Rooted & Unwithered episodes

  • To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice | 1 Samuel 15:22

    Like Saul, it is all too easy to attempt covering up our disobedience with sacrifice. We disobey in some manner and then resolve to do something else for God. We then feel better because we have done something tangible to make up for our sin. Unfortunately, that impulse runs contrary to the gospel. In fact, it is anti-gospel.

  • Question 30: What Is Faith in Jesus Christ?

    This is the essence of what faith is. Faith is trusting in something that cannot be seen, as Hebrews 11:1 makes clear. Faith is not a means of manipulating or forcing God's hand; rather, faith is placing

    one's trust and confidence in God rather than in ourselves.

  • Boiling a Young Goat in Its Mother's Milk | Deuteronomy 14:21

    So, how does this command still apply?

    I believe that the underlying principle is against using instruments of life as a means of death.

    Mother’s milk is life-giving. Perhaps the only substance more life-giving is blood, which was forbidden for that every reason from consumption under the law.

    • Question 29: How Can We Be Saved?

      The penalty of our sins is paid by Christ, yet notice too that Christ’s own righteousness is imputed to us. The Scriptures frequently use the imagery of having our old, stained clothing removed and then given unstained, perfectly clean clothing instead. That is what Christ has done for us. He died the death we deserved to die and lived the life that we were designed to live. By His death, He took our judgment upon Himself and has placed His own righteousness upon us, so that we may now have restored fellowship with God.

    • Prince of Peace

      As we celebrate the birth of our Lord, His entering into our world as a lowly infant, let us give thanks that He came to bring us peace, both with God and man, now and forevermore.
