Who is Jesus Christ?  The Bible makes it clear that our answer to this question is the determining factor in how we live our lives in this world and in our eternal destiny of either Heaven or Hell in the next (Galatians 2:20) (John 8:23-24) (John 3:36). Jesus, historically, beginning with His three-and-a-half-year ministry on […]

I have noted in previous posts that the glory of God, His revelation and display of the infinite perfections of His eternal being, is the central theme of the Bible, the purpose of all of creation, particularly the creation of man (Isaiah 43:7). The Bible reveals that God displays His glory in four ways: In

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 would.  He does so for two essential reasons. One reason is because he

One of the most unsettling and even terrifying passages in the Bible, at least for me, is found in Matthew 7:21-23, near the conclusion of what is known as The Sermon on the Mount.
