“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

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

GRACE and PEACE Multiplied

I began this blog over four years ago in the midst of COVID mania. It was the means by which I could best keep my mind on things above and not on the madness of this earth in obedience to God’s command in Colossians 3:1-2, and to present God’s offer of true peace, comfort and

Christ, The Altogether Lovely One

It has been my deepest desire to glorify God in these posts, and my daily prayer that God would use them to elevate our affections for His Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, through both my writing and your reading of them.  I must acknowledge however, that none of the posts I have written

Thankful for THE GOODNESS AND GRACE OF GOD (continued)

We are provided with a list of how that depravity will be manifested and it includes being unthankful. I personally see this very clearly in our society today,
