"Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able!" Luke 13:24 This is the only gate which leads to pardon of sin, peace with God, and Heaven. Whoever goes in by this gate, shall be saved. Never, surely, was a gate more needed! Sin … Continue reading A Gate Made for Sinners
Does Peter tell us the gospel was preached to the dead? 1 Peter 4:6 presents a theological complexity that warrants careful examination. It reads, "For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the … Continue reading Was the Gospel Preached to the Dead? – Understanding 1 Peter 4:6
Many of us have slipped into an Evangelical assumption about the Christian life that does not align with Scripture. We live a Christian existence that is far from the biblical reality. We have begun to see the spiritual life as not much more than attending church to listen to sermons—some good, some bad, doing our … Continue reading Evangelical Assumptions About the Christian Life
It is sad to say that the precious doctrine of limited atonement is reviled by some.

It was lifted from the ground and made to stand on two feet … Continue reading Four Beasts and the Ancient of Days

We explored the article "Walking in God's Strength" and shared personal experiences and … Continue reading Exploring the Christian Experience
I recently celebrated my fiftieth birthday. I have had four other birthdays that ended in zero, but this one feels more significant—half a century. So much time has passed, and so much has changed, yet in all of that time and change, some things have remained the same. For fifty years, I have had wonderful … Continue reading Fifty Years of Grace
We look to Christ’s life for our salvation and righteousness, but do we also look to His story to define our own? Or do we think Christ merely gets us into heaven, yet it’s our job to ensure our lives are up to par? While we know only He can save us, we often think … Continue reading 3 Responses to Falling Short
Many people think they have peace with God. Instead, their inner peace flows from a deceptive heart. There is a peace that passes all understanding, and it is one of the most blessed aspects of the Christian life.
