November 30, 20092009 Ambition Audio (Acts 29 Bootcamp)
November 28, 2009The Acts 29 Bootcamp with the theme of Ambition held at Sojourn in Louisville was, in the opinion of many, the best bootcamp they have ever had. The line-up was top notch, and the messages were excellent (including the breakout sessions). I encourage you to download these messages and give them a listen, especially if [...]
The Good News of Christmas at Grace
November 23, 2009About six weeks ago, I received in the mail a bag that said “The Good News of Christmas.” In the bag was an ESV New Testament, a personalized invitation, an ESV Study Bible trial for 30 days, and a tract by Max Lucado. After discussing this with our pastoral team, we felt that this was [...]
Heart Idolatry and the Gospel Seed
November 19, 2009The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and that power is demonstrated in all three tenses of our salvation–justification, sanctification, and glorification.

Charles Finney, Cooperation, and the GCR

As you know, this issue has been with us [...]
Acts 29, State Conventions, and Acts 1:11 Conference
November 12, 2009This week is a rather interesting week in the life of the SBC. Three meetings took place in the SBC world which are worth noting, especially in comparing and contrasting them. They are: 1. The Acts 29 Ambition Bootcamp held at Sojourn in Louisville 2. The respective state convention meetings across the country 3. The [...]
Shafia’s Story – What’s Yours?
November 10, 2009This past Sunday was dedicated as the International Day of Prayer. Take four minutes to watch Shafia’s story. Please. And then take four minutes to replay the story of your life. Does being a Christian mean anything different here than in the land of our slain brethren?
We ought to be ashamed we are no more affected with the gospel.
November 9, 2009One of the most sobering and soul-stirring quotes from the pen of Jonathan Edwards: If true religion lies much in the affections, hence we may learn what great cause we have to be ashamed and confounded before God, that we are no more affected with the great things of religion. God has given to mankind [...]
Living the Day Before
November 5, 2009Some excellent words by Michael Spencer: Live each day as the day that all of the Gospel is true. Live this day and be glad in it. Live this day as the day of laying down sin and taking up the glad and good forgiveness of Jesus. Live this day determined to be useful and [...]
