Is not our greatest consolation in trials and afflictions Christ himself? Indeed he is. As the prophet Isaiah says (43:2): “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not [...]
I have posted my sermons from the last two weeks at the GCBC website, if you care to listen to them (Psalm 122, Psalm 88). Sorry, the Psalm 122 one was a bit of a mess. My fault for trying something different.
What a fun advertisement from (and for) the Discovery Channel!
Here are the lyrics (but it wouldn’t make much sense to read the lyrics without watching the video):
Two astronauts are in outer space looking directly at the earth. One of them speaks up.
“It never gets old, huh?”
“Nope.”
“It kinda makes you wanna . . [...]
Kris Lundgaard is blogging chapter by chapter through The Little Prince. It has remained one of my favorite books ever since we first read it in French class. (For what it’s worth, I made a quick comment in his combox about my short-lived drawing “career,” too.)
By the way, I also want to plug [...]
I thank God and rejoice even for pain and hurt.
I don’t mean I rejoice in pain and hurt, because these might be great evils. But I mean that I rejoice within the midst of pain and hurt, because by his grace I know that God is in the midst with me like he was [...]
Sinclair Ferguson: For preachers it’s much easier to seek to bring about conviction of sin and expose sin than to magnify and glory in the Lord Jesus. (This is similar to something I said this week in my sermon.)
I am lifting this out of my shared links to point out an opportunity to think about worldview and apologetics.
The headline is “Man Finds God, And It’s Not ‘Doctor Who.’” I like SyFy Portal, but I admit that I don’t agree with the author of this piece, Michal Hinman, about much outside of science [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. But, dear reader, don’t you know? It’s a hard knock life for me. I mean, it’s just so doggone hard to lift a finger to type when you’re lying down on a folding beach chair, chillaxin’ and sipping martinis on a beautiful, sandy beach [...]
Matt quotes from one of my top-five all-time favorite hymns.
I preached the Resurrection Day sermon at GCBC. Notable comments were “hey, this fits on just one audio CD” and “I can’t believe you preached the whole chapter.”
As you can see from the sidebar Twitter, I’m about to go below 200 pounds, for the first time in at least five years. This isn’t [...]
Next in Hebrews 3 we come to a section which implores us to enter into our rest. Strangely, I have seen a few commentators take the result of this argument in Heb. 4:9 and claim that this passage supports the ongoing requirement of Christians to keep the Sabbath (in some sense that includes resting [...]
I was reading Hebrews 3 this morning, and came across this:
Hebrews 3:1-6 Listen
3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. 3 For Jesus has been counted [...]
From C.H. Spurgeon:
“Salvation is of the Lord.” — Jonah 2:9.
Salvation is the work of God. It is He alone who quickens the soul “dead in trespasses and sins,” and it is He also who maintains the soul in its spiritual life. He is both “Alpha and Omega.” “Salvation is of the Lord.” If I am [...]
Eric Meyers, from UHL’s awesome Jesus-tomb-debunking blog:
I was shocked that the near universal scholarly consensus that the Talpiot tomb could not be the Tomb of Jesus was ignored by the press. In a surprise move Simcha Jacobovici addressed the group at the closing session and made special mention of the speech of Joseph Gat’s widow [...]
Just thought I’d point out a forum known as the RSQUBF LiveJournal Community (which also has a main website) for those interested in the truth about the University Bible Fellowship (UBF). I’m not entirely sanguine about some of the remarks made there, and how they’re made, but perhaps the remarks I have in mind [...]
I preached at Grace Community Bible Church today.
Terri Schiavo passed away this morning in her hospice.
The governments of the state of Florida and the United States are now complicit in the murder of a woman who may very well have wanted to live, and may have been able to recover.
It is not the first time this has happened, and now we are [...]
