"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" -I John 1:9Herein lies one of the verses in the Bible that deals with our greatest need as sinners...forgiveness! So how does confession relate to forgiveness?We read about King David in II Samuel in the sad story where he forceably took Uriah's wife, had sex with her, probably

The points listed below come from a website that is a ministry that shares the Gospel with Jewish people. I found this commentary interesting because it looks at the Hebrews 10:26 passage through covenant lenses and pulls the focus away from the individualistic interpretations that make their way into a lot of commentaries now days. Notice the focus on the Covenant Community. Hope you find it

I found a really good sermon on the Unpardonable Sin which seems to be a popular topic right now. It came from an Anglican pastor and it’s really good. He emphasizes the depth and darkness of this sin for those who think it can be accidentally unwittingly committed, but more importantly he emphasizes the riches of God’s grace and mercy over even the worst of sins. Here is an excerpt:“Whereto

This is one of the hardest passages in Scripture to interpret and it has caused many a conscience to shake in fear they have passed the point of no repentance, i.e. John Bunyan (read Grace Abounding). One thing I noticed recently while reading through this chapter was the verse that followed this very serious warning to Christians (that’s who the book was written to, right?). Verse 7-8 state “

A couple of days ago it came a really bad storm in our city. It was lightning and thundering and the wind was blowing really hard. We have been teaching our 20 month old son to say “back!” to things that were bothering him, such as the dog or the waves in the swimming pool. Well, when the storm really got going he looked out the window and put up his hand, and with the most serious look on his

...And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them." -John 18:5John in his gospel has a strong theme running through his book, and it's a scary one. It's a theme of those who close their eyes to who Jesus is and step off into a dark hole. There are the Jews who see his miracles and hear his claims, and then crucify an innocent man as a blasphemer. There are the Pharisees who knew the OT

Here is another great post from Spurgeon at the Reformation 21 blog. This one concerns the subject of the unpardonable sin. Spurgeon is great at magnifying God's grace and minimizing man's fallen reasoning.

“They did not ask, 'Where is the LORD, who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness” -Jeremiah 2:6One of the first sins we see God charge his people with is that they are guilty of not seeking him.

I ran across this great paper on the internet that deals with the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit in its RH context. It has some great stuff in it to go with the thought process I'm trying to follow right now. It's kind of long, but worth the read.p.s.

One of the things that stand out from reading the book of Jeremiah is how he addresses their sin. Surprisingly he doesn’t address sin in the same particularly narrow way most of us have been brought up to view it. He deals with the roots of sin whereas we get stuck on the fruit a lot of the time. For example, Jeremiah rebukes Israel for not seeking God (Jer. 2:6), for finding satisfaction in

"Return, O faithless sons; I will heal your faithlessness." (Jeremiah 3:22)I have been praying and thinking really hard about doing a series on what apostasy looks like and using the book of Jeremiah as the basis. The series would look at the different things that make up the sin of apostasy, or backsliding as the Old Testament sometimes calls it. Apostasy isn't a one time sin, it isn't a

Our son, Landon just turned three. To us that is a big gift from God. Landon was born at 23 weeks, which is only about 5-1/2 months into the pregnancy. He only weighed 1 lb and 7 oz and we were not given much hope that he would come home, or have any sort of a normal life. To God's credit he did come home and he has has done far greater than the doctors ever would have dreamed. Because his lungs

"Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity..."(Hebrews 6:1, ESV)One thing that stands out about this warning passage and others in Hebrews the more I read them are the similarities between what the writer is saying and the experience of Israel in the wilderness at Kadesh-Barnea (see here). The writer here in Hebrews 6 is scolding his congregation for their

"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt."

One of the wonderful things about God's grace is that sometimes he uses our sin somehow to ultimately draw us to Himself. Here is a great quote from Imonk that stresses this point:"God is not harsh to reject us, but faithful to love us, through these seasons. He often lets our own persistence in sin become the means of working his grace into us. If we have acquired a taste for sin, we may drink

Ok, I've read a lot more of McKnight's Blog (Jesus Creed) and he has a lot of thought provoking material on there, especially about how he has moved from a Calvinist view of Scripture to, well, something he calls "Post-Calvinism" (read here). This was all thanks to a series of events, the most important being when he was asked to teach through the book of Hebrews at Trinity Evangelical Divinity

I've found a new blog by Scot Mcknight that I've really been enjoying. He has a really good exegesis of the warning passages in Hebrews. It's broken down into four sections which really helps. They are:ExhortationSinBelievers or Not?So What?I'm not sure I agree totally with his "phenominological-true believer" category, and he doesn't subscribe to the Calvinistic view of Hebrews completely, but I

Unfortunately when we sin it often comes with a lot of guilt when we realize how bad we've messed up. This is especially true when there is sexual failure in a Christian's life. Pastor Wilson has a great post here on repentance, forgiveness and how to deal with the guilt in light of Christ's sacrifice.

