“In 1851, a German philosopher named Arthur Schopenhauer described the exact structure that modern dating just dismantled, and laid out in precise detail what would break when it came apart . . . He was not a prophet. He was an engineer reading a blueprint, naming the load-bearing walls and…

We need to understand that God’s mercy does not negate the consequences of our sin in this fallen world. A person who drove their car DUI and killed someone can repent and find God’s mercy but there will still be serious consequences. Hezekiah was one of the most godly, rightous…

John MacArthur has a masterful exposition here of the wrath of God that is presented in Romans 1:18-32. It is the wrath of abandonment that God exercises by taking his hand off a culture and letting them go their own way. At the age of 73 now, I agree with…

Mankind was created sinless by God in his image (Gen 1) but fell into sin and rebelled against God (Gen 3). Sin infects everyone and separates us from God (Rom 3:23), leaving us completely unable to earn merit in God’s sight by good works of our own (Gal 2:16). Jesus…
