It was grace that saved an unworthy sinner, it is grace that will sustain a struggling Christian, and It is grace that will bring a dying saint into glory.

God did not save you to be a child of heaven and then allow you to live as if you were a child of hell.
Child of God, Walk in a manner worthy of your calling!

Feed them scripture, give them Bible and proclaim from the pulpit with all the weight of heavenโs glory โThis is what the Sovereign Lord says!โ
Oh! What a terrible and wonderful thing it is to be a preacher of God.

Preachers!
Donโt come to the pulpit unless you can confidently say โThus says the LORD!โ
Your funny anecdotes, eloquent speeches and personal opinion will not do.
The people of God longs to hear the Word of God.
I think the reason why the church is so attracted to the self-help, motivational, inspirational type of preaching
is because it just canโt accept the fact that
God does things solely for His glory, whether you like it or not.

Dear Society,
Love does not mean tolerance
Intolerance does not mean hatred.
I love my sons but when they misbehave it will not be tolerated.
That doesnโt diminish my love, not one bit.
Likewise, The Church should not apologize for not tolerating sin.

Q: What is the chief end of man?
A: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever

Many who share the gospel are more offensive than the gospel itself.
I fear that unbelievers reject the offensive Christian long before they even have the chance to hear the offensive gospel.
May the offensive gospel be preached by courteous and loving heralds of Christ.
Marraige is first and foremost a sacred covenant before it is a civil right.
The Bible defines what marriage is because God created it and we are not at liberty to tamper with it.
If you want to reinvent it, go, but donโt ever call it marriage.
When a christian asks
โCan God still forgive me?โ
It can be answered with another question.
โCan His mercies ever come to an end?โ
...They are new every morning.

HermeneuTips!
Use clear and plain passages to interpret the less clear passages.
Donโt make a whole theology from an obscure verse. The Bible should be interpreted in light of all it has to say.

I wonder if Paul met privately with Peter before he rebuked him to his face in front of all the believers in Galatia ๐
Now adays you canโt rebuke a false teacher without being branded a pharisee.
Every Lordโs day these three must happen:
1) Sinners evangelized
2) Church edified
3) God glorified
All these take place when the gospel is preached boldly and faithfully.
