We are often our most arrogant when defending our own humility.  What made me think of that little thought is the various translations of 1 Timothy 1:13. The NASB reads, “violent aggressor” which suggests at least in my mind, physical and bodily force. However the HCSB and ESV read quite differently: arrogant man  (HCSB) and […]

The Gospel is not just words, parables, philosophies, or platitudes; although the gospel is told in all those forms. The gospel is flesh (John 1:14; Titus 2:11-14), lived in the flesh, suffered and triumphed in the flesh; the purpose to be ultimately imitated by us in our flesh. That is the real transforming power of […]

Most men within history are famous for what they did. The annals of time record their accomplishments, heroics, inventions, or possibly their words. Seldom is someone remembered for what they did not do, and yet that is exactly why we remember Enoch. What didn’t Enoch do?

Yesterday was not a good day. Exhausted from a gospel meeting the previous week, I slept late that morning. Then working late to make up for the lost time, I didn’t get home until after 8:00 PM. My two daughters had left for a Bible Study and sleep over. Didn’t get to see them all […]
