    “Abraham the Father of All Who Believe”

    Believers-only baptism meant this to thousands of new Jewish converts to Christianity: as soon as they believed in Christ, their children, members of God’s own treasured people, became unclean, detestable pagans, cut off from God’s covenant promises. And not one of them dared question the apostles; they just sheepishly accepted this horrific fact.

    Aliens, Citizens, and a Holy Temple

    The idea of dividing God’s people into two, the church and Israel, is completely untenable based on this and many other Scripture passages. Jesus even taught that he has two flocks, one Jewish and another Gentile, but he will gather these two flocks, and “there will be one flock, one shepherd” (John 10:16). Therefore, in…

    Our Lord’s Glad News

    Our song of grief in the midst of suffering is to turn into a new song of praise after God pulls us out of the muddy pit. This is why the Psalms often speak of “a new song,” not because the Psalmist composes a new song in place of old, boring songs. But because his…

    God’s True Covenant People Are Not Pretenders

    If Isaiah were alive today, he would call prosperity gospel preachers and most televangelists and megachurch pastors blind, ignorant, useless, greedy and insatiable dogs, just as he called the false shepherds of Israel “silent dogs” who are blind, without knowledge, and who have never enough.

    Our Story

      Beginnings A core group of young people first met for Bible study at our home in Antipolo, Rizal, Philippines on a Saturday afternoon, June 21, 2008, in the midst of a destructive typhoon that hit the Philippines. As the storm was approaching Manila, we had an introduction to our study and a time of…

    The Star and Scepter of God’s People

      A popular Christmas story is that of the coming of the three wise men, or Magi, to worship the baby Jesus born to be our Savior. This story has several parallels—contrasts—to the story of Balak, Balaam and Israel.

  • True Comfort for God’s People (Isaiah 40:1-5)

    True Comfort for God’s People (Isaiah 40:1-5)
