Prayer

April 19, 2010

Following Sunday’s sermon on prayer, I was approached with the request to end this week of concerted prayer with a 24 hour period of continuous prayer.  There’s no way in the world that I’m going to discourage such a request.
So on Saturday April 24th from 8:00 AM until 8:00 AM on Sunday the 25th, all [...]

7 “isms”

March 16, 2010

I read this on a blog recently and thought it might provoke some more thought and conversation on the subject we’ve been considering.

Warfield on the Joyfully Exultant Tone of Miserable Sinner Christianity

March 10, 2010

This is a follow up to Wednesday’s night study in the Sermon on the Mount.  It is meant to emphasize the reality that though we know the truth about our own sinfulness, and realize something of our poverty of spirit before a Holy and perfect God, the result OUGHT to be GREAT JOY rather than [...]

Taking sin seriously

February 28, 2010

J.C. Ryle on Unbelief

January 24, 2010

“We see … how exceedingly sinful is the sin of unbelief. Two remarkable expressions are used in teaching this lesson. One is, that our Lord “could do no mighty work” at Nazareth, by reason of the hardness of the people’s hearts. The other is, that “He was amazed at their unbelief.” The one shows us [...]

Brit Hume on Tiger Woods

January 11, 2010

Here’s a follow up to the Brit Hume comments about Tiger, Buddhism & Jesus Christ.  I think his observation about the name of Jesus Christ causing “all hell to break loose” is spot on.  Good job Mr. Hume on having the heart and the guts to state your beliefs while still being professional and tactful [...]

Read a good book lately?

January 06, 2010

A new year for me means, among other things, a stack of books on my “to read” list.  I try to keep my book diet more balanced than my food diet, sadly.  I’ve got six books going right now that fall into various categories.
My current stack looks like this:
PASTORAL:
