"I find myself frequently depressed – perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions."
I am founder or chairman of Lord of Glory Ministries. I have provided my materials as a few "fishes and loaves" to attempt to exalt the Holy Trinity alone and debase the idolatry of man. I hope and pray to provide sound and free online books (although they are not cheap!) and Reformed sermons related to biblical apologetics and theology or regular Reformed "blog posts".

Hamartiology: The Doctrine of Sin (Disobedience), Pt 1
Sin is defined as a cosmic transgression (1 Jn 3:4), complete unrighteousness (1 Jn 5:17), omission of known duty (Js 4:17), not from Bible-based faith (Rom 14:23) and thoughts of abominable foolishness (Prov 24:9; Ps 53ff).
Some people are not aware of their sin. Other people know that they have sinned but never seek the only way to be right with God. If the way to be right with God is sought by mere men not of God, it will only led to further sinfulness of deceit. That is, no one is saved by the world, the flesh, or the devil. God must intervene through His outstretched Spirit and the power of His Word to open hearts in spiritual bestowal of the gift of new faith, new righteousness, new forgiveness, as a new creation (Acts 16:14; Jn 3ff; Tit 3:5; 2 Cor 5:17).
