How often do the saints of God feel ill equipped to answer those who come against our Lord? How quickly do we become dismayed with feelings of inadequacy, incompetence, and weakness that overcome us when we are opposed by infidels? This is an all-to-often occurrence for the redeemed, but it ought not be.

Biblical sympathy is the ability (not the necessity) to feel what someone else feels as well as the ability to understand how others feel. It is the capacity to feel another person’s feelings, thoughts, or attitudes vicariously, as a distinct and separate person, coming alongside a sufferer for their help and betterment.

A confession without action is of little use. One way we can realize our confession is by meditating on the wonderful benefits that the resurrection bestows upon believers and worshipping God for those benefits.

In this episode, we go over Q103 of the Westminster Larger Catechism. We discuss idolatry and what it means to have no other gods before Jesus Christ.

Three things may give us boldness in prayer. We have a Father to pray to, and the Spirit to help us pray, and an Advocate to present our prayers.

All heresies with respect to the Trinity may be reduced to the one great heresy of mixing the eternal and the temporal.

In this episode, we continue examining the WLC Q7 by studying God's incomprehensibility and omnipresence (1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 139:1-13).

David does not seek these mercies out for others, but for himself only. No man can redeem another, we can only beseech the Lord on their behalf. But, we can certainly ensure that we are united to Christ

A thorough understanding of a list’s contents helps the modern reader apply the immutable doctrines of the text by emboldening the major thrust of the author’s intentions.

The Lord has been at work in my life and has been teaching me many things, of which I hope to share a small bit with you here. God is always at work, really, even when we aren’t aware of it. Over the last bit of my life, however, I have been afforded the kindness of being more aware of it than normal.

Looking ahead to 2024, we pray for the Lord to bless our efforts on the website and the podcast for his glory alone. We ask for your continued prayers for our personal holiness, wisdom, and discernment to write well and write often to the Glory of God!

In this episode, we continue examining the WLC Q7 by studying God's eternality and unchangeableness (Psalm 90:2; James 1:17).

In this episode, we share a sermon manuscript on Matthew 18:12-20 titled The Blessing of Church Discipline.

It is possible to open your Bibles and sing directly out of them, and I believe that is another true, good, and beautiful way of living out the principle of Sola Scriptura.

By placing the story of the lost sheep immediately before verse 15, Matthew shows us that one of the ways that Jesus “goes and gets the lost sheep” is through the church – by sending his people who are not presently straying to go and get those who are presently straying to bring them back into the fold.

In this episode, we continue examining the WLC Q7 by studying two aspects of God's infinity: Blessedness and Perfection (1 Timothy 6:15; Romans 9:5; Nehemiah 9:5).

Because of sin, this first worship service, though instructive for us, is a worship service none of us would want to have been a part of. It’s a worship service gone wrong.

In this episode, we present the idea of God's proprietary rights over all that he has made (Genesis 1:1; Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15; Psalm 130:8; Galatians 4:5; Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:12; Psalm 89:11).
