I am now uploading short videos working through “Words of Wisdom in Mark”; I plan to release one 10-12 minute video each weekday, doing consecutive lessons. View the first one here: https://youtu.be/5NEYS40xTj0

Are you prepared?
The coronavirus known as COVID-19 is causing widespread fear – well-nigh to panic in some places – causing people to empty shelves of hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and canned goods. A certain amount of caution in light of this dangerous illness is prudent, and preparing for emergencies is generally a wise course of action. […]
A Better “Coming Out”
Today some of the lost are observing “National Coming Out Day,” celebrating sin and godless self-expression which is patently condemned by God’s Word (e.g. Rom. 1:24-32; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; 1 Tim. 1:10, etc.) Although they think that this is freedom, in reality it is an insidious form of spiritual bondage – like every other type […]
Believing & not merely seeking – A retro-post by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“. . . [T]he seeker after Christ remains disobedient to the great command of the gospel. If he were obedient to the great gospel precept, he would at once cease to be a seeker, and become a happy finder. What is the command of the gospel? ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt […]
Authentic Thanksgiving
“But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you […]

Missionary Material (A Retro-post by C.H. Spurgeon)
“The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing […]
When Darkness Falls
Today the United States is seized by eclipse-mania, as millions of people across the nation don odd-looking spectacles to observe a rarely glimpsed solar eclipse. Many are traveling large distances to get the best vantage point for the complete – or in some cases near complete – obscuration of the sun. Yet the most dramatic […]
Danse Macabre
The timeworn, cynically homespun adage has it that there is nothing certain except for “death and taxes.” Nevertheless, modern science continues its relentlessly optimistic quest to abolish death, with tech entrepreneurs funding ever more ambitious schemes to live forever.[1] End-of-life medical care and the funeral industry – multibillion dollar businesses in North America alone – […]
