Enslaved by sin

tjbrown7

Her heart ensnares those who pass her; and if she but join hand to hand, she holds one as securely as though she dragged him on bound with chains. And from her you can secure your deliverance only by finding a propitious and watchful superintendent in God; for he who is enslaved by sin cannot (otherwise) escape its grasp. Moreover, among all women I sought for the chastity proper to them, and I found it in none. Gregory Thaumaturgus. 1886. “A Metaphrase of the Book of Ecclesiastes.” In Fathers of the Third Century: Gregory Thaumaturgus, Dionysius the Great, Julius Africanus, … Continue reading Enslaved by sin

He shall and has and is

tjbrown7

Jesus is the promised light to the nations, as predicted in Isaiah 49:6. He is God’s salvation to the ends of the earth. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Kings and kingdoms have passed away and will continue to pass away, but there is something eternally enduring about that name. Trust in the One who is and has always been our predicted light and the salvation of the world. The only thing that separates man from a healthy relationship with God is sin! Go to Jesus….

God’s anger is different

tjbrown7

Inspired by Novatian from 245 AD and a quick summary of Novatian’s thoughts on God’s anger. He makes a distinction between us and God on the issue of anger and warns us to be careful not to falsely equivocate the two. It shows that Christians of all ages have had similar struggles with various unpleasant aspects of God’s anger and yet found ways to think about it and rationally decide to trust God as opposed to not. Trust Jesus over whatever it is you are trusting over Him! He is more worthy of your trust than the others or even … Continue reading God’s anger is different
