Lot’s of good wisdom in this post. I love the description. His Law is the instructor that divides the presuppositions in the heart. It cuts through self-righteousness. So easy to fall into the trap of just doing Good works, the Heidelberg Catechism speaks to that. Lord’s Day 33 91 Q. A. What are good works?… Continue reading The Keys to Biblical Evangelism

A Good Sermon
If you need a digression here is the recent sermon I mention, be interested in your take on it. I found it one of the best in explaining not only the catechism but the Bible text. Small church actually meets at Concord/Clayton line. Not into numbers, but surprisingly has grown since I first met the… Continue reading A Good Sermon

What is Truth?
Good thoughts. Earlier Jesus said much the same….
Joh 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to…
