When we understand the fall of Adam into death in trespasses in sins in the garden, then the rest of the doctrines of grace should be pretty easy to understand. Man is not sick, injured, or drowning. All of mankind by nature is dead in sins. Dead men cannot do anything. Therefore, since dead man […]

We look at the example of the resurrection of the dead Shunammite’s son to learn spiritual lessons about our salvation. He was not resurrected by the staff (the word of God), but he was resurrected by Elisha taking the form of the child, stretching himself over him, showing us a picture of imputation and Christ […]

In the midst of his suffering, Job experienced a more sacred nearness with the Lord in his trial. Our desire is the same as Job’s, to feel our Savior near in our daily lives. We feel the Spirit ministering to the children of God who are laboring and heavy laden to give us a close […]

We study together the parable of the unjust steward. This is not teaching a lesson to be crafty or wily in your business dealings, but rather teaching the importance of integrity in the way we deal with others and in business. We must be men and women of our word, honoring the Lord in all […]

God gives his children faith in the new birth, but we have to be diligent to add to our faith and grow in discipleship. We add to our faith virtue, patience, and other spiritual disciplines to arrive at the pinnacle of charity to make our calling and election sure to ourselves and others.

In following the example of the heroes of faith in Heb. 11, we see that our faith should be edified by looking unto their examples. The faith that we have been given by the Lord is our foundation that provides us stability in our lives. Our faith also give us inspiration to have encouragement, strength, […]

Unfortunately, at times in our lives our faith might not be worked out like it should be. We might exhibit no faith or dead faith. It’s possible our faith can err, be shipwrecked, and even overthrown. However, even if we make those mistakes and don’t work out our faith like we ought to, nevertheless the […]
