The Measure of a Soul: What Determines Human Worth Welcome, friends. Today we’re asking a question that every human heart wrestles with at some point— What am I worth?

The Supreme Sacrifice
In the back of my Bible, I have two quotations that I read very often to remind me of the direction of my preaching. The first one is: Gospel Workers, [Ellen G. White], p. 315: “The sacrifice of Christ as an atonement for sin is the great truth around which all other truths cluster. In…

The ‘In Christ’ Motif
When Christ came to this world 2,000 years ago, He came primarily to be the gospel, not just to explain the gospel. It is Paul who God set aside to explain the gospel. Paul tells us about himself and his ministry: Ephesians 3:8: Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given…

The Love of God

The Two Adams
John tells us that, when we understand the love of God, His perfect love will cast out fear and there will be no more fear of the judgment. It is not because we are good but because, as He is, so are we in this world. But the fact that God loves us unconditionally is…

Justification by Faith
We have discovered, basically, three major facts: We are all under sin. That means we are ruled and dominated by sin. We are slaves to sin, which means that it is impossible, and I repeat that, it is impossible for us to save ourselves through our own good works. The gospel is the righteousness of God, which…

The Righteousness of God
In 1972, my family and I had the “privilege” of being deported from Uganda by Idi Amin. I say “privilege” because the other alternative was to be put into a concentration camp and be shot. When we left, we lost everything. Idi Amin would not allow us to even touch our bank account. Each one…
