Last week, I listened to this sermon from 10th Presbyterian, which was based on Colossians 3:11: Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. The sermon explained that humans naturally and sinfully show partiality. We like to be with people that are… Read More »
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. – 2 Corinthians 7:10 There is such a thing as worldly grief. I may know that something I did was wrong, but be sorry for the wrong reasons. I may be sorry that I was caught or that… Read More »

Here’s a trajedy of unspeakable proportions… gender problems in China. This look interesting… America by Religions and Denominations. I wonder if I can use my law degree to start up Christian schools and churches.

Humans are tempted to sway to extremes. We are like pendulums, tending to sway to one side or the other. In contrast, God is a firm foundation. Christians must find their ballast in God’s word. A simply example may prove my point– consider the balance of Scripture on the topic of our bodies. The body… Read More »
I have a great respect for men like Wayne Grudem and Al Mohler. (I’m sure many more deserve to be on the list. For example: MacArthur, Duncan, Sproul, Piper, professors and pastors who shepherd me…) These men are scholars of the first rate. Intellectuals for Christ. In listening to one of Grudem’s sermons, what struck… Read More »
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. – 1 Peter 2:9 The Bible forbids mixed marriages. Not interracial marriages, but marriages between Christians and non-Christians. In… Read More »
Email is an important means of communication. It has helped me to keep in touch with friends, set appointments, and be informed of the news. But I have gotten to the point of being overwhelmed by email! It is simply too time consuming to read all my email! I have a love/hate relationship with technology.… Read More »
