Dr. Kevin DeYoung | The Garbage Man and the Forgiveness of Sin

Tomorrow is a great day at the DeYoung house, because Monday is garbage day. We have a lot of garbage. When you add recycling, we have two of those big bins for garbage and three for recycling. So, when it’s all there and lined up, five huge bins. Five! God bless the garbage man. He…

Dr. Kevin DeYoung | The Impossible High Jump

In Philippians 3, we are found in Christ with a righteousness not our own, but one that comes through faith in Christ. Here’s an analogy. I think I gave this a few years ago. I’ll do it quickly, but it helps me think about this. It’s a track-and-field analogy. You were all hoping! The high…
