Death By Love – Pastoral Application of the Atonement by Driscoll and Breshears

October 11, 2008

Lloyd-Jones on Anger and Self-Control

October 6, 2008

The Doctor was given his nickname, I believe, not so much because of his medical degree, but rather because of the way in which he used his diagnostic skill to get to the root of the human predicament. This quote is a good example of that: To fail to control ourselves means a loss of [...]

Dare to Ask God for Success

September 3, 2008

Yesterday, at two different times during the day, I was confronted with the idea of God granting success to people. The first time occurred while I was reading the story of David and Jonathan where, in one chapter, the idea is repeated several times. 1 Samuel 18:5 — And David went out and was successful [...]

A Time for War and a Time for Peace

November 11, 2007

Today is remembrance day. It is the day which we hope ended war forever in the main countries of Europe. It is a day for silence, contemplation, and gratitude. The thought that strikes me is that what is true of nations is also true of individuals. We war and fight with one another, and just [...]

September 1, 2007

The British and the Americans are at war once again.
