Who we Are Instead

The world loves to lay hold of the dictionary and determine the definitions. Politics, religion, faith, male, female, truth, lies.... and more. I prefer the old, unchanging definitions. I prefer reality.

A Face to Gladden the Heart

A Face to Gladden the Heart - Sermo Humilis

You and I are the image of God. In sin, and outside of Christ, we are like a slowly fading photograph that will one day perish. In Christ, we are born again. We have passed from death to life, and as we stand unveiled before Him each Lord's day, our faces are being sculpted and … [Read more...] about A Face to Gladden the Heart

A Man Called John

Happy to be loved - Sermo Humilis

While Peter was a married man and probably among the oldest of the disciples, John was likely only a teenager.

The Testimony of Jesus Christ - Sermo Humilis

Jesus came into this world to bring life to people who were dead. Being dead in this sense does not mean that you can't walk around. Being dead means you can't see. And, apart from God's intervention, man is dead in his trespasses and sins. Blind, dead and under … [Read more...] about The Testimony of Jesus Christ

The Idols of Jonah

The Idols of Jonah - Sermo Humilis

It has been said that if you want to know what someone's idol is, you don't ask them what they love most. Instead, you ask them what their worst nightmare is. What is it that, if taken away, would make you say, “I wish I were dead”? Jonah was a bible believing prophet who saw … [Read more...] about The Idols of Jonah
