The Supremacy of Christ
The Supremacy of Christ
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church;...

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Creation and Resurrection.
The Creation and the Resurrection were and remain the two major manifestation of the power of God. For it was out of nothing that God created all things, and it was out of death that He raised Jesus Christ.
“21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jesus Christ...
LOVE
”Dear friends, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE comes from God. Everyone who LOVES has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not LOVE does not know God, because God is LOVE. This is how God showed his LOVE among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is LOVE: not that we LOVED God, but that he LOVED us and sent his Son as an atoning...

“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” ― Timothy Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

Grace Abounds
“The gospel of justifying faith means that while Christians are, in themselves still sinful and sinning, yet in Christ, in God’s sight, they are accepted and righteous. So we can say that we are more wicked than we ever dared believe, but more loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared hope — at the very same time. This creates a radical new dynamic for personal growth. It means that the more...

God is more pleased with your obedient preparation and your faithful trust in his sovereignty, even if the outcome is failing [the test, the interview, the application process, etc.]
than he is with disobedient laziness and arrogant self-dependence, even if the outcome is [by the world’s…

changwinston:
It’s a distinctive concern that seems to prevail in Asian-American Christian fellowships:
that the men are pams—passive Asian men.
Or, as I once heard it described in one particularly bad case,
spams—super passive Asian men.
It’s true; I certainly would not enjoy being one to whom a word…

Is this Glorifying to God?
In light of recent events, I feel the burden to write. When it comes to certain activities, some are clearly sinful in nature while others are justifiable at first glance. For example, drinking alcohol is not inherently sinful, but being drunk and the consequences pertaining to it, is. Likewise, this is applied to certain types of activities and places. If we are to lead lives that are “holy...
Watch14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE! beLight
Watch“18 Then Jesus came to them and said, ’All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’”
Matthews 28:18-20

swimmertkesh:
So many people want so much and have such high expectations for a relationship. God wants you to be blessed with a significant other; not disappointed. There are no perfect guys or girls out there and most likely they aren’t going to be able to meet all your expectations and needs. There will be…

Evil doesn’t always look evil, and sin often looks so good—-this is part of what makes it so bad. In order for sin to do its evil work, it must present itself as something that is anything but evil. Life in a fallen world is like attending the ultimate masquerade party. An impatient moment of…

In the face of finals, it’s so easy [for me, at least] to get trapped into that hopeless mindset—

Habakkuk’s Prayer
“17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
