Thoughts of a Christian Husband, Father, and Pastor
It is very easy to get used to hearing excellent, biblical, engaging preaching every week. Praise the Lord that solid preaching is the norm, not the exception, at Grace Fellowship Church!
That being said, yesterday was an exception–God blessed the preaching of his word in remarkable ways so that it came with great with even more [...]
The Toronto Pastors Fellowship has come to a close for another season, and the Toronto Pastors Conference is just about to get rolling!
While the TPF page has a media library where you can download all the free sermons and papers for pastors, it can at times be cumbersome to have to download so many files. [...]
I just wanted to pass along word to those of you (especially those outside the GTA) who haven’t been able to make it out to the Toronto Pastors Fellowship meetings. Our media library contains all the messages (as well as the papers, in pdf format) that have been delivered at our monthly gatherings. There are also [...]
CH Spurgeon’s sermon “A Woman Which Was a Sinner” is based on Luke 7.37-38.
And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet [...]
Recently for my homiletics class, I was given the assignment of interviewing my favourite pastor/preacher on the topic of sermon preparation and preaching. I’ll post some of the excerpts here. If it should strike you as interesting (and if you’re a preacher, it should!), then you can download the whole interview transcript here.
Let me also [...]
By the lack of posting on my blog, you could infer one of two things. Either there’s nothing going on worth blogging about or there are too many exciting things going on to allow me time to blog. Believe me, it’s the latter.
There are many things I’m really excited about just in the life of [...]
This, of course, is following up on yeterday’s post, and continues where it left off.
Delight Drives Obedience
The heart which is converted is a heart that God has changed, so that is enabled to see that supreme delight is found only in God. This is why Jesus could say in John 14.15, ‘If you love [...]
Over the next couple of days, I’m hoping to toss out some snippets of thoughts that I’ve been reflecting on lately. I’d been hoping to develop each of them more, but time has not allowed. If any of them seem interesting to you, you can develop them on your own a little more.
Our pastor has [...]
There are at least two things keeping me busy–but also keeping me quite excited right now.
The first is preparing to preach for this Sunday at GFC. We’re going through a series on our 5 Core Values right now. The first two message have been on (1) Truth, and (2) Humility. If the Lord is willing, [...]
When I saw this I just had to…
I love our church. So does my pastor. A while ago he posted 34 things he loves about our church.
One Sunday night, when the weather was nice and the service had been over for more than an hour, and people were still hanging around talking to each other outside (because those of us responsible for [...]
Here’s something I wrote a few years back when the preacher was in Colossians (I think). I just came across it on my computer and so I thought I’d throw it up here in hopes that it might encourage some.
———–
“… strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might,
for the attaining of all steadfastness…” – [...]
Well, another year is getting underway at TBS. As a result, I’ll be away for the next few days at a staff / student retreat up north-east of here. Kirk Wellum (or “kwellum” as the preacher likes to call him) will be preaching several messages to us from the word. I hope to post some [...]
It never ceases to amaze me how God works themes into our lives so that we keep learning the same lessons in various places and ways. This past Sunday the preacher was preaching from Romans 13 and the Christian obligation to submit to authority, since authority is established by God. One of the obvious points [...]
So, you’d think a guy who blogs this much about his ‘manly’ truck would avoid referring to it as ‘cute’ wherever possible.
Well, Kerux is just full of surprises. The other day he called me to come help him put this cap on his truck, which I was glad to do. Afterward, however, I was quite [...]
Kerux sounds in with some important thoughts–well worth the read. Enjoy!
Mainline Christianity is Dead: And Why that is A Good Thing
Here’s a post that a few of you may remember. I posted it a while back on my old blog. I read it today though, and thought it might be worth revisiting. So here it is, with a few minor revisions.
