We’re on the fourth of Jesus’s illustrations of what true morality looks like to those that are in Christ. We talked about the sin of anger in EP 113 and dealing with our adulterous hearts or sexual purity in EP 115. Divorce and remarriage or better put our faithfulness in marriage in EP 117. Today…

Book recommendation posts are my favorites and I’m sharing some of my top reads from this past year. I didn’t seem to read as much as in past years but did spend a lot of time camping in the Sermon on the Mount resources for the series at the podcast. Martyn Lloyd Jones has become…

Jesus…

When a man is truly poor in spirit, recognizing his bankruptcy before God, meek, pure, desiring righteousness and a peacemaker—he will be salt and light for Jesus to a lost world around him. Now,…
We want to get things done. We want our days to be productive. Deep down, we always want to get all those items on our to-do list checked off, which rarely happens. We may have days or seasons where we’re productive and on top of things, and there are other seasons where we feel like…
Last year our ladies’ bible study group at church studied several of the Psalms together. My Psalm to share a message and put together some study questions was Psalm 1, and I wanted to share my time from that study with you today. Psalm 1 is one I memorized years ago and I thought I…

I love reading Paul’s prison prayers (Ephesians 1:15-23, 3:14-21; Philippians 1:9-11, Colossians 1:9-12) because we see the heart of what the apostle desired for us. Amid this trial, Paul didn’t pray the believers in Ephesus or Philippi would live their best life now. He didn’t pray for material blessings, but his focus was on…
