Admittedly, I have no idea what Samson was like. But in Judges 16, he does not come off as the sharpest tool in the shed. What’s more he has the age-old sinful vice that so many men have, the desire for a woman at any cost. In verse 1, Samson “went in [...]

I know, you’re probably wondering I will be switching gears. But I must admit, there are times when I will be doing the most random thing and then a thought of Brian will come into my mind. Tonight we had California Rolls (Shua makes it so that we actually wrap our own rolls [...]

Octavius Winslow was a pastor from New York in 1833. He was a popular speaker who preached at the opening of Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle. I love this quote of his as he says so simply what we gain in Christ our Savior:
It is astonishing that I should so be one with Christ, that [...]

Most people I know have a deep aversion to talk about hell. But you want to know the real shocker? Most people I know also have a deep aversion to talk about heaven as well. Now I am not talking about heaven in some sort of ethereal, almost comical way where angels [...]

I was reading in Joshua 18-19 Israel’s allotment of land from the Lord. Of course, previous to this is Joshua’s conquest of the land, a removal of those who inhabited that land before the Israelites. The concept of land ownership is an indelible theme throughout the Bible, especially in regard to Israel. [...]

In reading Spurgeon’s sermon entitled, “The Glorious Gospel,” I found these words to be a treasure for my heart as I weighed the depth of my own sinfulness:
And my only reason at this hour for believing Jesus Christ is my Redeemer is just this:â€â€I know that I am a sinner: this I feel, and over [...]

I love Caleb’s boldness and love for God’s glory. It’s the main reason we gave our first (and only) son Jack the middle name Caleb. My hope for Jack is that if he is ever given insurmountable odds, and a choice to choose to trust God or trust anyone else, he will quickly [...]

According to John Owen, there are these terrible effects of sin (John Owen, The Mortification of Sin, 72-75):
1. Sin leads to eternal destruction.
2. Sin grieves the Holy and blessed Spirit.
3. Sin causes Jesus to be wounded afresh by it.
4. Sin takes away a man’s usefulness in his generation.
There is nothing, nothing at all worse in this world than [...]

The story of the Gibeonites in Joshua 9 is an interesting one because it’s hard to figure out who is honoring God. Joshua and the leaders failed to take counsel from the Lord about these people (v. 14), and surely not consulting the Lord was a tenuous act. One has to feel for [...]

Thomas Chalmers was the Scottish theologian, pastor, preacher, leader of the Free Church in Scotland whose words still must be heard today. For one thing, I love the way Chalmers puts our hope in the meritorious righteousness of Christ. He writes in his introduction to Abraham Booth’s The Reign of Grace from its [...]
