To be preoccupied with getting theological knowledge as an end in itself, to approach Bible study with no higher a motive than a desire to know all the answers, is the direct route to a state of self-satisfied self-deception. We need to guard our hearts against such an attitude, and pray to be kept from it. There can be no spiritual health without doctrinal knowledge; but it is...

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is…

A Case For Bromance
blakebaggott:
As funny as the title of this post is, this is going to be a fairly serious matter of discussion. Earlier last semester, one of my professors was talking about male friendships and how guys have a disadvantage in society. It really made me start to think.
Why is it that if guys become really close friend, start hanging out, talking to each other about life, and simply being free...

How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, Hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow.
The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to Thee alone; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob Thee of Thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for...

A few words on Theology
aplaceforboldness:
Let me say a few things about the topic of theology. (the study of God)
There are numerous voices today that would guide you this or that way concerning the study of theology, or theology in general.
I present these statements as starting points, where we (Christians) can hopefully all agree:
Theology should orbit around Jesus Christ. What is the end of good...

– Martin Luther (via drquote)
“One of the common objections to the Christian view of salvation, especially in its Reformed expression, is that salvation by grace alone through faith alone leads to moral license. If we can’t earn one tiny iota of deliverance from sin by our good works, then why do good at all?
The Heidelberg Catechism gives five reasons why those in Christ must still do good.
First, we do good because the...

Seriously it’s like every damn day I again and again prove how I overwhelmingly deserve the hottest flames of hell. Yet the Lord is so gracious as to forgive me, the chief of sinners. It’s not fair.
Why does He not strike me down right now for my sin, and throw me into the pit I belong in?
Why does He instead, bear my iniquity, burn for me, and then crown me with glory and...
