PROVERBS – What is a Proverb?

September 14, 2006

In our introduction to the book of Proverbs at Jubilee the preacher mentioned the fact that proverbs are not promises, they are principles. I have been thinking a lot about that since. My new friend, Dan Phillips, has some great posts about proverbs that, among other things, help to unpack that. I am sure he [...]

AUDIO – Sermons by C. J. Mahaney

September 13, 2006

C.J. Mahaney is well-known as the acceptable face of charismaticism. Until recently, C.J. was pastor of Covenant Life Church. After handing over this responsiblity to Josh Harris, some were led to ask the question I tried to answer in a previous post, “What is C.J. Mahaney?” If you’ve heard about Together For The Gospel, but [...]

MLJ MONDAY – Something Worth Fighting For, Part 1

September 11, 2006

The baptism with the Holy Spirit is distinct from conversion. That is how one could summarise the Doctor’s teaching on the subject of the Spirit. One perhaps unintended consequence of his ministry was that, in the introduction of this subject to reformed pastors, several of them went on to become reformed charismatic ministers, spawning groups [...]

9/11 – Five Years On

September 11, 2006

Today was a very warm day here in England. It felt like summer had returned. Yet, somehow as the day progressed, I wasn’t able to enjoy it. This wasn’t just because I was sitting inside working. It was instead because of all that today represents. It was because of the memories. It was because of [...]

CHARISMATIC DEBATE – Responding to Dan’s Objections

September 10, 2006

Last week I began my response to Dan Phillips by focusing on the importance of authentic relational Christianity.

September 7, 2006

SIN, PUNISHMENT, and MERCY Andrée here! I have been reading the Old Testament lately, and it started a train of thought which I’d like to share.

September 3, 2006

Hi, Andrée here again! Being in a household of six, with lots of work to do, I recently found myself in the throes of self-pity. All I ever seem to be doing, I thought, is cleaning up, cooking, tidying, rushing about, laundry, etc etc. In short, I was feeling a bit like a slave. So [...]
