God’s Sovereignty in Scripture

For some time now I have been arguing that God is in control of all activity in existence, both on the human level and in the world at large.

‘Reformation: A World in Turmoil’ by Andrew Atherstone (book review)

Being Held by God

Sometimes, life can be a real struggle. I know that I spent many years searching for peace, as I have reflected upon in my book The Philosophy of a Mad Man which is all about spiritual seeking.

A Perspective on Sin

While browsing through posts from Christians on WordPress I stumbled upon this insightful video (embedded below). It features the reading of a text called ‘The Curtain Sinner’ by the Puritan Thomas Watson. The text is about sin and the difference between sin in a godly person and sin in an ungodly person.
