A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt4

Psalm 27:13-14, "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Suffering is never neutral. Meaning, we bring to our suffering our thoughts about God, sin, and trials. In other words, … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt4

A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt3

2 Corinthians 12:8-10, "Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt3

A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt2

Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt1

Romans 8:18, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Often times suffering does not make sense. When trials come our way, whether it is job loss, sudden illness, the death of a loved one, or whatever else we may be facing, we don't … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Suffering, pt1

A Brief Devotion: Spiritual Disciplines

This is an excerpt from "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life" by Donald S Whitney with thoughts from Van Zyl De Villiers: The most important feature of any Spiritual Discipline is its purpose. Just as there is little value in practicing the scales on a guitar or piano apart from the purpose of playing music, … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Spiritual Disciplines

A Brief Devotion: Awe & Wonder, pt1

Hebrews 10:24, "...let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works..." Christian encouragement helps stirs us on, especially when we have this worrying sense that we've lost some excitement about being a Christian. For example, consider the following encounter: 'A Christian friend is very excited. they have seen God do … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Awe & Wonder, pt1

A Brief Devotion: Trusting God, pt6

God’s Sovereignty and Our Responsibility: Colossians 3:15-17 The sovereignty of God and man’s responsibility are not antithetical to one another. We are responsible for all our actions and will be held accountable for our sins. A great example of this truth is seen in the Garden of Eden. As God is sovereign, He instructs man … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Trusting God, pt6

A Brief Devotion, Trusting God, pt4

Trusting God Despite Confusion Jerry Bridges once said, "We must learn to trust when we don’t understand!" But for many of us, learning to trust God has been, or is, a slow and difficult process. It is often easy to trust God in the light, but in the dark, not so much. Sure, we know … Continue reading A Brief Devotion, Trusting God, pt4

A Brief Devotion: Trusting God, pt2

God Is in Control: God has absolute control over all things and is working them out in our lives for our good and His glory. So whether we acknowledge it or not, we cannot carry out any plan apart from the will of God. God has absolute independence to do as He pleases and has … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Trusting God, pt2

A Brief Devotion: Trusting God, pt1

If God is truly in control, why does God allow miscarriage, a lost job, a car accident, a lengthy illness, heartache, etc? When we look through our circumstances with eyes of faith, we can see that God has great love for His people. He does not allow any circumstance that is not for the good … Continue reading A Brief Devotion: Trusting God, pt1

Scripture: 4 Attributes of God’s Word

Firstly, almost all the protestant systematic theological writes agree that the basis for the inspiration of Scripture is found in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. This teaches that God Himself has revealed His Word for the church’s and believer’s benefit, and for His glory. The fact that the Scripture has been inspired by God, means it cannot be … Continue reading Scripture: 4 Attributes of God’s Word
