Some thoughts on abusive churches prompted by an article by Pat Zukeran of the same title.

A mediation on Psalm 1

I have read this psalm many times, but this morning I came away with a different impression than I have ever had before.

It’s not about do’s and don’ts

Often, by both believers and non-believers, the Christian life is viewed as adherence to a list of do’s and don’ts. The Apostle Paul offers us a new way.

Genesis 50:20 – The Proper Understanding of Evil

Joseph learned that even though his brothers were evil toward him, God remained in control and even the evil coudl be used by God for good.

This verse in Isaiah encourages me that at some point justice will be established. We will no longer experience terrorism, disease, or government corruption. We have a hope that rises higher than any flood of bad news that comes our way.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones again on Prayer

Life as a flawed human in a flawed world is often difficult. But, for the Christian, we have the assurance that God will see us through to the end. I don’t think it is possible to over emphasize what Paul tells us in Philippians 1:6.
