“Speaking the Truth”
“What is worse than speaking the truth? Keeping quiet. God has told His people to speak the truth, to the believers and the unbelievers and to do so boldly. The Apostle Paul and Stephen stood up and gave us an example of how we should stand up and speak truth about the evildoers and that [...]

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as [...]

THE LORD MY HELPER
Octavius Winslow
“The Lord is my portion, says my soul” That is why we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:6
The believer is as helpless in himself as he is portionless in the world; and both [...]
Blessed Reformation Day – Video
R.C. Sproul’s “Reformation Study Bible” and “Reformation Video” is so apropos for today. Share this with your friends and family and as you celebrate our Reformation, remember those who God gave to us who gave their lives so that we could have a Bible in our hands, in our languages, so all could read:

“Kingdom Life” and “Axis of Evil”
“Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.” III John 1:11
Today, as we see evil in our midst in the person of Ahmadinejad, I was reminded of this post from the past. It is good [...]
Elections and the Casting of Lots
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:33
The peace that passes understanding is the knowledge that the Omnipotent, Holy, Righteous and Glorious God is in providential control of all things in heaven and earth. Let the gainsayers, soothsayers, prognosticators and men/women with no knowledge as dust particles [...]
Yes World and Charlie Gibson, God Has A Plan
In light of the ignorance of man as to God’s world and His providential plan and control of it, let us enlighten you:
God Has a Plan
It is unthinkable that a God of infinite wisdom and power would create a world without a definite plan for that world. And because God is thus infinite His plan [...]
We Remember 911
Never Forget…
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made [...]
Reformed Women, Theology Girls on Media
If you spend any time whatsoever watching/listening to the media in any of its forms, you are soon overwhelmed with how biased, unfair, liberal and devilish it is. This is especially so as it pertains to political matters. The recent attack against Sarah Palin (who we and the over 14,000 members of the JoyPals Network [...]

FOR THE UNION OF YOUR PEOPLE
”O Lord, in the morning I will direct my prayer to You.”
“That they all may be one.”—John 17:21
O God, the eternal Fountain of all excellence and glory!—through the one “new and living way” I desire this morning to approach You. Powerless in my own pleadings, I look up to the [...]
Think Before You Teach
“Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers,
for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”
James 3:1
Think Before You Teach
In our Joypals group, we have been studying Carol Ruvolo’s “James on Works” which I would highly recommend for women’s Bible-Book studies. I always enjoy Carol’s studies because she “digs deep” [...]
BB Warfield on Cessation
In reading BB Warfield’s Works, we are sometimes astounded by the error of our day in so many places when compared to the biblical theology of folks like Calvin, Warfield, and other solid biblical Reformers. The folly is exhibited in many pulpits today and the true message is either eliminated or watered down with rhetoric, [...]

“Paul’s letter to the Galatians confronts the “different gospel” that took root in first century Galatia and still entices believers today. He exposes it as a deadly distortion of truth and provides much needed correction. Understanding his teaching is as important today (maybe more so!) as it was then.” _Carol Ruvolo“No Other Gospel” teaches us [...]

“The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds has come, and the voice of the dove is heard in our land.”
Song of Solomon 2:12
The garden–the fields–the meadows and the valleys, smile in renewed beauty. In rich profusion sweet flowers show their lovely heads. In varied hue they charm the eye–with [...]
“The Advent of Jesus Christ”
The Advent of Jesus Christ
Rev. Charles R. Biggs
Dear People of God,
One famous Christmas song gleefully declares: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” That of course means different things to different people. For the Christian, this “most wonderful time of the year” should be a time of celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ [...]
“Only At the Feet of Jesus”
One of my usual clichés when folks are struggling in their faith is “remember to go the feet of Jesus” meaning that everything, without question, we need to humbly submit to Christ, every decision, prayer, emotion, suffering and trial because He is the Sustainer, Protector and Preserver of our life and has given us His [...]

What Is Calvinism? by Benjamin B. Warfield
It is very odd how difficult it seems for some persons to understand just what Calvinism is. And yet the matter itself presents no difficulty whatever. It is capable of being put into a single sentence; and that, on level to every religious man’s comprehension. For Calvinism is [...]

In recent days I have had several notes from shadowy lurkers who come for visits and are opposed to the Scriptural teaching of God’s providence and sovereignty and especially for the true biblical doctrines and thus true religion, i.e., what we term as “Calvinism.” Of course, we know that this age-old battle has raged since [...]
