We're all predisposed to sin, but we can't excuse it by blaming our genes or circumstances.

A Happy Marriage

Marriage is a gift from God, but not about us, it's about Him. A happy marriage is rooted in the gospel and is a reflection of God's creation design. It's not just about happiness, but about sanctification, worship, and glorifying God. Marriage has various purposes, including childbearing and child rearing, but also includes suffering and redemption. Couples who have experienced infertility can find joy and purpose in their marriage despite their struggles. [... more]

How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity with Guest: Carl Trueman

The rejection of God's authority leads to the degradation of humanity, as seen in the glorification of transgression and the pursuit of autonomy. This is a fundamental aspect of human nature, dating back to the story of Adam and Eve. The consequences of rejecting God's will are evident in modern society, where technology and feminism have contributed to the desecration of the human body and the devaluation of human life. The pursuit of autonomy and the rejection of God's authority ultimately lead to the desecration of humanity, as individuals seek to become their own gods and defy God's laws. [... more]

How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity

The rejection of God degrades humanity, leading to a crisis of meaning and a loss of moral depth. This is evident in modern society's glorification of transgression, autonomy, and the pursuit of self-creation. The Christian faith offers a solution to this problem through the consecration of man, which involves a return to deep, rooted conceptions of our limits, obligations, and ends. [... more]

Communion with God

Biblical Calvinism is a warm and deeply personal faith that emphasizes the love of God, the Triune God's nature, and the believer's communion with Him. Calvinists believe that the love of God is the fountainhead of the Gospel and the source of all sweetness in life. They seek to understand and experience this love through faith in Jesus Christ, and to respond with adoring and thankful love to God. [... more]

The Church Is One

The church's unity is rooted in a unified confession of faith in the person and work of Christ, and its content is something believers agree with. Historically, the church has been defined by its confessional basis, but in recent times, there has been a trend to broaden the confessional basis to accommodate diverse views, leading to a loss of confessional purity and a fragmented church.

Spending Reflects Our Values

Financial decisions are not just about money, but about what we value and trust. Scripture invites us to slow down and look deeper at our spending, revealing what we truly value. A fiduciary duty is essential when choosing a financial advisor, ensuring they act in our best interest. Trusts can simplify financial planning, but require careful management. A certified kingdom advisor can help navigate complex financial situations, aligning our values with our financial decisions. [... more]

A New Mind-Set

The Christian is alive, living for God, and at peace, with the Holy Spirit guiding their thoughts and actions. The Bible teaches that a true work of God is evident in a person's mindset, with the Holy Spirit's thoughts and priorities becoming their own. As believers grow in Christ, they develop a pattern of responding to the gospel and defaulting to spiritual thoughts, revealing their true identity in Jesus. [... more]

Know...Consider...Present (Romans 6:6-13)

The believer's struggle with sin is a battle of the mind, and thinking correctly is the foundation for living correctly. Paul commands believers to think theologically, consider the truth of God's perspective, and present themselves to God as instruments of righteousness. The believer's old nature is not eradicated at salvation, but it can be made inoperative through the power of God's Spirit. [... more]

Terminal! (Romans 5:12-17)

The plague of sin has infected humanity, and death is a universal reality. Adam's sin introduced sin into the world, and it has been passed down to every generation. However, through faith in Christ, we can be born again and join a new race, free from the curse of sin and death. This is the only explanation for universal sin and death, and it is the solution to both. [... more]

From Prison to Prominence

Joseph's remarkable rise from prison to prominence in ancient Egypt is a testament to God's sovereign providence. As Pharaoh's trusted advisor, Joseph interprets a dream that foretells a seven-year famine, and he advises Pharaoh to take emergency measures to store food for the future. Joseph's wisdom and humility earn him a position of great power and authority, and he becomes the second-in-command in Egypt, with Pharaoh granting him a signet ring, fine linen garments, and a private chariot.
