Head knowledge alone will never save; only faith in Jesus Christ saves. Therefore, as those who have set their minds on what is eternal rather than on the fading riches of this world, we must urgently call people to repent and to believe in the gospel today.

Though people may lie about us, we must keep a clear conscience before God and remain faithful to Him, and our hope in the resurrection can compel us to do that.

Child Dedication and Baptism Service Homilies - James 1:17

“Peace! Be Still!”

God extraordinarily and providentially directs all things, using unlikely means for the protection of His people and the propagation of the gospel.

The Lord is faithful to His word. So find comfort in His will, trusting and knowing that He is with you and He will keep you.

Christians should speak the truth boldly but respectfully, exercise wisdom in difficult conversations, and take courage in the sovereignty of God, even when faithful service to Him is hard and leads to discouragement.

Christians must not be surprised when they are rejected for speaking the truth. And yet, they can still wisely appeal to legal protections when injustice comes their way, even as they seek to remain faithful in bearing witness to the truth.

The people of God, who are made up of individuals from throughout this entire world, must be a people who earnestly seek God’s will and who joyfully obey it.

God can save anyone He wills by His grace, even those who are most hostile toward Him. Therefore, we should always be willing to bear witness to Jesus Christ before unbelievers and even be willing to share our own conversion stories as a bridge to lead them to Jesus Christ as well.
