The Conference Season is Upon Us

March 29, 2008

The 2008 conference season is upon us. If you haven’t finalized your plans to attend conferences, you had better move quickly as many of them are set to sell out as they did last year.
I will be attending two conferences, and will be live-blogging both of them. The first is a brand-new conference called New [...]

Love Your Local Church – She is Your Very Own

March 27, 2008

It was a real delight to read Tim Challies’ post several days ago in which he described his growing love for and commitment to his local body of believers. It is a post that has been on my mind for the past few days, and I would strongly encourage you to go and read that [...]

ASK THE DOCTOR – What Do You Mean By Unction in Preaching?

March 24, 2008

In a variation on the “Ask a Blogger” theme, I received this e-mail, which was effectively asking Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones a question.
“I have been doing some research lately on the revivals in Wales and the ministry of Christmas Evans and have come across an emphasis in the Welsh Revivals and in Lloyd-Jones on unction in [...]

I wanted to share a brief video greeting with you this Easter, and to point you to three sermons I have preached that you might find interesting at this time of year. The first two are my Easter Sunday sermons preached the last two years. The third is not an Easter sermon, but it is [...]

Obama Addresses the Race Issue Head On

March 19, 2008

I am not an American. I don’t like to interfere with American politics. This post should certainly not be construed as any kind of endorsement or rejection of any particular candidate for President of the United States. Last time I checked, only Americans have the responsibility of selecting the leader of the free world! I [...]

ASK A BLOGGER – What Will the Baptism of the Holy Spirit Mean To Me?

March 18, 2008

Today we come to the sixth question that my e-mail correspondent asked:
What will all this mean for me—will I have to stop being a conservative reformed believer? If not, what do people like me do differently after we receive the baptism of the Spirit in our churches?In answer to your first question, of course not! [...]

Martyn Lloyd-Jones Monday – The Spirit and the Word

March 17, 2008

If you have been reading the blog for the last week or so, because of my series on baptism with the Holy Spirit, you might be forgiven for thinking that I was just a raving charismatic. The truth is, I am eager to emphasize the work of the Holy Spirit. But that is not all [...]

Its not complete. Several important features do not work yet. BUT, you can now get Logos Bible Software to work on a mac! I really, really like the interface. If you own a mac, and either have a second PC or run parallels there is no no reason NOT to buy [...]

How to Build Multicultural Churches

March 16, 2008

Thankfully, many people today seem to have moved on from the ideas of the “homogenous church growth principle.” I never could see how that whole idea wasn’t just a thinly veiled form of racism, or at the very least, an accommodation with the racism of others. I think I would prefer to be a part [...]

ASK A BLOGGER – What Do I Do Now?

March 15, 2008

Today we reach the fifth of my correspondent’s questions. It is, in many ways, the most admirable and crucial of all of them.
Having not been baptized by the Spirit, what would you recommend that I do now?
I began to answer this question in some ways in my previous Ask The Blogger post. In essence, the [...]

My 3,000th Blog Post

March 14, 2008

3,000 posts—that’s some kind of milestone, I guess. It means that while I may not have been blogging for as many continuous days as Challies, I have been cranking out posts at an average rate of over 1.6 a day for almost five years despite my intermittent blog breaks. I thought that I would comment [...]
