The Epistle of James is now Available!
October 3, 2017 by Sam Storms
Several weeks ago I announced that my entire series of sermon notes on the book of Hebrews was available on my website. Today I’m happy to tell you that all twenty-two lessons on the book of James are now posted. If you are unfamiliar about how to access these documents, simply click on Resources at the top of the Home page, and then on Articles. Look under Biblical Studies, and at the bottom of the list you will see both Hebrews and James. These twenty-two articles are essentially a verse-by-verse analysis of James. I hope and pray you will find them helpful in your life or ministry, or in both.

My 3-Minute Presentation at the Oklahoma City School Board Meeting
By: Sam Storms
[As you probably know, Kirk Humphreys recently was pressured to resign from the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents, largely over his comments concerning the moral legitimacy of homosexual conduct. He is also being asked to resign from the Board of the John Rex Charter Elementary School here in OKC. He has refused to do so, much to his credit and courage. This past Monday, January 8, the regular meeting of the Oklahoma City school board was convened and many appeared...Read More ➔

A Big God calls for Really, Really Big Prayers
By: Sam Storms
When people confess that they find prayer boring and uneventful, I often wonder if they really know the One to whom they are speaking. Of course, some push back against that suggestion and say: “Come on, Sam. Be a little more gracious and kind. Of course I know the God to whom I’m speaking. After all, I’m a Christian.” Well, I’m sorry, but that isn’t good enough. A lot of genuine, born-again believers go through their Christian lives l...Read More ➔
10 Things You Should Know about Jonathan Edwards’s Most Important Sermon

10 Things You Should Know about Jonathan Edwards’s Most Important Sermon
By: Sam Storms
The first thing you should know (but not included among the ten) is that Jonathan Edwards’s most important sermon was not “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” That was certainly his most famous sermon, but not the most important one he ever preached. That distinction must be reserved for “A Divine and Supernatural Light,” which he delivered to his congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts, in 1734. The full title to this message was &ldq...Read More ➔
Tolerance, Intolerance, and the University of Oklahoma

Tolerance, Intolerance, and the University of Oklahoma
By: Sam Storms
I’ve noticed an interesting trend among several of the comments in response to my letter to the President and Board of Regents at OU. A few people have suggested that Kirk Humphreys is being “intolerant” of those who engage in homosexual intimacy. But that is not true. The problem is that in recent years the meaning of “tolerance” has undergone a significant but often unnoticed shift. No one has pointed this out with greater clarity than D....Read More ➔
Resolutions for the New Year (with a little help from Jonathan Edwards)

Resolutions for the New Year (with a little help from Jonathan Edwards)
By: Sam Storms
Resolving in the grace of God to bring one’s life into greater conformity to the image of Jesus is an appropriate expression of Christian sanctification, regardless of the time of year. It was in the late fall of 1722 that 19-year-old Jonathan Edwards wrote the first of what would eventually become 70 resolutions for life. He was, at the time, serving as pastor of a Presbyterian church in New York City. The 70th, and last resolution, was written on August 17th, 172...Read More ➔
My Letter to Oklahoma University President David Boren and to the OU Board of Regents

My Letter to Oklahoma University President David Boren and to the OU Board of Regents
By: Sam Storms
[Most of you know by now that Kirk Humphreys, evangelical Christian and former Mayor of Oklahoma City, “resigned” from the Board of Regents at the University of Oklahoma. The issue that led to this unfortunate turn of events was Humphreys’ biblical stance on the issue of homosexuality. The letter below was sent to President Boren and the University’s Board of Regents both by email and regular post. Mr. Humphreys also was sent a copy of the letter....Read More ➔

New Resources on the Book of Joshua now Available!

A couple of years ago I preached through the book of Joshua at Bridgeway Church. The sermon manuscripts are now available for your use at my website. Simply click on Resources at the top of the home page and you will see where the Articles appear. Look under Biblical Studies. You will need to scroll down to the bottom of that list and you’ll find the 15 articles on much of Joshua. I hope and pray they are of benefit to you in your study of God’s Word!...Read More ➔
Top Ten Books of 2017

Top Ten Books of 2017
By: Sam Storms
It’s time once again for my top ten list of the best books of 2017. But I’m going to fudge a bit on the year. A few of these books were released before 2017, but I either only recently got around to reading them or they are of such relevance to this particular year (the 500th anniversary of the launch of the Protestant Reformation) that I thought they should be included. So we’ll start with number ten and work our way down (up?) to number one. (10) Thi...Read More ➔
The Word Became Flesh! A Meditation on the Paradoxes of the Incarnation

The Word Became Flesh! A Meditation on the Paradoxes of the Incarnation
By: Sam Storms
I’ve often said that the single most amazing, mind-boggling verse in the Bible is John 1:14 – “The Word became flesh!” As we approach Christmas, I thought it would be good to post again some observations I made in my book, Pleasures Evermore. I pray you are blessed by this meditation on the paradoxes of the Incarnation. Take a deep breath and ponder what this means. Don't dismiss it as theological speculation. This is a truth on which your eterna...Read More ➔
10 Things You Should Know about the Salvation of those who Die in Infancy

10 Things You Should Know about the Salvation of those who Die in Infancy
By: Sam Storms
What becomes of those who die in infancy, before reaching an age of intellectual and moral development that would make it possible for them to understand and respond to the revelation of God in the gospel and in creation? This question also applies to those who grow into adulthood suffering from such severe mental impairment that they are incapable of moral discernment, deliberation, or rational decision-making. If human nature is corrupt and guilty from conception, the ...Read More ➔
