Promises of God (230)
  1. The Pastoral Prophet: Meditations on the Book of Jeremiah written by Steve Kruschel is available for preorder through 1517 Publishing. The following is an excerpt.
  2. How we feel is so often conditioned upon what we are experiencing. Faith grabs hold of something outside our experience, something objective and true that is not changed by circumstance.
  3. Is there, or should there be, a Christian response to COVID-19? I think the answer is yes, but not in the sense that Christians have a silver bullet or cure. Christianity and Christians do, however, have something to offer the world in an era of uncertainty. They have the sure promises of Christ.
  4. What the law is powerless to do, Jesus accomplishes for us. Jesus delivers what the law demands.
  5. The promise of Advent is the promise of the lamb slain, who is born and given for us so that we don’t have to fear sin, death, and hell.
  6. While we do not have an answer, we do have a promise. A promise given to us by a God whose one and only Son was himself slaughtered by those terrified of losing their power.
  7. God will not repent. He will not repent of His promises. He will not change His mind regarding His selfless, self-sacrificing, inconceivable love for sinners.
  8. Abraham knew that this was a God who kept his promises.
  9. God does not combat the impending armies of Satan with might and power, but with the weakness of a babe.
  10. The Son of Eve disarmed Satan’s hold on humanity, not with an earthquake, atomic bomb, or brilliant essay, but with his dead body and final words, “It is finished.”
  11. Through the means of grace, Christ grants us a share in all the blessings of this ancient hope.
  12. Jesus gave His disciples the Lord’s Prayer as a gift. It’s really our prayer when you think about it.
