What does God care more about?
Posted in Church, Evangelism, Gospel, Sanctification on May 10, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Does God care more about me doing works for Him and seeking to spread His Kingdom? Or does God care more about my character and who I am before Him and His holiness? Obviously, we want BOTH. But, God cares more about the latter first. If we do the former (works for God) without [...]
A Deadly Deficit in Discipleship
Posted in Church, Evangelism, Gospel, Sanctification on May 1, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I am deeply concerned about a Deadly Deficit in Discipleship that I see. Discipleship is a term well known in the Christian circle. We get this Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 when Jesus calls His people to (as they go) make disciples (main command) of all nations. Therefore, almost all professing Christians, Christian ministries, [...]

Dr. Ed Welch from CCEF (Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation) writes an insightful article about the blessings and dangers of black and white thinkers and those who are not.

Comparison between Typical College Parachurch Ministries and Husband Post
Posted in Church, Evangelism, Gospel, Sanctification on April 23, 2012 | 1 Comment »
A week or so ago, I wrote an initial draft of a plan to Reach Husbands for the Glory of God. Several people gave really helpful feedback. Now, I want to share my heart and thoughts on a comparison between that first Husband Post and what I see happening in “Typical” College Parachurch Ministries. Several [...]
We Live in a Fallen World
Posted in Gospel, Sanctification on April 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
We live in a fallen world. It will not be completely redeemed until Jesus returns again. I have known this truth theologically and in my head for many years, but recently, this truth practically has powerfully convicted me and helped me grow in a biblical perspective of life. We live in a fallen world. [...]

Sometimes, I get tired of fighting sin. If you sometimes do too, I pray that this short post by Dr. Ed Welch will encourage you.
The Power of Conversion
Posted in Church, Gospel, Prayer, Sanctification on February 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Jonathan Leeman at 9Marks writes a helpful article about the power of conversion, not only in relation to eternity, but for the rest of our lives here on earth. The only thing I would add a footnote to is that the truths he writes about from Scripture are not just underestimated power for pastors, but [...]
Living in an Assumptions-Oriented World
Posted in Church, Culture, Gospel, Sanctification on February 28, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
We all live in an assumptions-oriented world. Others assume things of us. And we assume things of others. Pastor Kevin DeYoung wrote a helpful blog post on not assuming. Seeing how far short I fall short, how often I sinfully assume things of others, I am so thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. [...]
