A Lord to be Feared, a Savior to be Trusted
The cross has closed the gap between us and our Savior. Yes, He is to be feared, but He is also our Friend.
Jesus Our GREAT High Priest!
As we look at John’s description of the Savior we have to remember to discern between what is literal and what is spiritual. What John sees here is literally Jesus, but Jesus is manifesting Himself in a way that John can bear. Scripture teaches us that no man can look on God in His full … Continue reading Jesus Our GREAT High Priest!
A Layman’s Thoughts On Revelation: Jesus the Alpha and Omega
Praise and worship of God is easy when things are going our way. It’s not so easy when we are in the midst of trial. Because Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, He is worthy of my worship and my praise, not because of what He’s done for me lately, but because of the character of Who He is.

The return of Christ will be both glorious and terrifying. It will be glorious in that all of creation will see Him as He is and will clearly recognize Him as the Son of God.

Stranger Danger
Proverbs spends a lot of time dealing with the subject of strange women, not so much because woman are particularly evil, but because men are particularly lustful.
Spiritually Near-Sighted
Fools don’t always appear foolish. While some are obviously foolish because they are just plain stupid, many are quite distinguished. They are powerful; they are influential; they are cunning; they can be very well-connected; they can even be very wise in their chosen field. What they lack is biblical perspective. They are spiritually near-sighted.
If Only I Had…
How many times have you looked back on your life and thought: “If only I had done ____ life would have worked out so much differently for me!” Much of our lives are predicated on the big “If’s” we face. Solomon sought to save his son a life of regrets and “If-only-I-had’s” in this second … Continue reading If Only I Had…
