Tonight my wife and I watched The Hiding Place, a movie about the life of Corrie Ten Boom and her family. The movie told the story of the Ten Boom family who hid and cared for Jews trying to escape Nazi persecution in Holland during World War II. This portion of the story showing Christian [...]

I have been reading “Knowing and Doing the Will of God” for the past three years. The book is a 365 day devotional that is a compilation of exerpts from the works of J.I. Packer. Packer is eloquent, theologically sound, and pastoral in his writings, and it shows in this work. He is not campy [...]

I came across an interesting article today @ Be Thinking. I have mulled this gist of this article around in my head for some time now. This line of thinking was focused somewhat when I saw Ben Stein’s “Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed.” And now, I believe God is wanting me to give some serious thought [...]

I was reading Dr. Mohler’s blog on apologetics for the postmodern world when I came across this quotation.
The famous skeptic philosopher David Hume was once observed on his way to hear George Whitefield preach one of his five o’clock morning messages on Christ. The observer chided Hume: “I didn’t think you believed in God.” Hume [...]

I have been reading John Piper’s: Brothers, We are Not Professionals. In this book, Piper calls all pastors/leaders to: “abandon the secularization of the pastorate and pursue the prophetic call of the Bible for radical ministry.” It is a call that I plan to embrace, and encourage you to do so as well. But that [...]
Whether in Hell or on the Cross

Too often I take things into my own hands, even so far as stepping into God’s role. I was reading Piper last night when he stepped on my toes about this habit of mine. Piper was writing about humility, when he said: “Humility does not feel a right to better treatment than Jesus got.” You [...]
Norma Normans Non Normata…

Norma Normans Non Normata, the latin phrase meaning: The Norm of norms which cannot be normed. Al Mohler recently used this latin phrase to remind us of the reformers’ belief that God’s word norms us, and not vice versa. I believe that in our Post Modern world & way of thinking, we’ve forgotten that it [...]
