A Christmas Thank You To My Top Referrers

December 23, 2007

There are only a few more things I’d like to do before I shut down the blog for Christmas. Posting will resume on the 1st of January, but I’ve got something a bit different planned for that month. I’ll tell you more about that when the post I’ve written for that day is published by [...]

Review of the Blog – September to December 2007: John Owen and John Piper

December 22, 2007

During the months of September and October, I spent a lot of time quoting from a book Justin Taylor produced—a lightly edited John Owen. These can all be read on the category page for posts labeled “John Owen.” In November, I gave John Piper on N. T. Wright the same treatment.
I also wrote a post [...]

Review of the Blog – July to August: TULIP and Together On a Mission

December 21, 2007

Before going on a summer break, I ended with a post which expresses clearly the driving passion behind my life—I DON’T WANT BALANCE, I WANT IT ALL!
Other than that, and the posts on the atonement I listed in yesterday’s review, July was totally dominated (and rightly so) by Together On a Mission. This conference is [...]

Review of the Blog – May to June 2007: More Atonement Wars and Terry Virgo

December 20, 2007

May was not as controversial a month as I reported yesterday that April had been. I continued with the following posts on the atonement and the resurrection throughout May and also into June. In fact, there were a few posts on the atonement which spilled into July, and I have listed them here also. If [...]

Review of the Blog – April 2007: Atonement Wars

December 19, 2007

UPDATE – Steve Chalke has expressed his views more fully in a chapter in The Atonement Debate, and I have posted a response to this.
Today I will continue my review of the last year’s blogging which we began yesterday. April was a very interesting month for me on this blog. So much so that it [...]

Review of the Blog – January to March 2007: Preaching and the Voice of God

December 18, 2007

It’s time once again to review another year’s worth of blogging here at my place. I have made it something of a tradition to look back and reflect on the year that has passed. I have done this previously in December 2006, 2005, and 2004. The format is simple: I highlight some of the posts [...]

Review of the Year – My Life in Jubilee Church, London

December 17, 2007

For me, once I have prioritized my own personal inner life and relationship with God, then my dear family, a clear third place in my affections is given without a moment’s doubt to my local church. Family does come before the church, but of course our church is like an extension of my family and [...]

Review of the Year – The Warnock Family

December 16, 2007

The past twelve months have been relatively stable for us as a family. It is the first year for awhile that none of us have started a new job, or a new school (although Joel did move up from the school’s nursery class to reception). We have not moved, and we certainly haven’t moved church. [...]

Review of the Year – Personal Reflections

December 15, 2007

It’s that time of year again—the time when I reflect on the year that has been. I’m going to follow a structure in my reminiscing which will be as follows:

In this post I will think about my own personal life, and in particular my relationship with God.

In the next post I will consider my family.

Then [...]

Christmas Present Ideas – Bible Software

December 14, 2007

I have already told you how much I love books. Every book needs a Christian owner who will cherish it, care for it, place it lovingly on a bookshelf, and, ideally, even read it! But the truth is, with so many great books on the market today, most of us simply don’t have time to [...]

Christmas Present Ideas – Books

December 13, 2007

I thought I might make a few suggestions about things that your Christian friend might want for Christmas. It is no surprise that I suggest books first of all. I love receiving new books. When the doorbell rings, I thunder downstairs, hoping that tell-tale flat-box will be in the postman’s hand, announcing another book has [...]

INTERVIEW – Rob Rufus on apostles Today

December 12, 2007

In the previous segment of this interview with Rob Rufus, we finished by talking a bit about the network of churches of which he is a part. We ended with Rob speaking about a team of apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastors/ teachers. Today we begin by asking Rob what he means by “apostles.”
