Prayerful Thoughts

Danny wrote this during closing prayers this morning:
God bring me to you.You are unlimited love for the whole world.No one can take that away.Amen

and amen.

Must. Post.

Team Pyro has dragged out the Lordship thread for three days, I can’t see why can’t revisit it.
One of the comments, by ‘Don Sands’ in the thread now yearning for 400 posts was this:
“we need to walk a fine line” -Phil
“we are sinners and saints all at once! That is the paradox of evangelicalism. [...]

Lordship - the horse flogging begins…

I blogged tangentially on Phil Johnson’s Lordship series in my post ‘Morphin’ Time…‘. Last night I wrapped up my class that surveyed John Ortberg’s The Life You’ve Always Wanted. Today Phil has posted the last of the Lordship series and an open post for any doubters/debators to keep on whaling on the horse [...]

Mawwiage and the art of perserverence…

David Wayne (aka Jollyblogger) has a post citing Marriage statistics.  The old saw the last few years is that the divorce rate from evangelicals is roughly equal to (and sometimes worse than) the national average.  This new post states that instead of just counting those that cite a ‘born again’ experience as proof of their [...]

Looking over your shoulder…

Have you ever wondered about God’s angels?  Or guardian angels?  Some type of angelic host that protects us from trouble?
There was a friend at our church that had a really bad bicycle accident, fell 15 feet from the top of a jump.  Landed on his face, and was really torn up.  He will be going [...]

The Truth Project

That is the topic we studied in our bible study last night, here is a link:
The Truth Project
Produced by Focus on the Family, it is a fairly good worldview study, looking at the ‘big’ questions.  Last night we watched the third segment, that talks about ‘Anthropology’ and tries to answer the question of ‘who is [...]

For AP: Biblical context for ‘With us’

Last week, HotAir’s AllahPundit had a discussion on the Amish’s tendancy to outrageously forgive their enemies, and asked Christians to reconcile their advocacy of war, with Christ’s teaching of ‘turn the other cheek’.
Today’s controversy is Ted Turner’s comments on President Bush use of the phrase ‘if you aren’t with us, you are against us’, quoting [...]

Morphin’ Time…

And now for something completely different. A couple of weeks ago, I signed up to teach a course for our church during our Wednesday night activities. The course is a video presentation based on John Ortberg’s book The Life You’ve Always Wanted. Let me cut&paste a bit from the preface:
If you have [...]

Forgiveness v. Justice… the point is Grace.

Allahpundit over at HotAir has a good link to an article about one of the Amish girls being asked to be shot first, to give more time to her companions. Then as he is wont, goes on to post an excerpt to a post by John Podhoretz that cracks open the question of Forgiveness [...]

Focus of evangelism…

… is God, not the ‘convertee’
Read Dan Phillips‘ insightful (at least I think) post on the topic of “Doomed” Evangelism
Money quote:
Our focus in evangelism (I preach to myself, nice of you to listen in) must be the glory of God. Lift up the Lord Jesus, lift up His gospel, lift up the Cross, and God [...]
