That [your pastor] would know and love the living God, would have a saving interest in Christ, being purchased by His blood, and thus would be bound to the Lord by the indissoluble bond of the Holy Spirit.

If half of these things had even occured to me at this authors age, I can’t imagine how brilliant I’d be today. Labels: Christian life, david gunderson 0 comments » more . . . » John MacArthur — Why doesn’t John MacArthur add much application to his sermons? — [The Bible] doesn’t say, “And here’s how to do this if you’re 32 years old, and you live in North Hollywood.” . . . And if I made my message mostly a whole lot of those little illustrations, I would be missing 90 percent of you who don’t live in that experience. . . . Application belongs to the Spirit of God. Labels: Audio, john macarthur, Ministry 0 comments » more . . . » Stand to Reason — Lacking Judgment — Truth claims and morality require making judgments for good reasons. And the mistaken modern notion of religious pluralism and tolerance makes people equally incapable of making the proper kinds of judgments.

Labels: Audio, music/arts 0 comments » more . . . » R. Scott Clark — On Churchless Evangelicals Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 — The biblical and confessional doctrine of the church challenges two cultural assumptions of North American evangelicals and two of the most sacred idols of the culture: autonomy, i.e. the notion that one is a law unto oneself, and the evangelical (and liberal) love for a disembodied Jesus. Labels: church, ecclesiology, R Scott Clark 0 comments » more . . . » Derek Thomas — Understanding the Times — The first question we need to ask in Bible study is not, “What is this text saying to me?” but “What is this text saying to me about God?” God-centered living puts God first, second and last. Those in love will understand full well: we just can’t get enough of those we love and if we truly love God we will be equally dissatisfied with anything (or anyone) else.

And a boot to the head. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #1 Replacement theology, or what is also termed supersessionism, is the view that the Christian Church has replaced, or transcends, the nation of Israel in God's redemptive purposes so that the Church has become Abraham's spiritual seed and fulfills the covenant promises God made to Israel. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #2 . . . Sam is annoyed he can't place John into his pre-fabricated box which reads on the side, "What dispensationalists believe." MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #3 Like all faithful Covenant Theological, Reformed Baptists, a good part of [Waldron's] agenda is to make sure when his readers finish his book they go away knowing Sam believes the NT Church is simply the "New" Israel. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #4 Romans 9:6 states, But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect, For they are not all Israel who are of Israel. MacArthur's Millennial Manifesto - Rejoinder #5 As much as I commend Sam's efforts in an attempt to present his view on the NT Church being a New Israel here from Ephesians 2, I don't believe it holds up under examination.

Am I wondering if I've been growing in my love for my brothers and sisters in Christ? I must look to Christ! Do I seek to grow in my ability to lead my family? I must follow the example of Christ!

It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good. (HT) Labels: Atheism, Evangelism / Missions 0 comments » more . . . » Russell D. Moore — How Hellish Is “Time Out”? — If “time out” in your house is a tool to prompt thinking, while the child waits for swift discipline and restoration, then have at it. If “time out” is a means of punishing the child by removing him from the fellowship of his family, then you’re removing him from the very means of discipleship he (and we) so desperately needs.
