Ten Ways to Bring the Gospel Home this Christmas
Good post from Desiring God. Enjoy and seek to put some of these ideas into practice with your family.
“Escaping Pornography”
True to my word almost two years ago concerning my intention to offer resources (blog posts, books, articles, etc.), and comments to men/women who are struggling with pornography I wanted to share this particular link, which has some good words on “escaping pornography.”
Bible reading
Several years ago several godly men told me one of the most fruitful things I can do in my Christian walk is to saturate myself in the Scriptures and read about the Christ that every page in some capacity attest to. As a result, I’ve made a commitment to read through the Bible every year. Yesterday marked the…
Good word on unforgiveness by Paul David Tripp
If you’ve read any of Paul Tripp’s stuff you know that it’s gold. This post from Desiring God’s blog is yet another example of the rich, gospel-saturated words Paul Tripp seems to incessantly share.
“How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that…”
That’s a quote from Penn Jillete, an individual who is an outspoken atheist. However, in this video he makes some very pointed comments concerning people who believe in say, a heaven or hell, but don’t make attempts to proselytize other people. His comments and questions are spot-on and quite convicting. I plan on showing this…
Are Christians Meant to Feel Guilty All the Time?
I recently finished a book by Kevin DeYoung and I’m working through his latest one called “The Good News We Almost Forgot – Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism.” Thus far, I’m really enjoying it. However, this post isn’t in reference to his book but to a post he submitted on his blog yesterday. …
“The Transformation From Excited Missionary Into Citizen Of The Bubble”
The title of this post is taken from a sub-heading in Dan Kimball’s book “The Like Jesus But Not The Church – insights from emerging generations.” I read it several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. His commitment to engaging people who don’ t know Jesus (as well as those that do) was challenging and…
Your Prayer Life
This was taken from Justin Taylor’s blog at “Together for the Gospel.” You can pray that God would move in a way that results in: hundreds of people coming to Christ, old animosities being removed, marriages being reconciled and renewed, wayward children coming home, long-standing slavery to sin being conquered, spiritual dullness being replaced by vibrant…
People as Projects…?
This past week I had the privilege to meet with a friend of mine whom I’ve known for over ten years to discuss some of the claims of Christianity. We’re going to meet every other week to discuss Timothy Keller’s book “The Reason for God.” (As a side-note here is a great reader’s-guide for Keller’s book). …
Reflection on Personal Conflict – Part 3
My wife and I went on a vacation a couple weeks ago and I had every intention of knocking out Ken Sande’s “Peace Maker,” but I didn’t. In fact I didn’t come close! However, it wasn’t because of a lack of time or focus. It was actually due to the fact that I really want to…
