“If atheism is true, we exist to no purpose. Everything will perish in the heat-death of the universe. But if there is a God who exists, then that provides grounds for thinking that he has created the world for a reason. And on Christian theism, it’s for the reason that we can know God personally and be in relationship with him. The fulfillment of human existence is found in relation to God.”

Blind Faith vs. Biblical Faith

Blind Faith vs. Biblical Faith

Christ is like Adam, who was a type of Christ - both are the representative heads of an old and a new humanity. God imputes the failure of Adam to his humanity, and God imputes the success of Christ to His humanity, because of how these two humanities are united to their respective heads. The great superiority of Christ is that He not only succeeds in obeying perfectly, but does so in such a way that millions of people are counted righteous because of His obedience. Are you only connected to Adam? Are you only a part of the first humanity bound for death? Or are you also connected to Christ and part of the new humanity bound for eternal life?

“These are precious words for sinners like you and me:
The grace is free, the gift is free, the righteousness of Christ is free.

The question is: Will we receive it as the hope and treasure of our lives?”

“God did not just overcome evil at the Cross.

He made evil serve the overcoming of evil.

He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.”

It is possible to be present at every church program and service, yet be starving spiritually. Learn to feed yourself.

The Trouble With Faith

"See, like this. I'm smiling at you even though you're aggravating me."

Effie: Just remember, Katniss, you want the audience to like you.
Katniss: And you don't think they will?
Effie: Not if you glare at them the entire time. Why don't you save that for the arena? Instead, think of yourself among friends.
Katniss: They're betting on how long I'll live! They're not my friends!
Effie: Well, try and pretend! See, like this. I'm smiling at you even though you're aggravating me.

I am posting this as a reminder to myself, which is why I had it queued (I am writing this at 05/22/12).

Despite “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” being my favorite hymn, I forget its message so easily. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Focus on Christ. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Creation sings, “How Great is Our God”

I watched this video sometime last year. I thought of it again tonight, and wanted to share it. Truly, our God is great. Actually, that’s an understatement. He is awesome, excellent, majestic, glorious, radiant, wonderful, marvelous, stunning, amazing, breathtaking, incredible, remarkable; He is righteous, holy, pure, just; and at the same time He is merciful, loving, gracious, tender, kind, forgiving, compassionate, altruistic…

How great is our God.
