30 Days to A Praying Life
2009-07-14 16:13:00 I just finished Paul Miller’s A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Disconnected World.

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.

Brotherly Reconciliation: Steve Camp?s Humble Embrace of Mark Driscoll
2009-04-01 15:36:00 I get leery of blog wars. Some are unavoidable. And I’m sure I’ve contributed to some that were. A figrue who is especially polarizing in the Biblioblogosphere is Mark Driscoll. His edgy comments and modern methods make conservative evangelicals and especially fundamentalists nervous. But for all the hype that flows from Christian keyboards about him, you ...

God, Why a Recession Now?
2009-02-04 14:06:00 Many wouldn’t think of God as being behind the current economic slump. Some will use this recession as one more reason not to believe in Him.

Why Not to Visit Israel
2008-12-10 16:00:00 Every decent Christian longs to go to the Holy Land. They would love an opportunity to see the places where Biblical events happened, touch places Jesus may have touched, see where the Temple stood and where the empty tomb may have been. Right? Isn’t that true? Well, I agree with John Piper. I don’t really want ...

Quotes to Note 4: The Bible is Truth
2008-10-14 18:35:00 I subscribe to Table Talk, a monthly devotional published by R.C. Sproul’s Ligonier Ministries. Each month the magazine focuses on a theme, and this month that theme is “The Canonicity of Scripture”. In the openeing column, Burk Parsons, the editor, captures the gist of the issue. The Bible is the Word of God, and canonization ...
Our Prodigal God
2008-10-08 16:09:00 Prodigal has come to mean, in the Christian vernacular, a reprobate wretch. The word more accurately describes wasteful spending, or even just someone who is free with money. Tim Keller, following Spurgeon’s example, uses the term to refer to God — God as incredibly free with His grace and love. God is our prodigal God, ...

Music Mondays: ?How Deep? by Stephen Altrogge
2008-09-01 18:22:00 I plan on highlighting some more praise music again. Every Monday, I will try to post on one of the songs we sang in church the day before.

A Divine Perspective on the Church ? C.J. Mahaney
2008-08-15 16:37:00 Last Sunday, we had the privilege of hearing C.J. Mahaney preach in our church. His text was 1 Cor. 1:1-9 where Paul surprisingly commends the Corinthian church.

A New Song for the Nations
2008-07-01 18:37:00 My pastor, John Piper, made some interesting comments on the concept of a “new song” in this week’s sermon.

Quotes to Note 3: Luther?s Fear of God
2008-05-27 22:47:00 I have one final quote to share from The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul.

Devotional Songs-Chakra Dhyana
2008-05-16 08:36:00 Title : Chakra DhyanaLanguage: English About:The Chakra Dhyana CD is a formulation of ancient Tibetan and India techniques of meditation. It helps to enliven kundalini, a latent spiritual energy which when awakened flows through the Chakras (or energy centers of the psychic body), opening up higher dimensions in human consciousness. The CD expands consciousness in a way which relaxes the mind, balances the emotions and rejuvenates the body. The CD includes the chanting of powerful mantras, including the “bija mantras” (or seed sounds) for the chakras, and guides the listener in a visualization of kundalini energy as a golden fluid flowing into the chakras. The voice on the CD has been called a “divine gift”. It belongs to Sri Krishnaraj Bhagavaddasa who lives in a monastery in Southern India. He is said to have attained the state of enlightenment at a young age. Even the sound of his voice helps raise the consciousness of the listener .::SONGS LIST::.1. Chakr...
