Other Truths That Faith Sees

We are saved by faith, but faith is not our Saviour. Christ alone is our salvation. What faith does is that it sees and grasps precious gospel truths. For example, faith sees that Christ in His perfect righteousness lived on our behalf as our substitute. Faith sees him obeying His Father unswervingly. Faith sees Him delighting to render perfect submission to the will of God as if He were us.

Signs We’d Like To See In Church

Driving down the highway, whether paved or Internet, I often see signs that I think might “preach” to God’s people. Here are three.

Of Christian Foundations

Are there apostles today? Do they have the same authority as first century apostles? Are their “words” binding on today’s church? Questions being debated throughout the church. Here are my conclusions.

Basilica Minore Del Santo Nino

Cebu’s historical Basilica Minore del Santo Nino is the oldest Catholic Church in Cebu. Located at the heart of downtown Cebu, the Basilica is a house of prayer and pilgrimage to hundreds of thousands of people each year.

Visions Of Saint Mary Magdalene De Pazzi

One day, while praying in the garden of the Convent with the other religious, Saint Mary Magdalene de Pazzi became enraptured in ecstasy and saw before her the pits of Purgatory opening. She later shared that she heard a voice, beckoning her to follow and witness the pain, the Poor Souls in Purgatory had to endure.

The UN Showdown in the Plan of God

Christian Community And The Way Of Life

If you want to become a part of the Christian community you need to first understand the basics of Christianity. You may be wondering as to how to start on the new path to become a true Christian.

Our Need of the Sin Bearer

Our greatest need is for a sin-bearer. If you are caught in the trap of looking to your faith to save you then you have no Saviour. Our faith cannot be our sin-bearer: it is too weak and incomplete. Faith can neither take away the guilt of sin nor accomplish a wrath offering for sin. Faith cannot pay the penalty of sin, it cannot wash away the accusing guilt of sin nor can it provide, in itself, the righteousness we need.

Faith Is Not Our Foundation

Faith is not the foundation of our salvation, rather it brings us to that foundation and keeps us there grounded and settled. It’s so easy for the best of us to be moved away from the hope of the gospel. This is why the gospel driven believer delights to continually hear the gospel for he knows that, by nature, he is a subjectivist who will stray from finished work truth at the first given opportunity. We, all of us, tend to gravitate back to our default mode of Law and moralistic thinking.
