  • Our Infinite God

    Psalm 147:5

  • God Is Spirit

    John 4:24

    Psalm 18

  • The Meaning of Holiness

    Matthew 6:9–13

  • The Insanity of Luther

    Romans 1:16–17

    God’s demand for holiness is absolute. We have to be holy just as He is holy (Lev. 19:2), and we deserve His wrath when we fail. All men merit this judgment (Rom. 3:23), but in His grace the Father has ...Read More

  • Holiness and Justice

    Leviticus 10:1–3
