Abraham’s Faith: The Sacrifice of Isaac and Its Typology
The story of Abraham trusting God to the point of being willing to sacrifice his son Isaac is one that shows the great faith of Abraham, it is perhaps the greatest show of faith and trust in God in the entire Old Testament. But it goes much deeper than that, this might be the most profound and extended prefiguring of Christ in the entire Old Testament. The typology is amazing, and I think sometimes it…

He saw a fig tree in the distance with leaves on it, so he walked up to it to see if there were figs on the tree. When he saw there were no figs he cursed the tree, saying “may no…

Video: ‘How I Explain the Gospel’
In this nine minute video Wes Huff explains the good news, and the concepts of justice, mercy, and grace. My favorite part is when he talks about the survival of the fittest, and then says Christianity is the opposite because “the fittest steps down and sacrifices himself for the weakest.” If you enjoyed this content please scroll down and comment, subscribe, and share!

The first post was entitled “Why Do You Call Me Good?” and it…

Something from Nothing, How Powerful is Our God!?
What is nothing? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition is A: something that does not exist, and B: the absence of all magnitude or quantity. Okay, that seems simple enough. As Christians we believe that God made everything out of nothing, but have you ever stopped to think about what that really means? Have you ever thought about how powerful that makes our God? It is actually beyond our capability to understand. I think I’m about to…

How great the chasm that lay between us.
How high the mountain I could not climb.
In desperation, I turned to heaven,
And spoke Your name into the night.
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness,
Tore through the shadows of my soul
