You Are Not a Self-Made Christian: The Power of Your Position in Christ

Ephesians 2:5–7 | A Reflection on Grace, Identity, and Eternal Significance Have you ever met someone who really wants you to know how far they've come? Maybe it’s the “self-made” story—born in hardship, clawed their way to success, and now wearing their journey like a medal. Charles Dickens gave us one of those in Hard Times : Mr. Bounderby. He brags that he was “born in a ditch, sir—a ditch!” and delights in retelling how he made it without anyone’s help. We kind of love that story in the West, don’t we? It’s wired into our DNA. But when we open the book of Ephesians, the story takes a turn. It’s not about self-made glory anymore. It’s about something even better: You’re not self-made. You’re Christ-made. From Grave to Glory Ephesians 2 shows us a dramatic before-and-after picture of the believer: Dead in sin. Raised with Christ. Seated with Him in heavenly places. This is more than metaphor. Paul is talking about something deeply real and profoundly spirit...

Omniscience

O LORD, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. Psalm 138:1-4 The thought that God knows all things is likely quite familiar. After all, if He is God, it stands to reason that He alone has the capacity to know all things. There is no twist ending to a movie, nor a mystery that God needs to untangle…he knows it all. But the focus of this passage is personal. David takes great comfort in knowing that God knows more than just his actions…but God knows everything that David will think – and long before David thinks it. God knows where he will go, and God knows exactly what David is going to say…long before he says it. Two points…God knew everything you would think, say, and do long before He...

Questions about Counselors

We received the following important question: Do you think it is a sin to see a counselor? If I need help to find ways to deal with my stress and I think a counselor would help is that wrong? RESPONSE: Prov. 11:14 - Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. There is no doubt that it is not a sin to seek a counselor. Quite to the opposite you should see as many counselors as you can! The question that you want to be asking is what kind of counselor should you be seeking. Start with the people closest to you who know you and are of a Godly character…friends, parents, other Christian family members. Next, seek the godly leaders of your church who can pray with you and give you godly biblical wisdom. If you are at a point where you think you need professional help you should seek a counselor who is a believer in Jesus Christ. There can be medical and even biological features to stress and anxiety that may need attention…b...