This is how my family and I see John 3:16 now that we are Presbyterian!For God so loved the world (covenant of redemption) that he gave his one and only Son (propitiatory covenant sacrifice), that whoever believes in Him (puts faith in covenant promises) will not perish (suffer covenant curses) but have eternal life (enjoy covenant blessings).Amen.

Some of the passages in Hebrews are very hard to take in if not read in the right context and with the authors intentions and audience in mind. Here is a paper that looks at the warning passage in Hebrews 6:4-6 in its RH context, which is very helpful.

Here is another quote from Calvin on the subject of voluntary sins vs. sins of ignorance:“Certain men, somewhat more prudent, when they see the teachings of Novatus refuted by the great clarity of Scripture, do not deem every sin unpardonable, but only voluntary transgression of the law, into which one knowingly and willingly falls. Now those who speak thus allow pardon for no sin, except on that

For Christians who strugle with lust, this video is very insightful!...

Matthew Henry states in his commentary on Hebrews:"Sins are errors, and great errors, both in judgment and practice. We greatly err when we sin against God; and who can understand all his errors? They are such errors as leave guilt upon the conscience, not to be washed away but by the blood of Christ."(Go here for the rest of this series)

This puts a new perspective on despair..."But while the unrighteousness and condemnation of all are attested by the law, it does not follow that we are immediately to give up all hope and rush headlong into despair. No doubt, it has some such effect upon the reprobate, but this is owing to their obstinacy. With the children of God the effect is different. The Apostle testifies that the law

Following up on the post about Jesus and Temptation, I’ve made a list of people in the Bible that fell for temptation and “took the bread” (list not exhaustive):Adam and Eve and the fruit (Genesis 3:6)Esau, the bowl of soup and pagan women (Genesis 25:32-34, 26:34-35)Israel and the comforts of Egypt (Numbers 14:2, and several other places)King Saul and the spoil (I Samuel 15:9)King David and

This if from Owen's commentary on Hebrews and he explains more on this subject..."That which he offered for. It was their “errors,” or their sins. The Socinians, some of them, —not for want of under standing, but out of hatred unto the true sacrifice of Christ, —contend from hence that the anniversary sacrifice on the great day of expiation, the principal representation of it, was only for sins

Doug Wilson has a post today that explains in a little better detail more about the subject of ignorance here. In fact he has a whole series on this topic here. He does a lot better job of explaining it than me!

“But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance” – Heb. 9:7The phrase ‘sins of ignorance’ is one that has been very confusing, and has accomplished everything from sparking debate among commentators to causing tender consciences to be shaken. The phrase has been translated many

One reason I created this blog was to work through some of the hard passages on sin mentioned in Scripture. I didn't create it to make a blog that suffered from morbid introspection, but instead one that took an honest look at the text in it's original context. As we all know some of the hardest passages are the ones in Hebrews (6:4, 10:26), I John 5 (sin unto death), and Matthew 12 (

I haven't been able to post anything for the past couple of days because my job requires a week of training, plus all of the Holiday stuff. So if there is anybody out there reading this blog (I hope!), I apologize. I will try to pick back up this weekend.But until then, my wife and I went to a Jim Brickman concert which was very good. He had a guy there by the name of David Klinkenberg that

"Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." - (Hebrews 2:18)Martin Luther wrote on the subject of Jesus understanding our temptations. Someone argued with him that Jesus didn’t understand how it felt to be tempted like we are because He never gave in. Luther replies, "What’s harder, giving in to temptation, or resisting to give in?" Luther's

For those of you who live to find good commentaries, here is a link to Doug Wilson's commentaries on his blog. I like them personally because they're so objective (imagine that from Wilson) and covenantally centered. My favorites are Hebrews and Mark.

"See in the meantime that your faith brings forth obedience, and God in due time will cause it to bring forth peace." -John OwenComing from a Baptistic (Independent) background this passage didn't mean a whole lot to me personally a few years ago. "Peace" was something that came with "getting saved". Preachers would say "Do you remember the day and time you were saved, then you have peace.", or "

“…Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.”This is one of the hardest passages in Scripture to understand or interpret. Piper has an excellent sermon here and Doug Wilson has an excellent post here on this subject. Although I don’t I have the enormous gift of

In I John 5:16 we read this serious passage:"...There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. (ESV)"This is one of the warnings John uses to conclude his first book after giving believers several tests with which to "check" their faith with. The tests he give us include following Christ's commands and not loving the world (ch. 2), not practicing sin and loving one

With this blog I plan first of all to glorify Christ and his completed work on the Cross, mostly from a Reformed perspective. Secondly I hope to struggle with passages that have to do with the Christian walk, Reformed Theology (from a newcomer's perspective), alot about sin, and a couple of things about current issues. Some days it may be a journal of personal struggles, who knows. This blog may
