I've never identified myself as a leader. I've never seen the need to step up and to take charge, long enough for it to have a permanent effect on my life. Well, I would probably know. I'd probably relate something; I mean, it's not like I never led anything before, it's just that nothing really... Continue Reading →
No Strings Attached by Andrew Farley, Take 2
In the process of finishing my article on the Freedom we have in Christ, or rather how Christ Himself is our actual freedom, I've seen the need to listen to some of the resources I've exposed myself to prior continuing what I've started.

No Strings Attached by Andrew Farley
We've seen a lot of deals and promotions that sound so good at first.. Free 30 Day Trials, You've Won A Raffle, etc. We seem to be used to this sort of thing to the point that we are immediately wary of any 'strings' attached to any sweet deal. We keep asking, 'What's the catch?';... Continue Reading →
A Clarification (Or, My Words From The Words I Just Listened To)
The Gospel says that the Law is good, yet the perfect standards which the Law presents point out our sin.

There are opponents to the Gospel, and in 2 Peter, the apostle aims to address them, to shoot them down.

It is because of this that Peter assures the reader... Continue Reading →

Notes from Suffering, the Spirit, and Other Concerns (Part 3) by Andrew Farley
What is your response to Martin Luther: 'We are more wicked than we will ever know, but more loved than we ever dare dream.' Does God love sin? Does God love wickedness? In salvation we are changed from wickedness to the righteousness of God in Christ; He put wickedness on the cross and it... Continue Reading →
Suffering, the Spirit, and Other Concerns – Part 2 by Andrew Farley
'What are we to do with our sins that do so easily beset us?' We have to get to the point where we say that God is right. And God is right about the fact that we are forgiven people. God is right to have forgiven us and we have to agree with Him. 'I... Continue Reading →
