? Was God not being immoral in asking Abraham to do something immoral?
This question has been raised by philosophers and atheist alike.
I’ve discussed this question with quite a few people, [...]

Does God bless the good of evil?

What is good? Your car, a ham sandwich, a nice salesman at the Best-buy store? Well according to Jesus none is good but God (Matthew 19:17). So what does this mean for the well-intentioned philanthropist who gives his money freely to charities and non-profit organizations?
Is this a good thing that this person is doing?

Consume us with the fire of Your glory,
O God, make me as passionate about it as you are. May the dryness of this world be set ablaze by the fire to where no water spout of the adversary or “well rooted” tree could stop it. May the fire that does not scold, burn others and may the [...]

Have you ever felt insufficient to share your faith? Or maybe just not adequate to paint the Gospel for somebody? Have you ever felt like, “If I could just get them to church or to read this book then they might be saved. But I just can’t do it well enough.” This is both good [...]
Here comes the bride…

There is no more beautiful picture of how Christ relates to His church than the portrait of the jealous Husband (Christ) after His bride (the Church). Lets try to soak this in for a second, we horribly wretched sinners are sought out by the perfect, beautiful, and all-sufficient Savior with an unrelenting, effectual, passion that [...]

Jesus is… existentially essential… “I am the bread of life“
Sitting in a hospital room watching a loved one hooked up to all kinds of medical instruments and tubes, one hopes that the doctor knows what is going on. The door opens and a nurse appears and asks if there is anything wrong in the room [...]
