“The LORD, The LORD God”

In Exodus 33 we have the account of the aftermath of the golden calf event of Exodus 32, in which Israel, after being miraculously rescued from slavery in Egypt by the LORD God, and graciously brought into covenant relationship with Him (Exodus 6:7), almost immediately and blatantly violate the covenant conditions, namely the first three

The GLORY of His GRACE

This was also originally part of a series I posted in October/November 2021 “exposing” the person and works of the devil.  Some revisions have been made.   I would like to continue considering the why question regarding God’s purpose in the creation of Satan/the devil and subsequently allowing the evil and destruction that he and his

“TRIUMPH OF THE (Slain) LAMB”

The New Testament Epistle of Revelation, the closing book of the Bible, reveals the God glorifying, Christ exalting climax of redemptive history.  It was written by the Apostle John while he was exiled in a prison camp on the island of Patmos, as a consequence of his faithfulness to the Gospel (Revelation 1:9). It is

On THIS Day- He Bore Your (and My) Hell

This was originally posted on Good Friday, 2023.  It includes some revisions. I am posting this on the day we celebrate each year as Good Friday. It is called Good Friday, despite the fact that everything that occurred on this day over 2000 years ago can only be described as evil; the betrayal of Jesus

Anguish Beyond the Garden

The following was originally posted in April 2023.  It includes some minor revisions. It is the evening prior to the Jewish Passover, approximately 2000 years ago.  Jesus has completed His public ministry and has been spending the last few days of His life with His apostles, instructing them of His approaching death and how they

By This We Know Love

The following was originally posted in April 2023.  It includes some minor revisions.  Do you know the love of God? Do you personally, intimately and experientially know the width and length and depth and height of the love of Christ which passes (human) knowledge. The Apostle Paul prays for Christians in Ephesians 3:14-19 that we

Our Redeemer King (Part 2)

One of the most famous and glorious musical compositions ever written outside of the Psalms is Handel’s Messiah.  It was composed in 1741 by George Fredric Handel as an English-language oratorio, which is defined as “a large-scale musical work for orchestra and voices, typically a narrative on a religious theme, performed without the use of

Our Servant King

I suspect that every mother desires great things for her children, that they will grow up and become successful, dignified, someone who others respect and look up to, someone a mother can be proud of. No mother had greater aspirations for this than Mrs. Zebedee, the mother of Jesus’ disciples, James and John, also known

The Magnificent, Marvelous, Majestic, Miraculous Grace of God – DESPISED! 

This was originally posted in December 2022. I have made some minor revisions.  Grace is one of the most glorious, pervasive and essential truths in the Bible. It is why I am a Christian. And, according to scripture, it is the only reason anyone is a Christian (Ephesians 2:4-5).  I previously wrote on the glory
