A Passion for God’s Word
Today I was talking on the phone with a friend of mine about something we both desire to see in those we teach and preach to - a passion for God’s Word. We were talking about how some Christians seem to have no desire to read the Bible. Beyond the possibility that true regeneration may […]
To Him be Glory and Power for Ever and Ever
“To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father - to Him be the glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.” - Revelation 1:5-6
Don’t Add On…
This poem by Blair Wingo is outstanding. The theology here is so correct and so beautiful. May our preachers in churches today listen carefully to what is said here. Please listen carefully….
“For I determined to know nothing among you except Christ Jesus and Him crucified.” - 1 Corinthians 2:2
Amen! Solus Christus! (Christ alone)
Little Boys Trying to Play Men of God
“If you are a lost unregenerate Hell bound church member, then you will need all sorts of things to motivate you for the Christian life, you’ll need to go to a church where it’s like a six-flags over Jesus, they have every sort of thing you can imagine to keep you entertained. They have program […]
Blessings
Thou Great Three-One,
Author of all blessings I enjoy, of all I hope for, Thou hast taught me that neither the experience of present evils, nor the remembrances of former sins, nor the remonstrances of friends, will or can affect a sinner’s heart, except thou vouchsafe to reveal thy grace and quicken the dead in sin […]
Reformed Brethren
Three friend of mine who share a passion for the glory of God have come together and we’ve created a new blog called “Reformed Brethren“. (No ,this blog isn’t going anywhere anytime soon Lord willing.) This new blog will cover all kinds of topics from book reviews, current trends in the church to theological discussions. […]
In Him All Things Hold Together
Confession & Petition
From “The Valley of Vision” - a collection of Puritan prayers. (If you don’t own this little book I encourage you to get it… it is amazing!)
Holy LORD,
I have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, of failure to find thy mind in Thy Word, of neglect to seek Thee in […]
The Milky Way
Jeff Noblit, the senior pastor of Paul Washer’s home church is one of my top 5 favorite preachers who preaches the full meat of Scripture. This video of one of his sermons hits home for me as it is something that I personally preach (my SS class says I preach most of the time <grin>) […]
Distractions
True Discernment has an excellent post on the importance of overcoming distractions in the life of the Christian. As they put it, “Among the enemies to devotion none is so harmful as distractions.” I could not agree more. Our lives are plagued with cellphones, meetings, the internet, emails, errands - all of which are a […]
American Idol “Shouts to the Lord”
Ok, I admit - the wife and I love to watch American Idol. I was in my home office tonight studying for class tomorrow and as tonight’s American Idol episode was ending I heard the contestants singing “Shout to the Lord”. I had to get up and go in the den to watch this one! […]
Oprah and a Call for Discernment
It seems lately that the video on YouTube of Oprah (see below) (where she is going on about how there are many ways to God, her endorsement of New Age spirituality through the likes of Eckhart Tolle and a complete attack against Christianity) is now quite popular among emails, etc. It’s a great thing that […]
