The First Adam and the Last Adam
1 Romans 5:16-17 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance…

Be Smart and Innocent
Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” Jesus spoke these words to His disciples as He prepared to send them out to proclaim that The kingdom of God is coming. He warned his disciples of the persecution they…

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

SERVANT LEADER
When you were a child, you were utterly helpless and reliant on your parents. You look to them for sustenance. As a toddler, you were not able to cook or prepare your meals. You were neither able to work nor pay bills. Yet, when something went wrong, you looked to your parents as the authority,…

OUR NEIGHBORS
Luke 10:25-37 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your…

EX-NIHILO – OUT OF NOTHING: GENESIS 1:1-5
Every now and then, I come across a meme mocking apparent Christian logic. One of them goes like this. “Day 1: God created light, Day 4: God created the Sun”. Next to it, it would either be an eye-roll or a laughing with tears emoji as a apparent jab at the apparent impossibility to have light…
