John Owen on How Conscious Communion With Christ Keeps Us From Sin

September 29, 2007

In this extract from the forthcoming Owen book, John Owen reveals just how distant he is from many modern-day Christians. How often do we talk about a conscious relationship with the living Christ? How much do we truly enjoy his presence? How much are we aware of how precious he is? Is our failure to [...]

PIPER FRIDAY – Suffering and Healing

September 13, 2007

I’m back, but tired, and as usual, when I simply don’t have anything to say myself and it’s getting to the end of the week, I turn to one of the greatest living preachers—John Piper. Last Friday I quoted from his first talk in a series on suffering. Today I will quote from the second. [...]

PIPER FRIDAY – Suffering is Essential to Christians

September 6, 2007

John Piper has a glorious richness in his preaching repertoire. Almost every time he is invited to preach anywhere it seems he produces a brand new message. He makes the Bible fresh.

Mrs. Challies Says, "I’m No Blog Widow!"

August 27, 2007

Few readers of Christian blogs will have failed to come across Tim Challies, the uberblogger who will shortly become a Crossway-published book author. In fact, I’m almost willing to bet that no one will first hear of Tim’s blog through this post. If I’m wrong, do leave a comment to that effect and/or drop me [...]

THE GOSPEL – Do Nothing!

I Am a Blogfather Again

June 14, 2007

June 3, 2007

The earlier messages, “Revival” and “Reviving Prayer” [...]

Humility in All the Wrong Places

May 23, 2007

A dear friend of mine sent me this quote from G. K. Chesterton concerning what he calls the “dislocation of humility.” “What we suffer from today is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. [...]
