Deny, Attack, Reverse the Victim and the Offender
A man is revealed by the way he responds when the receipts are handed to him. These Christian leaders should be ashamed. They should be modeling repentance to us. Instead, they put the shame on the victims. Well, I’m not going to stay a victim. Steven Wedgeworth has posted an article claiming he has... Continue Reading
Tend Your Own Garden
Before I can hope to impact the world beyond my own front door, I have to impact the people under my own roof.
We live in a culture that seems to believe that tweets and hashtags will revolutionize society. I’m just old fashioned enough to believe that it may come a little differently. In fact, it in an age of social unrest and societal upheaval, the most revolutionary thing we can do might be to tend our own... Continue Reading
The One About Calvinism and Evangelism
Let’s prove through our own lives that our Calvinism gives us motive, gives us zeal, gives us passion for the salvation of the lost.
There is a difference between saying “Calvinist theology promotes evangelism” and “Calvinists actually evangelize.” There is a difference between saying “Calvinists have historically evangelized” and “Calvinists do evangelize right now.” After all, isn’t it possible that we may fail to live up to our theology? If you read enough blogs over a long enough... Continue Reading
Racism & Redemption
Racism is contrary to redemption.
The Father has children, beloved in elect Christ before the foundation of the world, who speak with different sounds from ours: if God-blood marks their forehead, then, on our part, it is ignorance and shame which leads us to despise them. Humility before men is the vocation to which we’ve been called – not to... Continue Reading
When Our Own Understanding Fails
Desperation to understand how and why God can bring good for His children out of loss and heartache is what made reading Psalm 131 so uncomfortable.
I don’t understand a lot of things. Some mornings I still wake up with a defensive spirit and an arrogant heart, but then I recall the words of Psalm 131, and rather than praying for immediate answers, I pray for a soul like that of the Psalmist. A heart not lifted up. Eyes not raised... Continue Reading
Christians Aren’t Allowed to Cancel Anyone
If you’ve been cancelled, come to church. The church can’t cancel you.
It takes supernatural aid to get over the compulsion first to cancel God, and then to cancel all the rest of one’s fellow creatures. The only person none of us is willing to cancel is ourselves. And so we are divided from each other, isolated, tearing the world apart in every kind of way. ... Continue Reading
The Peace of Christ or a Dead Calm?
If you find yourself unconcerned with your spiritual state before the Lord, but there is no joy in Christ Jesus, you may be experiencing the ease of a deceitful heart.
None of us are without sin. It is time for all of us to draw up under the wings of our Savior, and find joy in our salvation as the Holy Spirit works in our hearts. The revived joy will make the things of God more precious to us than anything this world can offer,... Continue Reading
The Key to Contentment
Jesus is enough.
Have we misunderstood contentment, thinking that it means getting the things we think will make us happy? In pursuit of false contentment, might we actually treat God like a sort of genie—like Jeremiah’s contemporaries who practiced religion so that they could have plenty of food, be well-off, and see no trouble (Jer. 44:17)? How... Continue Reading
Gospel Unity or Black Lives Matter
Seeing one another from God's perspective.
In Christ, and only in Christ, are all relationships healed. We must go to the One who is the fount of all blessing and find our healing in Him. We must firmly and decisively take our stand upon His Word. As a pastor, I am for unity. It is part and parcel of the... Continue Reading
A Free People’s Suicide?
The End of Law and Order in the West
The rule of law, reason and rationality have been replaced by the rule of the mob and who shouts loudest on social media. All aided and abetted by governments, police and media. Last weekend there was a society changing event in Sydney (similar events happened in London, Glasgow, New York and many other cities).... Continue Reading
