Reflections On Shepherd’s Conference 2023

Titus and I attended the annual Shepherds Conference at the beginning of March this year, and as always, it was highly fruitful and left us with many things to discuss. The first of which is fellowship. The first day of the conference always starts the same way, with cars filling the parking lot and standingContinue reading “Reflections On Shepherd’s Conference 2023”

Redeemed or Condemned

‘There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” – Romans 8:1 When I evangelize to people, I often ask them where they go when they die, heaven or hell. Another way to put it is, “do you stand redeemed or condemned?” What an interesting question to start a conversation. RomansContinue reading “Redeemed or Condemned”

Daily Pardon

It has been a while since I posted from Richard Baxter’s “Truths about God’s Grace”, so I thought I would begin with his twelfth truth on the list. “The best of us need pardon daily, even for the faults in performance of their holiest duties, and must daily live in reliance on Christ for thatContinue reading “Daily Pardon”

Proclaim and Offer

“God commissioned His ministers to proclaim and offer this covenant of grace to all people, and to earnestly entreat them to accept it and be reconciled to Him; no one is excluded.” Richard Baxter “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches onContinue reading “Proclaim and Offer”

I Will In No Wise Cast Out

“No one who accepts this offer is damned, but only those who refuse it to the last breath.” John 6:37 – Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. What an amazing verse! The truth of this verse should bringContinue reading “I Will In No Wise Cast Out”

The Precondition of Our Pardon

4. “The precondition of our pardon and life is not that we never sin or that by any price we purchase them of God or acquire them by works valued by God or by any payment for His grace. Rather, it is only that we believe Him and willingly receive the mercy He freely givesContinue reading “The Precondition of Our Pardon”

His Merits, Not Ours

“Upon His own merits, Christ has enacted a law—or covenant—of grace, forgiving all sin and freely giving everlasting life to all who will believe and accept it, so that all their sins are continually pardoned by the terms of this covenant.” The fact of the matter is, that the forgiving of our sins has alwaysContinue reading “His Merits, Not Ours”

Paid in Full

2. “Christ freely became human and paid fully for the sins of the world as He intended, so fully that none shall perish for any insufficiency in His sacrifice and merits.” Have you ever stopped and meditated on Christ, the Incarnate Speech of God, becoming man and fully paying for the sins of His people.Continue reading “Paid in Full”

A Month of Wisdom From Richard Baxter

During the month of April, I had the pleasure of reading “Depression, Anxiety, and the Christian Life: Practical Wisdom from Richard Baxter.” There have been many impactful bits of wisdom, but none more than the thirty-one “Truths about God’s Grace.” It is the beginning of May 2022, and I thought that I would list oneContinue reading “A Month of Wisdom From Richard Baxter”

Fan Into the Flame (Kindle Anew)

I am certain that most of us have witnessed a campfire or a fire in a fireplace at some time in our lives. The beauty of fire is something to be considered. It produces light, sound, and a distinct smell. Sitting around many fires, I have witnessed these very things. But I have also witnessedContinue reading “Fan Into the Flame (Kindle Anew)”
