Bibllical Reflections
Good Friday
This morning, I decided to read from the Synoptics’ accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke) of Jesus’ crucifixion. What a reminder of what my Savior had to go through because of me. I would highly recommend trying to read all three accounts today in one sitting. Here they are: Matthew 27 When morning came, all the chief [...]
The Road to the Cross: Tuesday
I’m preaching through Luke, but we’re moving a bit slower than the actual account. So I thought I’d post what happened this holy week through Luke’s eyes: Luke 20-21:4 One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up [...]
Saying Goodbye to Dear Friends: The Christ Church Send-Off
VIDEO PHOTOS (Photos by Jason Kim) MESSAGE By Faith: Leaving for the City By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land [...]
The Dangerous Bible
When the Bible was being translated in the vernacular, the Roman Catholic Church deemed such translations to be a very dangerous thing. Diarmaid MaCullough noted in his book The Reformation: Pope Paul V was perfectly serious when in 1606 he furiously confronted the Venetian ambassador with the rhetorical question ‘Do you not know that so [...]

Thoughts on Election (Part 1): Romans 9
I must admit, when I used to think about the doctrine of election, I wasn’t overtly thrilled of teaching this aspect of Scripture. When people would ask me about predestination, I would answer, “Well, that’s a weighty subject that probably couldn’t be discussed well in the time that we have, but here are just a [...]
Divorce-Permissible-For Any Reason?
Denny Burk has a nice summary of the debate by noting three views: Does God permit divorce? Not all evangelicals agree on what the Bible teaches on this question. David Instone-Brewer has written a scholarly book on the subject, but his recent article in Christianity Today has stirred up some conversation in the blogosphere. Instone-Brewer [...]
Trust When Mourning
Dane at Strawberry-Rhubarb Theology gives this quote by Sarah Edwards after hearing of her beloved husband Jonathan Edwards’ early death: My very dear Child, What shall I say? A holy and good God has covered us with a very dark cloud. O that we may kiss the rod, and lay our hands on our mouths! [...]
Does Membership Really Matter?
I was reading this post by Abraham Piper on a family that Bethlehem Baptist has chosen to reject as members of the church. I’m not even sure of the reason, but the fact that this man wants to continue to be a member is so counter-cultural to today’s world, that I almost think he should [...]
Moses’ Interracial Marriage
Did Moses marry a black woman? That’s the question John Piper answers in this post by 9 Marks. But it sure seems like Moses did indeed marry a black woman and when Miriam judged him for it, God judged her with leprosy! JP quotes the PCA’s annual meeting in defining racism as: “Racism is an [...]
