Is Man Totally Depraved? Umm?.yep.
2007-11-29 17:11:00 Read this and draw your own conclusion. It’s only by Gods restraining common grace that none of us are him. Without such grace, our fallen-ness would destroy us. Imagine the magnitude of the work done on the cross that was required to wash the depth of such depravity away. A tremendous work indeed, and a high ...
A Poem For Our Times.
2007-11-28 17:50:00 The following is a poem by Steve Turner, a British journalist. I’ve heard Ravi Zacharias use it several times in a few of his lectures abroad, but never wrote down the words.

Righteous Indignation.
2007-11-20 03:56:00 Driscoll’s been a lightning rod for many in the church today who seem to think they’ve got a direct link to God on how to “properly” preach from the pulpit. Say what you may, I respect the man for not being shy in expressing his thoughts towards the road Christianity is headed down. Perhaps this, ...
What Does Jesus Look Like?
2007-11-16 01:44:00 Some argue He was olive skinned, some darker. Some say He had long hair, some say short. Some say He was tall and muscular, some say He was short and normal. Some say He had blue eyes, some say brown. Many argue He was this and that…as if it ever really mattered. Follow this link and you’ll ... More About: Jesus
Make It To The Cross?
2007-11-14 19:54:00 Buzzard Blog had a wonderful post on bible reading in full view of the cross. It makes sense…especially for me. He states: “If you don’t make it to the cross, you’ll make your Bible reading and your relationship with God about your performance rather than about Jesus’ performance. You’ll gravitate away from the gospel and towards ... More About: Cross , The Cross , Make

What should the gospel cost?
2007-10-27 00:01:00 I find it hard to believe that there is any Christian left that has not in some manner been blessed and challenged by the tremendous wealth of free resources made available at Desiring God. They have literally opened the doors of their vaults and made just about every single sermon, essay, book, and audio available ... More About: Cost , Gospel , The Go , The G
Th Christian and Halloween.
2007-10-24 15:58:00 Here’s a great tract from Grace To You concerning how Christian s should deal with Halloween . It seems this time of the year brings out the worst in us Christians. One camp will throw mud at the other for participating in a pagan ritual while the other slams the other for not walking boldly in their Christian ... More About: Ween , Allo
NIV vs. ESV and why Piper switched.
2007-10-22 16:40:00 The Problem Here is the problem we have had for almost thirty years in the English speaking world. The New International Version has become the most popular modern translation of the Bible in the Evangelical Church . But the NIV is very much of a paraphrase rather than a more literal translation. When I first read ... More About: Switched , Piper , Pipe , Witch
And I quote?.
2007-10-20 03:57:00 “Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His ... More About: Quote

GIVE ME BARABBAS!!!
2007-10-18 03:50:00 Listening to my audio bible the other night, I had yet another one of those “see myself in Gods mirror” moments and it had to do with Barabbas as of all people. Honestly, how many times have you read of when Pilate gave the Jews the choice between Barabbas and our Lord and not batted an ... More About: Give , Arab
Scripture Memorization
2007-10-15 16:31:00 Stumbled across an excellent essay at Pulpit Pimps a few weeks ago in regards to scripture memorization. Admittedly, scripture memorization hasn’t exactly been top on my priority list, but after hearing a Piper sermon a while back, I changed my mind. Piper went on to say in that sermon that of the many Alzheimer’s patients he ... More About: Scripture
?Oh my god! Not Blasphemy?
2007-10-08 17:17:00 I used to have a HUGE problem with unbelievers saying, “Oh my god!”. But after thinking about it, I’ve changed my mind about it and the key lies in the word “my” and the lower case “g”. Here’s why. Unbelievers have, whether they know it or not, in their mind a concept of a god ... More About: Blasphemy
Understanding the Glory in Election
2007-10-07 16:19:00 A quote from Donald Grey Barnhouse on understanding the Doctrine of election. When understood rightly, the doctrine of election is the most sustaining, hope enduring, God glorifying, and cross exalting of all the blessed doctrines a believer can to cling to. Election isn’t, or at least it shouldn’t be, an ivory tower teaching that we ... More About: Understanding , The G , Glory
Love for the Word of your Master.
2007-10-07 07:00:00 Fumbling around in desiringGod’s website, I found this little gem. Piper, writing a letter to his board of elders, is explaining why he wants the ESV translation to be the translation of choice in his church. In doing so, he writes the following. “I love the Bible the way I love my eyes?not because my eyes ... More About: Love , Word , Master , Mast , Aster
Vessels of Mercy
2007-10-05 19:41:00 Ever get a hunk of scripture lodged in your noodle for some unexplainable reason? A bit of text that maybe you haven’t read for months if not years? Last night “vessels of mercy” from Romans 9:23 stuck amongst the cobwebs in my head. Don’t know why, but I decided to meditate on it for a ... More About: Mercy

HEY! What are you lookin? at?
