As true today…
Here is a blast from the past. Seems to be just as true today, if not more so, than it was over a decade ago. Read and consider… Reformation’s First Step...
Chapter 7: Disciple Someone
Hello readers! (I’m glad to address all 5 of you!) I thought you might enjoy this little preview of my upcoming book, “Battle Plan: How regular Christians can engage in the culture war in a Biblical way”. (I’m still accepting title recommendations, btw.) If you’re interested in becoming part...
The Desires of the Mind
Eph. 2:3 – “…among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind…” (ESV, emphasis added) What would you say are the desires of the mind? We all pretty much understand the desires of the body, or...
Fighting Condemnation
One of the most difficult and prevalent challenges facing the 21st century Christian is fighting condemnation. Sometimes confused with judgement, condemnation is something that we often do to ourselves, and sometimes cast at others. The former is, in my view, more common. Let me share some Scriptural truth with...
The Thief on the Cross
Incredible faith in the shadow of death I’ve been thinking about this idea since Easter I was contemplating the thief on the cross. You remember the thief of the cross? When Jesus was on the cross he was between two thieves. One thief mocks him saying, “You know, if...
“For such a time as this”
What is a Christian's duty in government? Influencing and even guiding governments to be more righteous, wise, or otherwise beneficial to the whole of a given society is an honorable pursuit for any Believer. To borrow a phrase from the Pledge of Allegiance, to preserve “liberty and justice for...
Defining Grace
So I got an email from a friend a couple weeks back, and I found it to be a very clear and easy explanation of Grace and how to understand it according to Scripture. With all due respect and appreciation for my Calvinist friends, I present defining grace for...
Thoughts from Sunday on Monday: A Kingdom Calling
St. Patrick's Day is not just a holiday about Irish stuff. It isn't just a day for remembering we have that green suit jacket in the closet, or having an excuse for pinching our party-pooping friends. (You know who you are!)
It's a day for remembering the "missionary mindset" that...
The Purpose of Man
“Man’s primary purpose is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” – Westminster Shorter Catechism We read this tonight during family worship, and while I do not agree with everything in the Westminster Catechism, this first statement is certainly solidly biblical and has been a great help to...
Adrianisms: part 2 – Our Specific Father
Here is a link to another post about “Adrianisms.” Encouraging thoughts to me on a day-to-day basis. Little things like this can keep us going can’t they?...
Adrianisms: Great Sayings
I got a book last Christmas called “Adrianisms: the Wit and Wisdom of Adrian Rogers.” It has had so many wonderful sayings, most of them original to the late Rev. Rogers. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I think I could write a blog on almost every one....
Thoughts from Sunday…on Monday: Boldly through the veil
“To boldly go where no man has gone before!” These lines from the original Star Trek television series speak of exploration and adventure. But “boldly going into dangerous places” was a thought that occurred to me during our service on Sunday. In Hebrews 10:16-22 the writer speaks of the...
Thoughts from Sunday…on Monday: Loving Family
At the suggestion of a beautiful woman (which don't always pan out, but this was an exceptionally beautiful woman, so it's fine) I have decided to start a new series called "Thoughts from Sunday....on Monday." In this series I will give brief thoughts from my experiences on the previous...
