What Does It Mean To Glorify God?

Posted on July 24, 2018 by James Williams

Have you ever been in a conversation where everyone seemed to understand a certain phrase except you? You try to figure it out using context clues, but you can’t. You want to ask, but you’re too afraid it’s an elementary question you should know, so you just play along and act like you understand. Christians…

God's attributes, What's God like?, Who is God? Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd Jones

The Warnings and Comforts of God’s Attributes

Posted on July 17, 2018 by James Williams

We continue our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ). Last time, we looked at the existence of God, and this week we’ll study chapter 6, “The Attributes of God’s Absolute Personality.” MLJ begins by making a case for why we need to study God’s attributes. In John 4, Jesus tells…

God's sovereignty, is God in control?, who is in control? is there such thing as fate? does man have freewill?

The Comforting Truth of God’s Sovereignty

Posted on July 3, 2018 by James Williams

Only the bravest people dare to venture outside in the middle of a Texas summer day, the rest of us are either in an air-conditioned building or near water. My kids love to swim, and being inside all day supplies young children abundant energy that needs to be burned if there’s to be any hope…

The Existence and Being of God

Posted on July 3, 2018 by James Williams

We continue our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ). After spending the first few chapters establishing an understanding of the Word of God (revelation, authority), he now moves on to the doctrine of God. Chapter 5 is entitled ‘The Existence and Being of God.’ In all of our thinking, God…

Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd Jones, is the bible authoritative

Does the Bible Claim to be Authoritative?

Posted on May 29, 2018 by James Williams

Most of us don’t like authority. We don’t like to be told what to do or how to do it. Yet, whether we like it or not, authority is a part of life. We will live and work under authority. We have bosses, shareholders, administrations, etc. to whom we work for. We all answer to…

Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd Jones, how can we know god, what's god like, who is god

How Can We Know Anything About God?

Posted on May 15, 2018 by James Williams

Deep in the heart of man is a yearning, something within us that tells us that there’s more to this universe than what we see. It tells us that we are just a small part on a large stage directed by someone or something else. Some call this invisible force ‘fate.’ Others call it ‘the…

Mind, Heart, and Will: Examining the Great Doctrines of the Bible

Posted on May 1, 2018 by James Williams

Doctrine. It’s a bad word among many. It conjures up images of dry, stuffy, arrogant intellectuals who don’t seem to have an ounce of compassion or love in their bodies. One might think of prideful ‘know-it-alls’ who show little signs of spirituality and don’t like to have fun. I’m not saying those type of people…

Is Man Inherently Good?

Posted on April 24, 2018 by James Williams

Something is wrong. Surely we all recognize it. Mass shootings, terrorism, division, racism, nuclear threats, sexual abuse, and on and on the list goes of daily news headlines. What’s going on? The answers will vary depending on your worldview. Some argue that we need better education. Some might argue that people just need opportunity and…

Children Paddling at the Edge of the Ocean: A True and False Knowledge of God

Posted on February 28, 2018 by James Williams

Imagine a little child sitting on the edge of the beach. As the waves come in, the water barely gets to her knees. She feels the water and knows it’s cold. The smell of salt fills her nostrils as she watches the water make its way up the beach, only to be pulled back by…
