Woe unto that man who despises “the day of small things” in the Church of Christ, or who despises “the day of small things” in any individual believer, for it is God’s day, it is a day out of which great things will yet come; and therefore he that despises it really despises his Maker’s work, and despises the great and glorious things which are to come out of the small things which are at present…
This past week I have been listening to R.C. Sproul preach on the sermon on the mount and also reading through it with his preaching.

When I’m out on the road speaking, one of the questions that sometimes comes up during a Question and Answer session is: “How you we believe the earth is only 6,000 years old with all the evidence saying otherwise?”
This blog post will be on the topic of redemption and what it looks like. It won’t be an exhaustive dealing with all aspects of redemption obviously. Just two ideas that I was thinking on and wanted to express in writing.
The idea of redemption takes us from enmity with God to amity with God. The scripture and life teach us that we are naturally at enmity with God. God, to the natural man, is…
