As holy and redeemed people, we are to strive, by God's Grace, to walk in humble dependence upon our great God in prayer, knowing that apart from Him we can do nothing.
As Christians, it's Christmas every day as we remember and relish on the Glorious Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, being mindful that He is, indeed, the Majestic King, in Whom all the nations are to place their confident trust in.
The decision to crucify Jesus is a remarkable event in history that, when closely studied, reveals how even when He was being wrongly tried, God's perfect plan saw Jesus taking our place as our perfect substitute.
Contrary to the current culture of self-promotion and self-exaltation, we seek the Exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ, as we herald the life-saving message of the Gospel, humanity's one and only hope for salvation from sin and from God's just judgment.
Contrary to the current culture of moral relativism and moral autonomy, we believe that the Bible is the very Word of the only One and True God, authoritative, inerrant, infallible, and sufficient for all matters pertaining to man’s purpose for existence, church life, and mission on earth.
In an age where commitment is largely frowned upon, and where comfort, ease, and low expectations are the norm, the Lord Jesus, who died for His Church, calls us as Christians to be highly committed participants rather than passive spectators in a healthy, local church.
Paul's final and parting words to the Philippians are so helpful for us as Christians, as we strive, by God's Grace, to walk in a manner worthy of Christ.
How glorious that as Christians we can sincerely experience joy and contentment in the Christian life, that we might Exalt Christ, and be a source of blessing to our Christian brethren.
It's impossible for Christians to experience true peace, personally and communally, unless right thinking and healthy relationships are being cultivated, by God's grace and for His glory.
In a broken and fallen world, it's important for Christians to fix their eyes on Christ and on heavenly realities in order to not lose heart.
The Christian must, by God's Grace, be cultivating Christlike virtues that will lead to peaceful living in the home, in the church, and in the world.
In the light of our indestructible and unbreakable union in Christ, Christians are to do everything possible to preserve the unity that has been established by our precious King.
Christians who desire to stand firm in the Gospel must apply themselves to cultivating the mindset and lifestyle of those who belong to a Heavenly Kingdom.
Far from wishful thinking, our Christian hope is unwavering, unfading, and will not pass away, because it's rooted in the Person and Finished Work of Christ, our glorious Savior.
Two thousand years ago, in real time and history, the Son of God suffered and died, that those who place their confident trust in Him may have hope.
In the triumphal entry of our Lord, we behold both majesty and meekness, that we may worship Him and ascribe to Him the praise that is due His Name.
Standing Firm in the Gospel consists not only in putting off our former manner of life, but also in pursuing Christ and Christlikeness with all of our being.
Mark presents for us the answer to the true problem of sin - he presents to us Jesus Christ, who forgives sins.
In stark contrast to our dark former life, as Christians we now have immeasurable blessings because of our union with Christ.
Christians who stand firm in the Gospel shun self-reliance, and strive to locate their sufficiency in Christ alone, not only at their conversion, but also in their ongoing sanctification.
