The Gospel?s Work in Believers, Conclusion
2009-06-03 15:24:00 Continued from part 2. We have seen that the Gospel has many purposes for believers beyond initial conversion. It is as much for believers as unbelievers. I’d like to start this final post by quoting Tim Keller once more at some length. (I should mention that the quotes from Keller in this series come from this ...

The Gospel?s Work in Believers, Part 2
2009-05-31 19:57:00 Continued from part 1. So, in the gospel, as unbelievers we found acceptance through Christ and forgiveness from sin. But as believers, don?t we rely on that acceptance as we work out our salvation? Don?t we need to be constantly challenged to obey more and be more faithful to God? Does our spiritual life depend in ... More About: Religion , Work , Gospel , Part , Perseverance
The Gospel?s Work in Believers, Part 1
2009-05-27 16:48:00 The following is taken from an adult SS lesson I taught this past Sunday. I thought it would be a blessing to share it by means of my blog for a wider audience. 1 Thess. 2:9-13 For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a ...

Book Review Blogging Made Easy
2009-05-26 19:56:00 I’ve written before about how to get books for free by reviewing them on your blog. Since that post, more and more Christian publishers are starting up book review programs for bloggers. Rather than having to email publishers and plead for a book, they are soliciting you to join their book review program. That makes ... More About: Book Review , Review , Blogging , Book , Made
Mircroblogging: Twitter As the New Frontier of Blogging
2009-05-21 18:41:00 Twitter is steadily becoming more and more popular, especially with bloggers. If you haven’t explored Twitter yet, you’re missing out on the microblogging revolution. Blogging is great, but particularly with biblioblogging, posts can tend to be lengthy and updating one’s blog can be time-consuming. Microblogging, however, provides a much simpler alternative to blogging. Sites like Twitter, ... More About: Religion , Site News , Miscellany , Twitter
What I Mean by Preaching :: Desiring God
2009-05-14 08:17:00 Preaching is Expository Exultation. This clip is a good illustration of the importance of preaching. It was from Saturday night’s message. We saw Piper live at the north campus Sunday morning, and the video from that would have been even more passionate! I trust you’ll all enjoy this clip and rejoice ...

On My Shelf: Books I?m Reading Now-2

The Bible on Hair Care
2009-05-08 13:49:00 No, I haven’t yet found a Biblical defense for using Pert’s Plus. I’m talking about what the Bible says about hair length. This may be a surprise to you, but listen to what Paul says in 1 Cor. 11:14-15. Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for ...

Tweeting the Gospel
2009-05-06 05:20:00 Twitter is becoming more and more popular these days. One of the things it does is force us to be succinct, which is good. Nine Marks Ministries‘ blog, Church Matters, is challenging all Christian twitterers to share the gospel in 1 tweet. It’s a novel idea, and causes us to focus on the true heart ...

Abortion? As Unthinkable as Racism
2009-05-01 14:40:00 John Piper has some great remarks on the connection between racism and abortion. The link between the two gives hope that as the one used to be accepted and now is unthinkable, so the other will fade away as well. clipped from www.desiringgod.org We should seek to stigmatize abortion by associating it with racism as closely ...

Quotes to Note 9: Luther on Sanctification
2009-04-21 15:16:00 Today I have a simple quote for you. This comes from Joel Beeke’s Living for God’s Glory: An Introduction to Calvinism. This single quote is worth meditating on today. May God bless us in our walk with Christ. Martin Luther states, “We in Christ equals justification; Christ in us equals sanctification”. (Beeke, Living ...

Fundamentalist Profundity
2009-04-01 15:53:00 Pastor Steve Anderson is the embodiment of almost everything extreme about independent fundamental Baptists.
