The only one rightful heir of the kingdom of God, inherits from us, our cross, and descends into the kingdom of the damned.

Christ strikes a blow first against the presumption of those who would storm their way into heaven by their good works.

This opening section of Ephesians is a virtual treasure trove of gospel promises, praising God for who He is and the abundant blessings He pours out upon His saints.
07/03/21

Our leaders, our pastors, our priests, our teachers, all have feet of clay, just as leaders in Israel did. We do not put our faith in them, even in the ones—perhaps *especially* the ones—in whom we are inclined to have great expectations. They preach the Messiah but are not the Messiah.
06/27/21
