Who is worthy or holy enough to gaze upon the face of a holy God? Who is worthy to approach His throne? Over recent months I keep running across the theme of God's holiness and God's glory in books, quotes; and in Scripture which seems to suddenly jump out at me. It began with a quote from Warren Wiersbe: There is … [Read more...]

God is Desiring Israel
God is Desiring Israel - I cheekily chose the title as a play on John Piper's Desiring God. God desires to redeem the nation Israel. Moreover, He will do so for His name's sake. God is Desiring Israel to be saved. He has said as much. I've profited from various articles on John Piper's website. I own three of his … [Read more...]

The Sun of Righteousness
"My name, The Sun of Righteousness, shall arise with healing in His wings." One could easily skim over this verse from Malachi and read Son, instead of Sun. But the Hebrew word shemesh means Sun.

The Lordship Salvation Issue
The Lordship Salvation Issue is surely one of those many topics where the less I say the better. Nevertheless, I do want to say something (with some sense of trepidation). Most of my friends are non-Lordship Salvation. Many are far more informed than I am. In many ways I'm over my head, and would rather avoid … [Read more...]
Reign of the LORD’s Anointed
The Reign of the LORD's Anointed is the sub-title under Psalm 2 in my NASB Bible. It could as easily be titled, "Why do the nations rage?" As we look all around us it's obvious that the nations of the earth are indeed raging against God. We see rebellion in the secular community, and even a rebellious spirit … [Read more...]

Pseudo Ephraem and the Pretrib Rapture
Pseudo Ephraem and the Pretrib Rapture. To P.E. or not to P.E., that is the question! Years ago Grant Jeffrey excitedly announced that he'd found a pre-Darby pretribulational statement in Pseudo Ephraem (P.E.). My eschatological life began as a posttribber. In some ways I'm still wired to be skeptical about … [Read more...]
