Tonight I am teaching my care group about Jesus’ statement in John 14, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.”
You could come and hear me speak, or you could just read this:
“Follow thou me. I am the way the truth and the life. Without [...]

Some time ago picked up a copy of John Owen’s “The Mortification of Sin.” I literally bought it because I had a gift certificate to our church bookstore, wanted one particular book, had only a few dollars left, and Owen’s book was the cheapest one available at the time. I figured, “Hey, I always hear [...]

No takers on the latest installment of Pseudo-Scriptural trivia! What a lot of chickens you are. While you are all cowering and refusing to venture your respective guesses, I’ve got a great thought-provoking quote from Blaise Pascal.

I am finding A.W. Tozer to be very quotable. He has a very pastoral feel to him. That is appropriate because he was a a pastor, I guess. I just finished another one of his books so I thought I’d share some of it with you all:

“An old adage says that thoughts disentangle themselves when passed through the lips and across the fingertips [Amen! {"Amen!" mine}].

Currently I, and some of the students in the high school ministry, are going through “God’s Passion for His Glory” by John Piper. Piper wrote this book in order to introduce readers to Jonathan Edwards, a pastor and theologian considered by many to be one of the most brilliant minds in American history. While I’ve [...]

Lately I have been working my way through “Spirit Empowered Preaching” by Arturo Azurdia. That was where I came across the great quote from Martyn Lloyd-Jones the other day (I think it was in “Evangelicalism Divided” by Ian Murray, too). The book is my source of another great quote, attributed to an “old country preacher”. [...]

Here are some timely words from one of my favorite saints of recent Christianity: Martyn Lloyd-Jones:

“I’ve got another name for all of you four-point Calvinists out there. Arminian,”
R.C. Sproul
Ouch! Hey, he said it. I just blogged it. What do you want from me?
