This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Have You Been Born Again? The Pursuit of Purity, Part 6
We ought to be careful of our own souls to keep them pure (First John 5:18). We ought to avoid sin and everything that tends to it. We ought to be careful about the company we keep. We ought to know that wicked communications corrupts the heart. We ought also to know that evil is more catching than good. Evil is like an infectious disease. That is, it is catchy. We ought to be mindful of the use of our time. We ought to make our time meaningful while we live in this corrupt world. We ought to desire to live as a soldier in enemy territory. We ought to wear our armor often and watch for temptation. We ought to be humble and watchful. We ought to be a praying people. Would Jesus say you are born again? Have you been born again? Let us keep ourselves pure through abstaining from sin and repenting over sin. Amen.
