Six Characteristics of Union With Christ

Posted on October 18, 2021January 27, 2022 by James Williams

One of the great encouragements of Scripture is that believers are said to be “in Christ.” Not only have we been forgiven and redeemed, we have been united with Christ.

The New Birth: 7 Evidences of Regeneration

Posted on September 20, 2021October 3, 2021 by James Williams

Regeneration is God implanting a new life, a new disposition within us. In that moment, we go from our natural mindset that opposes God to a new spiritual mindset that knows and loves God. Such a change is so drastic, Jesus said it’s like being born again (John 3). A newborn shows signs of life…

He stealthily traveled by night, so as not to be seen. Finally, he arrived and saw the one who had caused so much commotion, the one some called a miracle-worker but who others called the Messiah.

The Effectual Call of the Holy Spirit

Posted on March 15, 2021March 18, 2021 by James Williams

In a previous post, we looked at the general call of the Holy Spirit that goes out to all people. Everyone is given the opportunity to repent and believe the gospel, and Christians are to share the good news to all indiscriminately. So, why do some hear and believe while others hear and reject? We…

‘Do Not Hold Me Back From The Glory’

Posted on March 1, 2021February 28, 2021 by James Williams

He sat in his chair with a noticeable frailty. His suit which normally fit correctly now hung loosely over his weakening body. He reminisced about God’s mercy toward him and sovereign working throughout his life. He rejoiced in his wife of 55 years, still thankful for such a blessing from God. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was in…
