In the song “The Silence of God,” Andrew Peterson sings:
It’s enough to drive a man crazy, it’ll break a man’s faith
It’s enough to make him wonder, if he’s ever been sane
When… Heaven’s only answer is the silence of God
It’ll shake a man’s timbers when he loses his heart
When he has to remember what broke him apart
When the crying fields are frozen by the silence of God…
What about the times when even followers get lost?
‘Cause we all get lost sometimes.
Martin Scorsese’s new film Silence (2016..

My Father is greater than I.
John 14:28
Morning
My Father is greater than I.

When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven. §My Father and your Father, and . . . My God and your God.

As the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. §The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. §You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Y..

Why Remember?

0 Comment

“One of the primary texts about the importance of remembering God is Deuteronomy 8, which belongs to the larger context of the exodus event. In the face of Israelite slavery in the early chapters of Exodus, the promises God made to Abraham appear threatened (Gen. 15:13–16), resulting in a fundamental question about whether God can deliver His people from Egyptian bondage (Ex. 9:13–16).”

Sometimes I like to ask my boys if God can do anything. By now, they understand enough theology to answer tha..

The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone . . . forever.
Revelation 20:10, NKJVAs a girl growing up in western North Carolina, I loved to hike in the mountains. But whenever I set out, my mother’s admonition, “Watch out for snakes!” would ring in my ears. Although I can remember killing only one snake myself, I was present at various times when snakes were killed by others. Each time I observed a fascinating phenomenon. After the snake was killed, its body invari..

What Is the Regulative Principle of Worship?

0 Comment

The Regulative Principle of Worship holds that we worship God in the manner He has commanded us in His Word. As the Westminster Confession says, “But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by himself, and so limited to his own revealed will, that he may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representations or any other way not prescribed in the Holy Scripture” (21.1).

Why do we exist? This is one ..

Why Do We Give Up on Bible Reading?

0 Comment

So you’ve committed to reading the Bible again this year. Praise God.

Maybe this is something new for you, one of your resolutions for the New Year. Or maybe you’re a seasoned, veteran reader, just hoping to maintain the patterns God has blessed over many years now.

However much or little you have read in the past, though, will not change what’s going to happen soon, probably even sometime in the next week. Maybe it’s happened already. You’ll sit down for your time in the word, spend half a..

Verse”I have prayed for thee.” — lu 22:32
ThoughtHow encouraging is the thought of the Redeemer's never- ceasing intercession for us. When we pray, he pleads for us; and when we are not praying, he is advocating our cause, and by his supplications shielding us from unseen dangers. Notice the word of comfort addressed to Peter-“Simon, Simon, Satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat; but”-what? “But go and pray for yourself.” That would be good advice, but it is not so wri..

If God has not redeemed you, nothing will make you choose God over your sin. If God has chosen you, no scheme of Satan can keep you from choosing him.

Key PassageThen Herod had a secret meeting with the wise men from the east. Herod learned from the wise men the exact time they first saw the star. Then Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem. Herod said to the wise men, “Go and look carefully to find the new baby. When you find the baby, come tell me. Then I can go worship him too.” The wise men heard the king and then left. They saw the same star they had seen in the east. The wise men followed the star. The star went before them until it stoppe..
