Transcribe →Hebrews 6:13-20 - "A Steadfast Anchor"
5d ago00:48:49Tap to summarizeConsider the source of your salvation and your assurance. If our salvation were a cooperative effort between God and man, how could this provide a strong encouragement? Salvation and its assurance would be reduced to "You will not be lost if *you*… If God's promises depended on us, we are without any consolation at all. What we think we have today may vanish tomorrow. Even the chain of salvation is only as strong as its weakest link. Are you one of those links? We can find great comfort in the fact that we are not. Each link is unbreakable because God's promise is unbreakable. Each one is guarded by God's unchanging character, His eternal decree, and His solemn oath. So, look away from yourself. Look away from your heart, from your sins, from your trials, and from your doubts. Look to the High Priest who has once-for-all entered the Most Holy Place and has secured your sonship with the Father.
Transcribe →Hebrews 6:9-12 - "Sure of Better Things"
2w ago00:50:04Tap to summarizeAfter jolting this Hebrew congregation awake with a stern warning, the author is now sure of better things, namely their salvation. The warning operates as intended; it will offend the cowards and apostates and send them out, but it will also strengthen the saints. They can be encouraged by the fruit of the Spirit that they've already evidenced, and now they can double down and press further up and further in. The church of Christ is always at this crossroads. Will we give in to weakness, ease, and complacency? Or will we be spurred on to perseverance? The perseverance that true saints can enjoy is found only by looking to Jesus Christ, and so that is where you must look, Christian. Look to Christ. Walk with Christ. See how the Spirit has united you to Christ. He will guide you along a path He has already walked; a path that takes you back to the Father. An entire cloud of witnesses has already gone there ahead of us, and now we imitate them as they imitated Christ. Push ahead. Inherit what is promised to you.

Transcribe →Hebrews 6:1-8 - "Final Apostasy"
3w ago00:59:42Tap to summarizeGeneral Patton held to a strategy of always advancing the attack. He kept pressing because he said he didn't like paying for the same real estate twice. The author of Hebrews is encouraging the same. If we would close this life with Christ; if we would enter His rest, if we would enjoy assurance, we must not stand still but keep pushing onward. The Lord is severe with traitors like Judas. If we deny Him, He will deny us. But He is patient with us like He was with Peter; if we are faithless He remains faithful. If we stumble and fall, He is rich in mercy and will lift us up and strengthen us again. He will see to it that His children by faith will indeed make it safely home.

Transcribe →Hebrews 5:7-14 - "Milk, Meat, & Maturity"
4w ago00:51:02Tap to summarizeHow long have you been a Christian? Do these admonitions apply to you? What is the condition of your maturity? Do you need someone to go over the basics with you again? Or are you diligently applying the basics, and hungry for more? If you are hungry for more, do you see that holiness is at the centre? Do you study the priesthood of Christ, for example, in order to discern both good and evil? Or are you operating as some kind of doctrine computer? In Scripture, doctrine is practical, and high doctrine is highly practical. Those who neglect doctrine for practice become impractical. Those who neglect practice for the sake of doctrine are unskilled in righteousness. We are never to tear apart what God has joined together.

Transcribe →2 Timothy 1:3-9 - "A Spirit of Power, Love, and Self-Control" (Pentecost Sunday)
May 2400:47:01Tap to summarizeThe same Holy Spirit which appeared at Pentecost is at work today. He has sustained and energized the Christian church through the ages, and He does so still. He provides the power to not be ashamed when the father of lies continues to bring false charges against God's elect. He stirs up the mutual self-giving love among believers. He gives a sound mind and self-control as we pursue our holy calling. As each one of us fans the flame of the gifts of the Spirit, remember that these gifts are always in service of the fruit of the Spirit. He has called us to good works from before the foundation of the world, so get to it in Pentecostal power. No fear. No shame. A holy calling. A sincere faith. Power, love, and self-control. All of it integrated together, knit together in love (Col. 2:2), as the Spirit completes the work He was sent into the world to do.
