Thoughts on Scripture and life
for the glory of Jesus Christ
Partakers of the First Resurrection
All the saints who died before the millennium—whether they be OT saints, church age saints, pretribulation saints, or tribulation saints—have a part in the first resurrection.
Running to the Tomb
What about us? In our desire to be respectable, have we forgotten that we are a people purchased by Christ’ blood to be zealous for good deeds (Titus 2:14)? In our thirst to be accepted by the world, have we blunted the sword of the Word (Hebrews 4:12)? In our lust to be admired by the culture, have we edited God?
Reflecting On Death During the Holidays
Surrounded by merry tunes and twinkling lights, the sadness of the season is like a bitter taste that refuses to be undone. Why do cars crush the life out of their passengers? Why do infections invade the heart and the lungs and the brain? Why do college students die with no explicable cause?
Ephesians 2:6 — New Life and True Life
It wouldn't take much to prove Christianity wrong.
Any atheist, any evolutionist, any Jew, any religionist knows it. If I were them, and I were to set out to prove that Jesus, the Bible, Christianity, etc. were all a lie, I would go for the jugular. I would go for the one thing upon which all of Christianity stands, the one thing which validates all other hopes, the one claim of the Bible, about which all other truths orbit.
For if I could show that this one thing, that one doctrine, were not true, it would prove definitively, once and for all, that Jesus Christ and everything associated with Him, was a sham, a myth, a lie.
What is that doctrine? It's not the literal six-day creation. It's not the coming judgment of the world. It's not the existence of miracles. It's not the existence of Satan. It's not hell.
It's the resurrection - the real, literal, bodily, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ.
