“God and God alone who makes certain that a portion of His Word falls upon good ground.” - R.C. Sproul Ligonier Ministries has a magazine called TableTalk named after the dinner discussions of one of my historical heroes, Martin Luther. Recently, R.C...
This is part two of a series on biblical illiteracy and its effect on American culture and the Church. I never thought of Billy Preston as a preacher. But his words, more often heard in commercials nowadays, ring true in this age of biblical inerrancy...
No score and three years ago I came to the Bible Belt Where churches are custom as Scions And as holy, Catholic and apostolic As Gander in Turkey Creek....
This is part one of a 9 to 10-week series on biblical illiteracy and its impact on America and within the Church. My life’s ambition is to be a sponge. While most will find that statement curious, I believe it is all by grace. Sponges absorb liquids quickly...
“Who is He? If He was just another prophet, His resurrection is little more than a historic curiosity.” –Kevin DeYoung The opening words of Kevin DeYoung’s main session sermon were these, “You don’t know me...
“Never put the accent on the appearing and focus on that. Put the accent on Jesus.” –Sinclair Ferguson “It’s almost a psychological-spiritual paradox,” Ferguson said as he began the final session of Next 2009...
“Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways...
“It’s one thing to say that Jesus is preeminent. It’s another thing to live like Jesus is preeminent.” –Joshua Harris In my Merriam-Webster’s Pocket Dictionary, the word preeminent means this, simply “having highest rank.” A synonym for this word may be the priority...
“We can never think of His death too often. Everything else can wait.” –C.J. Mahaney Before C.J. preached this sermon, I prayed to God that he would preach a sermon on one verse. Mark 15:34 was the verse...
“For (the Apostle Paul), gospel-centered meant gospel transfer.” –Dave Harvey “I can very much relate to the description of Timothy: humanly speaking, hopelessly unfit...
“We are desperate for the will of God because we are searching for perfect fulfillment in this life.” –Kevin DeYoung Out of all the sessions at Next, I believe I expected the least out of Kevin DeYoung’s breakout session for the men...
David and I found that it was difficult to blog a conference that you are attending. Usually the culprit was that little black “Next” wristband we all wore...
“The whole expression of God is Jesus.” -D.A. Carson Rather than turning to the Christmas narratives for his sermon on Christ’s incarnation, Dr. Don Carson came to Next with one purpose. He wanted to tell the Next generation about the gravity or the full implications of Jesus’ birth...
It’s hard to blog at Next. Every year I try, but I always end up discussing the messages and the things of God with fellow Nexters. It’s great! I love it. I will eventually get Session One up…just give me a a little time. For now read about Session Two.
Only rich people can be bored. Though many people coming to Next would call themselves “poor” or “broke,” the fact remains that you cannot be bored if you have little money. A slacker expects and demands entertainment...
Next ‘09 is tomorrow. Hope you will be there. If not, check back regularly. B2C is covering the event. THISisNEXT…tomorrow.
“Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of Davis, as preached in my gospel.” –2 Timothy 2:8 A year and a half ago, I forsook Christ for a concert...
I just stumbled upon this video ofRachel Barkey, a 37-year-old wife and mother of two who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Two months ago Rachel shared her story and her trust in God with over 600 women. I was deeply moved and affected by her story and her passion to know God...
Where do you go When the megachurches close And you’re late for mosque Or still have desire? Does suffering merit a crutch...
I would love to get this illustrated book one day. John Piper’s poetry based on the Old Testament book Job will challenge our heart response. This is a beautiful glimpse of God’s grace on those suffering. www.jobthebook.com
“If, therefore, we are taught, and if we believe, that we ought not to know the necessary prescience of God, and the necessity of the things that are to take place, Christian faith is utterly destroyed, and the promises of God and the whole gospel entirely fall to the ground; for the greatest and...
By: Nathan Simmons “Regeneration is the beginning of all saving grace in us, and all saving grace in exercise on our part proceeds from regeneration...
When I was twelve years old my dad put a vision of grandeur in my head...
On the cross Jesus Christ bore the wrath of God for sin and His perfect righteousness was credited to believers (the great exchange)1. This is the most perfect picture of justice and love ever...
Bound to Christ is prepping for The Triumphant March of Grace Big Series. Be sure to check it out.
One God - Three persons. Father, Son and Spirit. When I think big things through, my first temptation is always to just look up what smarter people have already said. But right now, I’m going to try to wrestle with this one for awhile on my own...
When was the last time you took time to examine the impact of media in your life? Chances are that today you have either read multiple blogs, watched a news program, plugged in an iPod, watched YouTube, turned on the television, watched a movie, played a CD, gotten on to Facebook or Twittered...
The NIV has come out with a new version: Today’s New International Version Bible...
Here is a short clip from a sermon by Matt Chandler given a the Desiring God 2009 Pastor’s Conference. A question popping up all over America is, “How should we preach the recession?” This is what Chandler says:
There is a type of depression that no doctor can reccomend a prescription for. Spiritual depression plagues the Christian in places no earthly doctor can treat. When facing spiritual depression, we need to be treated spiritually. First, let’s start with the definition of spiritual depression...
Well, apparently they never left. However, the problem of indulgences has returned in a less offensive way. The Catholic Church recently announced they will be offering plenary indulgences in celebration of the Pauline Year1...
What is love? Love is one of those things you just can’t describe in words, but you know it when you see it. That still doesn’t make the question any easier to anwser. Love makes us do a lot of things, some good, some bad, a lot of them stupid and not thought out, or so it seems...
Bound to Christ The Triumphant March of Grace: A B2C Big Series coming March 2009.
For some reason, the talk on campus ministries is always courtship and dating. Sometimes it can seem like the only conversation alongside whatever Allison is reading in Romans, Justin Day’s latest Manspeak article and how Emergent church leaders never follow Scripture...
Earlier this week I was reading a chapter in Martin Luther’s The Bondage of the Will, and I was intrigued by the basis of his argument. Essentially, he is combating Erasmus’ understanding of the human will with our understanding of God’s sovereignty...
It is vital to distinguish between earthly knowledge and Biblical knowledge. Too often, people can seek knowledge, even of Scripture, with proud motives and not with God’s glory in mind. Your theological know-how somehow ranks you above other Christians...
I love this acronym by Jerry Bridges: God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense = GRACE. Grace is God’s free and unmerited favor shown to guilty sinners who deserve only judgment. Praise the Lord for His mercy! So what do we do from here...
