A Friday Night Prayer

(8/21/2015)

God, Who are You in this life of mine?

You are the very Source of it. You are the Creator of all things, and none of all that began to exist existed apart from Your wonderful and unimaginable power of creation. From the farthest stars in the heavens to the abysmal depths of the (... więcej)

Four Things About Jesus A Story of Miracles Reminded Me Of

I was reviewing my Sunday school lesson for September 20, 2015 and the passage that I was meditating on was Mark 5:21-43. To be honest, I was tempted to settle with simply teaching my young pupils that Jesus is the Miracle Maker. But as I was meditating on the passage, I was reminded of these four wonderful (... więcej)

God's Saving Grace for the Infants

DISCLAIMER: This only applies to the case of those who died in infancy. In no way does this imply universalist soteriology. Remember that God in His sovereignty has an appointed time for the salvation of every individual believer (Acts 13:48) - and that includes the infants.

If You Hear His Voice, Do Not Harden Your Heart!

"Moreover, the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, so that he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had spoken to Moses."
- Exodus 9:12, MEV

Two Major Misconceptions About Salvation in Today's Christianity

* "Salvation is not a license to sin. A true Christian will continue to do good work, as Christians are not only appointed by God to be saved but they are also appointed to do good works before the foundation of the world. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not (... więcej)

About the Doctrine of Trinity

The Trinitarian nature of God (i.e., God existing in three equally Divine Persons, and yet being one God) just one of the incomprehensible teachings in Biblical orthodoxy - meaning, no human mind (which is just finite and therefore limited) can fully comprehend this teaching.

Why Study Theology If You're Not a Even Pastor?

Somebody asked, "Why take so much interest in theology when you're just a children's department teacher? You're not a pastor, are you?"

About Christian Perfection

Somebody (who is presumably a charismatic "Christian" of cultish kind) called me a "false teacher" just because my view about Christian perfection seems to be different from his own view.
