Experiencing the Grace of Christ in Everyday Life
“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” 1 Peter 5:10 ESV As we saw in the last post, power-play in the church is a satanic scheme intended to bring division among...

“…Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought...

I heard this on the Desiring God Pod-Cast. Episode 597 (May 15, 2015) was a question/answer session with Trip Lee, a Reformed Christian Rapper, addressing the issue of believers watching on-screen nudity. I have posted a link to it here, as a follow up to my previous post, "How Can A Believer Not Be Grieved By Watching Sin?". ... Continue Reading →
A brother in the Lord recently posted the following commentary about a movie that is in the theaters right now (I am not going to mention the name of the movie- it is irrelevant to the point of my post). It left me wondering how can a believer not be grieved by watching immoral entertainment- sin. "We saw the new... Continue Reading →

It has been a while since I posted anything from Wretched. The other day I came across the "Arrogance Test," administered by Todd Friel. I found it to be wonderfully convicting, yet slightly entertaining in a Todd Friel-ish-edgy-sin-exposing sort of way (if you know what I mean). As for me, I'm glad I spent three minutes...

Convicting and true this 4 minute 59 second Ravi Zacharias Sermon Jam on "SIN" is a refreshing reality check. Its a good word. "Intense is the agony... when the eye begins to see, when the ear begins to hear, when the pulse begins to pound, when the heart begins to throb, when the soul feels... Continue Reading →
“When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.” Proverbs 10:19 No kidding, right? When I was first married, this verse was my husband’s ‘trump-card’ when we were in an argument. I would be prattling on in self-defense or with some irrelevant angry-accusations. All of a sudden (in a... Continue Reading →
“Bear fruits in keeping with repentance." John the Baptist, Luke 3:8 One fruit that is in keeping with repentance is confession of our sin. Confession consists of giving full consent to, being in out-and-out agreement with, admitting wrongdoing, or an acknowledgement of debts owed. That is, confession is the verbal expression of our agreement with... Continue Reading →
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 First Corinthians 1:18 says that the message of the cross is the power of God to those that are being saved. Those who are... Continue Reading →
