In a booklet entitled, “Preaching for God’s Glory,” written for the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, Alistair Begg shares some practical points about his own method of sermon preparation, which he [...]

TECH Assistance – Scripturizer Pop-Up Broken

March 16, 2007

A rather handy tool that I have had on my blog for a while has suddenly stopped working. I have two scripts that are supposed to, between them, automatically create links for Bible references. I have noticed today that they have stopped working. Anyone got any ideas as to why that should be?

SERMON – The Reviving Power of God’s Word

March 15, 2007

The following is a full set of notes, including background information and quotes I used whilst preparing my sermon entitled, “The Reviving Power of God’s Word,” which was preached at Jubilee Church on the 11th of March 2006. This sermon was the third part of a series on Revival. The earlier messages, “Revival” and “Reviving [...]

Spurgeon and Millennial Mud Slinging

March 14, 2007

Well, I knew it would happen. People on both sides of the great premillennialist versus amillennialist debate sparked by John MacArthur have started throwing Spurgeon quotes at each other. I have been doing my best to stay on the sidelines on this one, and I haven’t even read the rest of Tim’s summaries of the [...]

The Risks and Rewards of Using Technology in Sermon Preparation

March 13, 2007

Note: I originally wrote this article for www.sermoncentral.com where it appeared on February 26, 2007. __________________________________________________ Technology helps me in both my sermon preparation and in my personal devotional life. By technology, I’m referring specifically to the Internet and Bible software. I love it and have no apology for using it to discover insights from [...]

IRAQ – A Clash of Worldviews

March 12, 2007

This story retold by Chuck Colson brought a little bit of warmth to my day. In all the horrors of the ongoing war in Iraq — and let’s not forget U.S. soldiers are also at times the ones firing on their enemies — a bit of humanity, or rather the image of God, shines through [...]

Lloyd-Jones Monday – The Doctor, Spurgeon, and Plagiarism

March 12, 2007

In today’s Lloyd-Jones Monday, the Doctor discusses the issue of “preaching other people’s sermons,” which he states is “a not uncommon practice.” “I have but one comment to make about this—it is utterly dishonest unless you acknowledge what you are doing. I never have understood how a man can live with himself, who preaches other [...]

Happy 10th Birthday Tamasin Joy Warnock

March 11, 2007

Ten years ago today I was experiencing very similar feelings to the ones I am today. I was exhausted, and in awe of my resilient wife for what she had just gone through. We had also had experienced a bit of concern about the birth which, like little George’s, had been far from straightforward. Like [...]

Another Warnock Boy is Born

March 10, 2007

We are pleased to announce the birth of our fifth child. He was born at 17-10 on the 10th of March 2007 (10/03/07 for the mathematically minded!). He was 8 lb. 13 oz. He took the Warnock family interest in the TV show “24″ a bit literally. He was born exactly 24 hours to the [...]

Shepherds Conference V – Al Mohler: Preaching the Cross, Not Human Wisdom

March 9, 2007

Dr. Al Mohler is next up at the Shepherds’ Conference. I just can’t get over how similar the line-up is at all these different conferences these days! You may notice a discrepancy in the numbering between my blog and Tim’s. This is because Tim has numbered one of his posts that discuss things that have [...]

Shepherds Conference IV – Lig Duncan on the Book of Numbers

March 9, 2007

Tim is doing a sterling job as usual live-blogging for us. I am especially enjoying his little throw-away comments that really give you a feel for what the place is like. My big question? How much “physical expression” is there in the worship times, Tim? Anyway, here’s a quote that stood out to me from [...]

Shepherds Conference – My Response to the Cessationist Challenge

March 9, 2007

Over on the Pulpit blog, Nathan Busenitz — who has graciously commented over here — has asked us charismatics to add any further killer arguments to his list of the top 10 charismatic objections to cessationism. I am not sure if he will have time in his seminar itself to address those that I offer [...]

Shepherds Conference III – C.J. Mahaney Asked to Preach by John MacArthur

March 9, 2007

Shepherds’ Conference III is a post with a set of notes which my buddy, Tim Challies, made of C.J. Mahaney’s gig as stand-in for John Piper. To play stand-in for someone like Piper has to have been slightly off-putting, even for a man like Mahaney! C.J. took the opportunity to talk about humility, and wisely [...]

Shepherds Conference II – Steve Lawson on Passionate Preaching

March 8, 2007

Over at Challies’ second live-blogging post on the Shepherds’ Conference, following John MacArthur’s dismissal of amillenialism, Steve Lawson struck a blow for the kind of preaching I have been talking about in my series on the T4G Statement Article 4. The last post in that series was entitled Must Expository Preaching Always be a Series? [...]

Shepherds Conference I – John MacArthur Dismisses Amillennialism

March 8, 2007

UPDATE – More on this issue in Spurgeon and millenial mud-slinging Once again, it’s time to remote-blog a conference my friend, Tim Challies, is so helpfully live-blogging. In the first session of the Shepherds’ Conference MacArthur came out strongly in favour of premillennialism (no surprise there), but what was a surprise, it seems, was the [...]

T4G Article 4 – Must Expository Preaching Always be a Series Preaching Through a Book?

March 8, 2007

This continues our series on preaching, which is based on the fourth article of the Together for the Gospel Statement. The previous post in this series was entitled “Are There Three Types of Expository Preaching?“ Tim Challies defines expository preaching as “preaching that takes the point of the text as the point of the sermon.” [...]

T4G Article 4 – Are There Three Types of Expository Preaching?

March 7, 2007

One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve been thinking and reading about preaching recently is that we can’t seem to agree on what “expository preaching” actually is. This is critical for our understanding of Article 4 of the Together for the Gospel Statement, which has prompted this series on preaching. Some seem to feel that true [...]

Should the War on Terror Be Economic?

March 6, 2007

Richard Rahn is an economist at The Washington Times, as well as Adjunct Fellow of Economics, Technology, and Democracy at the Discovery Institute. In yesterday’s Washington Times, he posted a column concerning the lack of economic development in most Muslim countries. The immediate challenge is this — shouldn’t we in the West be doing something [...]

John Calvin on the Inerrancy of Scripture and the Witness of the Spirit

March 6, 2007

There are those today who would argue that belief in the inerrancy of Scripture is merely a modern invention. In the following passage from Calvin’s Institutes, we see that the reformer could easily have signed the Chicago Statement. As a reformed charismatic, I am, of course, also intrigued by the concept of the Spirit’s work [...]
