The mercy of God is legendary. The truth is, He created it. God is the progenitor of mercy. He gave birth to it. 2 Corinthians 1:3 (ESV) 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. Mercy is what we might call the other […]
The primary story of the Bible, almost from start to finish, is about the salvation of man. Adam and Eve fell to sin in Genesis 3, and all of their descendants after them have followed suit, the lone exception, of course, being Jesus, who came to solve the problem of sin. Thank God for Jesus! […]
Fraternities and Sororities have been around for a long time. Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded on December 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and was the first fraternal organization in the United States of America. There were many more such societies to follow. On December 4, 1906, Alpha […]
No one has a greater hope than the Lord’s people. It truly sustains us in this walk of life that is filled with trials and tribulations. We know that no matter how much we have to endure in this life, we have something far greater waiting for us in the life to come (Romans 8:18). […]
So far this week, we have seen the “who” and the “what” of our hope. Tonight, let us consider the “where” of our hope. The “where” of our hope is heaven. This should be agreed upon by all who claim to believe in the Bible, but sadly, it is not. Some think that our ultimate […]

Who is the assurance of our hope? Who is the one who made our hope possible in the first place? Who allows us to have a confident expectation that our hope will come to fruition? The answer to all three questions is the same—Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:1 (ESV) 1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus […]
Hope. It is one of the real factors in our salvation. Paul said that we are saved by hope (Romans 8:24). What is our hope, and why is it so important? This week, I will be answering those questions and more as we consider what the Bible says about the hope that serves as an […]
Several doctrinal demands in the New Testament fall under the category of worship. God wants, or better yet, demands to be worshiped in specific ways. If man fails to worship God His way, God rejects the worship. We have an example of this in the opening chapters of the Bible. Cain offered a sacrifice that […]
