The idea of God’s wrath is, while an attribute of God, does not exist in a vacuum, and stems ultimately from the holiness and love of God. It is the holiness and righteousness of God that requires his wrath upon sin and sinners alike.

The Athanasian Creed has been used since the 16th century, when it was written - supposedly by Athanasius of Alexandria - to assist in our understanding of the Trinity. The Creed states:

The following is a sermon manuscript delivered at a Men’s Fellowship on July 15, 2022 at Freedom Church in Dayton, OH.

This is not a new desire of the Psalmist. He is continually asking for the Lord to give him understanding (Psalm 119:27). This repeated request is not vain redundancy, or futile repetition.

Although common grace exists and is glorious, this does not mean that everything that an unbeliever says or does is therefore correct. Sin has so corrupted every single aspect of life that every part of our being is affected by this curse, up to and including our minds.

Common grace is the language we use to describe and understand God and his bountiful kindness on all that he has created.

Often the things that are most painful cause the most growth. Calvin was unceremoniously kicked out of Geneva in 1538, and honestly, he deserved it.

On Saturday June 26th, My family and I went to a yearly festival that is held in a town near where we live. There are bounce houses, firefighters, police officers, and EMS there allowing the kids to look through their trucks, and fight pretend fires.

There are a lot of last things.  Death row inmates get a last meal before execution.  Sometimes people get to say last words before their deaths, but in each of these times there is one thing in common: Usually what is said is very important.  

When Calvin arrived in Geneva the Reformation had just penetrated her walls. William Farel was a gifted speaker who could move a crowd, however, his tone was harsh and his personality abrasive.

Prayer is one of the greatest privileges for Christians. It is a poignant reminder that we are not only set apart as holy by the Lord but that we can come to Him with thanksgiving, issues, concerns, or needs at any moment.

Join us in this episode as we walk through the first paragraph of the Directory for Family Worship and discuss the vitality of personal, family, and corporate prayer in the lives of God's people (Exodus 30:7-10; Psalm 141:2; Luke 1:8-10; Luke 11:1-4)

God has so implanted his law in all men so that all people know what is right and wrong from the start.

The details about the historical context surrounding 1 Corinthians in these paragraphs help the reader understand why Paul devotes so much content to the topics of sexual immorality and idolatry in his epistle.

In this episode, we examine how friendship acts as a fertile soil for planting and watering gospel seeds (John 1:40-51; Acts 17:26).

Today Nick talks about the next step in biblical change. We remember what God has done for us in Christ and this becomes our motivation for all the change we experience. We also talk about some very basic biblical principles about money and how to remain faithful in these days of inflation and a looming recession.

Calvin continued his studies bouncing between Paris and Orleans, and in 1533 experienced a sudden conversion and saw the corruption of the papacy and the Roman Catholic Church.

Those who advocate for continued revelation either do not see how their misled desire for God to continue speaking destroys the canon of scripture, or there is a lack of care in regards to the use and misuse of God’s word.
