A Tortured Existence
2009-06-26 16:08:00 Thought-provoking post below from Tim Challies… So the king is dead. What a sad end to a sad life; a pathetic end to a pathetic life (by which I mean to use pathetic in its true sense as “arousing pity and sympathy). I don’t know that I have ever seen, in one man, such a combination ... More About: Jesus , Existence

Where A Man Belongs
2009-06-23 21:18:00 Do not let the rhetoric of unbiblical feminism cow you into thinking that Christlike leadership from husbands is bad. It is what our homes need more than anything. For all your meekness and all your servanthood and all your submission to your wife’s deep desires and needs, you are still the head, the leader. What ...

34 Psalms In 34 Days: Psalm 46
2009-06-03 18:46:00 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.

Sitting Where Angels Stand
2009-06-03 01:57:00 Good thoughts from David Mathis… What?s more impressive than standing in God ?s presence? Sitting?and doing so at the right hand. An angel said to John the Baptist?s father: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God” (Luke 1:19). That?s noteworthy. But more so is what Hebrews says about Jesus: “After making purification for sins, he sat ... More About: Bible , Angels , Christ , Stand

He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the ...

Kill the Spider!
2009-05-08 22:53:00 In a certain church, there was a man who always ended his prayers with, “And, Lord, clean the cobwebs out of my life! Clean the cobwebs out of my life!” One of the members of the church became weary of hearing this same insincere request week after week, because he saw no change in the petitioner’s ...

Arming Ourselves In Prayer (3)
2009-05-08 12:47:00 The Spirit’s instructions concerning the armor of God conclude with the expectation that disciples of Christ would be “praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication” (Eph 6.18).

We Are Far Too Easily Pleased
2009-05-01 16:54:00 If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly to hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing ...

?Well, At Least I Had A Good Time??
2009-04-25 20:19:00 Good thoughts on some similarities between Judgment and pop culture from Trevin Wax: Whenever Simon Cowell gives a brutally honest assessment of an American Idol performance, all of America watches the response of the contestant.

There Is No Spiritual Switzerland
2009-04-15 15:27:00 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. [Psalm 34:15-16] None of us is neutral. Just as Jesus said: “Whoever is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30). And this psalm presents ...
