I have never considered myself an expert on all things musical. I mention what I believe to be good music because of what it does for my soul. With the recovery of the gospel in all its beauty, this movement of God needs gifted men and women to lead us in singing the gospel. Again [...]

September 19, 2011All Our Sin for Your Grace
August 15, 2011Yesterday, I had an opportunity to preach at Grace Gathered from Luke 7:36-50. I wanted to show how the grace of God builds a genuinely loving community of forgiven sinners. Luke’s account of Jesus’ interaction with the “woman of the city” is a truly remarkable testimony of sheer grace. This morning, I listened to the [...]

The Gospel Song

Thoughts on Gospel-Centered Worship
September 10, 2009Let me begin by saying I am not a “worship leader” in that I do not lead in singing, and the limits of my musical talent is that of beating a drum. Nevertheless, I want to talk about worship, in particular how the gospel informs and shapes not only the song but also the structure [...]
The Jesus Storybook Bible
September 8, 2009Yesterday was an especially exciting day for the Brister family. No, we didn’t do anything out of the ordinary for Labor Day. What happened was we finished the Jesus Storybook Bible for the first time. God has used this little resourced by Sally Lloyd-Jones to turn our times of family worship as the most exciting [...]

You Said
February 27, 2009This song always moves me–to sing of what God has said and hold fast to His promises with confidence in Christ to fulfill His purposes in bringing glory to Himself.
