I'm looking at some sheet music my church has for Good Friday to sing a solo. It calls Jesus My Lord, but also calls Him My Love. What do you think about that? Is it too close to the Jesus is my boyfriend type of music? I'm not so sure because it doesn't go on to gush about the love, but...
When Jesus was baptized:
“And the Holy Spirit descended on Him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’” Luke 3:22
When we are baptized:
"...for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with...
Genesis 2:2-3
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
We aren't told why...
I read something yesterday where a theologian said that self-forgiveness is not possible.
Here is a quote:
Our problem is not a lack of "self forgiveness," but that we never believed that God had forgiven us. That's the issue. We delude ourselves into supposing that God supplied 80% of the...
Law: commands, demands, accuses, curbs, convicts, exposes, condemns, guides
Gospel: gives, forgives, justifies, redeems, saves, motivates, strengthens, encourages, comforts, assures
Are there other verbs you can come up with to describe what Law and Gospel do?
The bible has some people we could label as villains. Do you relate to any of them or their sin? It's hard to be honest about this one and there are times when I read about some of the bad things and think that I probably could have been so selfish to do the same thing.
The amazing thing about salvation being a free gift from God is that even though the Law has demands on mankind in order to receive salvation, it's actually God giving us all that the Law requires to make it so.
Good works are not ‘building blocks’ in the ‘progress’ of the christian, they are fruits of the whole, the ‘good tree.'
– Gerhard Forde
Yes! It's not us building ourselves up to gain eternity. We rely on Jesus's death and resurrection for that. Our good works show that we have fruit, not to...
Mark 10:18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
and
Luke 18:19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
Why did Jesus say this?
This quote seems very popular:
Live your faith and it will become real.
I have a problem with that quote because our faith is real because of God's Word and because of Jesus' death on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. Nothing I do or say will make forgiveness and eternal life more...

1/3 of Evangelicals don't believe Jesus is God? That's a horrible outcome and is showing that people are straying from Christianity while...
(I'm not saying whether WE should wear masks or not)
I've seen some memes on Facebook declaring that Jesus would wear a mask and some even have cartoons of the mask wearing Jesus. But Jesus would NOT wear a mask. He is God. He cannot get ill with the virus which means He can't spread the virus...
Isaiah 60:2 For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.
Mark 15:33 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
Why was there darkness when Jesus was on the...
