The Complementariness of the Two Covenants
We must admit our limitations in understanding and appropriating the New Covenant, apart from the grace of God. What Grace is to the New Covenant is what Law is to the Old Covenant. The principles and purposes of God did not change because of the change in covenant. The Law God gave Israel is still […]
Understanding the Law as God’s Ways (not just God’s rules)
There is the Law as a dispensation based on the 613 commandments (not just 10) and there is the Law as God’s ways, which we see throughout the Scriptures. It is this second one that we are focusing on in this message.
Law, Grace & Faith
There is nothing wrong with God’s Law. It reveals the standard of God to man. It clearly expresses the expectation of God to man. However, the right place for the law to be written was not on the tablets of stone, it is the table of your heart and my heart. God’s writing on those […]

And this is not just beginner’s class stuff, it is the very essence of the Christian life. We must never again descend to human philosophy and works; we must allow Christ to live His life freely and fully in us, gratefully living in the New covenant.
Grace and Good works
There is a work resulting from grace The point that is critical for us to raise is that works does not have to be a nullification of grace. We are certain and assured of the fact that God is fully responsible for the New Life we received in Christ Jesus. There is nothing of man […]
The Goodness of God
Do you see how much God has got your back? How infinitely meticulous He is with His care for you? How many times have you been delayed and that was a covert deliverance from an impending danger? He has kept you from the plots of (evil) men and made you invincible to the spells of evildoers. […]
There is no lack in the universe!
Think about that! There is no lack in the universe. Repeat it to yourself seven times. There is no lack in the universe x 7 Lack is a mental creation that defies the wholeness of the universe. This defiance is made possible by the freedom of man to apply his mind to any objective of […]
