For Lord’s Day, February 16, 2014 Dear Saints, Tomorrow we will be reminded that, “hitherto hath the Lord helped us” (1 Sam 7:12) and that this is always the case. God has “proved” the Israelites again and again to have them trained and ready for his service and their survival. The names of Moses’ sons […]
For Lord’s Day, February 9, 2014 Dear Saints, I recently saw two videos providing amazing examples of not murmuring against God over difficult providences. It was a humbling reminder of what Christ preached to us last week in Exodus 16:1-17:7 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-12. First, the story of Zion Isaiah Blick. He was born this […]

I pointed out that too many Protestant Evangelicals today live out the Roman Catholic caricature; that is, sinful living and neglect of good works will be the […]
For Lord’s Day, December 21, 2013 Dear Saints, As most of you are likely well aware by now, Phil Robertson — the patriarch of A&E’s Cable program “Duck Dynasty”, has been suspended from the program indefinitely because of his “coarse” remarks against homosexuality. It is the latest talk show controversy fodder. I have never seen […]
