17Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” OnContinue reading ““I Saw the Video:” The Insanity of Leftist Mob Mentality in the Case of Renee Good”

Choo Choo’s and Trucks
My son is growing up, little by little. It’s my joy and privilege to parent him with my wife. His little mind is sharp. He’s learing words left and right, beginning to count to ten, and climbing everywhere. He loves trucks and diggers and garbage trucks — and especially his choo choo’s (wooden trains givenContinue reading “Choo Choo’s and Trucks”

Trust like Jesus
In Hebrews 2:12-15, the argument is made that Christ was a man like us, because he lived by faith like we do (which the angels do not). To this end, the apostle brings in these words prophesied of Him, as spoken by Him of Himself, “I will put my trust in Him,” as one proofContinue reading “Trust like Jesus”
War Against Universal, World-Wide Lack of Peace – Martin Luther
The following is taken from Martin Luther’s Whether Soldiers, Too, Can Be Saved? When men write about war, then, and say that it is a great plague, that is all true; but they should also see how great the plague is that it prevents. If people were good, and glad to keep peace, war wouldContinue reading “War Against Universal, World-Wide Lack of Peace – Martin Luther”
The Heroic Heart of Jesus
When you are confused or hurt by those you trust, remember this: in Him there is no darkness or shadow; no fickleness or change (1 John 1:5; James 1:17).

Loved in Christ for the New Year
Now, where Christ’s Spirit is, He will bring men from their altitudes and excellencies, and make them to stoop to serve the church, and account it an honour to be an instrument to do good. Christ was content to be accounted, not only a servant of God, but of the church. ~ Richard Sibbes, VolumeContinue reading “Loved in Christ for the New Year”
Is Christianity Practical?
This is by far the best run-on sentence I have read in a long time. Enjoy! The tendency of the present day is to lay stress on what is regarded as “practical;” that is, what is thought to exert an immediate and powerful influence on man’s character and conduct. The doctrine of Scriptures, the revelationContinue reading “Is Christianity Practical?”
Fixed on Christ for the New Year
If Christ had prioritized His own things, where would our salvation be? Christ was content to leave heaven, and to take our nature upon Him, to be Emmanuel, God with us, that we might be with God for ever in heaven. He was content, not only to leave heaven, but to be born in theContinue reading “Fixed on Christ for the New Year”
