"For Such A Time As This" (Esther 4:14)
TRUSTING GOD IN TIMES OF PERIL
When I think of peace or Shalom from a Biblical perspective, I cannot imagine a more precious commodity to be in possession of.

This was originally posted in September 2021. I have made some minor revisions. The late conservative talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, published a best- selling book back in the early 1990s titled, The Way Things Ought to Be. Although I have not read the book, I understand that it basically lampooned modern culture and its

This was originally posted in January 2021. I have made some minor revisions. We begin the New Year 2021, one year closer to Jesus’s return.

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

The Bible reveals to us from Genesis to Revelation that God is good, that it is His essential nature and eternal disposition to be good; that all of His creation, all of His commandments, all of His promises, all of His providential actions throughout human history are expressions of His goodness – of His infinite

The promise of eternal life, escape from perishing forever in the second death, and restoration to the glorious life and relationship with God for which man was created and lost because of sin, is a great and precious promise made by the eternal, triune God who created us for His glory; to know and behold

Human life is inherently precious. Man was created by God in the image and likeness of God, crowned with glory and honor such that we would know and be known by God, love and be loved by God, enjoy and be enjoyed by God, not as divine equals but as beloved children, trusting in the
