Highlights from Charles Wesley’s Poem “Hymn to Christ the Prophet”

Prophet, on earth bestow’d,A Teacher sent from God,Thee we welcome from above;Sent the Father to reveal,Sent to manifest His love,Sent to teach His perfect will. The lesser stars that shone,Till Thy great course begun,With imparted lustre bright,Render’d back their borrow’d ray,Pointing to Thy perfect light,Ushering in Thy glorious day. Ah,…

Trust the Bible Even When you Haven’t Got all the Answers

You’re not going to understand everything the Bible says. Just because it’s an authoritative book doesn’t mean you’re going to understand the whole thing. But just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. We need to come to the Bible as a humble sinner. We need to really…

Providence: Not Deism, Pantheism or Karma

What Must I Do To Be Saved?

May I encourage you to ask the same question of the Lord and of the Christians you come into contact with. When meeting professing Christians, asking them this question— “What must I do to be saved?” is a wonderful way to discern whether someone is of the Lord or not.…

Lifted Up: The Son of Man Revealed in John 8

He reminds us of who he is, and who it is that was lifted up in verse 28, by calling himself the Son of Man. The Son of Man, as we remind ourselves regularly, is that one on whom the Father, the Ancient of Days, placed all his authority, all…

Come to Jesus and You Will Not Be Condemned

Let’s remember the central teaching of John 8… Jesus is sinless. Jesus is the authoritative judge and writer of the law. Any morality, justice, or ethics done without reference to the Lord Jesus is a waste of time. No, the only right thing is to begin with Jesus. That is…
