Claiming To Be Wise, They Became Foolish

In late November, Cambridge researcher Joshua Heath delivered a disgusting "sermon" at Trinity College, which left many worshipers in shock. I do not have access to his full script. But according to Daily Mail and The Economic Times, Heath suggested that Christ had had a trans body. One of the pieces of the evidence he … Continue reading Claiming To Be Wise, They Became Foolish

Romans 1:17a

It's impossible to overemphasize the significance of Rom 1:16-17. Porter is absolutely right when he claims that Rom 1:16-17 is the "theme for the entire letter" (Porter, Letter to the Romans, 57).

Arrogant Sin of Rejecting Christ

Imagine traveling from Canada to, say, Japan by a paper plane. It is impossible. We need a passenger jet. Even with it, it will take more than ten hours. Imagine then you're flying from Toronto to Tokyo with your friends. One of them--let's call him Tom--however, shows up at the airport with a bag of … Continue reading Arrogant Sin of Rejecting Christ

Welcome | ようこそ

The gospel (εὐαγγέλιον) is the good news for us fallen humanity (both Jews and non-Jews) that Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, died in our place for our sins and was raised again, conquering the power of sin and death, so that whoever believes in him will be freely given forgiveness of sins and a right standing with God for them to have eternal life and everlasting joy. Therefore, we are justified (made right with God) by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Christ alone.
