The land of Canaan is typical of heaven. Here Abraham sojourned for a while, though it was not his native place but another’s. It was an idolatrous land; yet here Abraham sojourned by faith, believing that as it was promised, the land would belong to him and his descendants. Abraham wasn’t trusting Christ to take him out of the land, …
Building An Ark For The Saving Of Your Household
In order to be a faithful Christian, each of us must be willing and prepared to stand alone. We will all repeatedly face pressure to violate God’s standards and go along with the crowd. In the workplace, our associates will likely engage in blasphemous speech and immoral activities, and occasionally, they will urge us to join them. At family gatherings …
Anything Not Done In Faith Is Sin
To do something in faith is to do it with an acknowledgment of our dependence on God’s grace and the motive of desiring God’s glory.
The Wrath Of God Is A Fury Of Fire

Justification, Sanctification, & Advancing The Crown Rights Of King Jesus

Antinomianism: How Evangelicalism Defends Its Lawlessness
The “law” which the author references in the beginning of Hebrews 10:1, is not a reference to the Moral Law (the 10 Commandments).

Furthermore, the principles of the Moral Law …
Limited Atonement & 1689 Covenant Theology
Not a single drop of Christ’s blood will ever be found in hell. Likewise, not a single prayer of Christ’s intercession will ever be found to have been wasted on the non-elect. Jesus died to acquire your inheritance, and Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven to make sure you receive …

The Tabernacle, The Mercy Seat, & 1689 Federalism
The Tabernacle (and later the Temple) was constructed under the direction of Moses, according to the detailed instructions he received from God on Mount Sinia (or Mount Horeb).
