Our yearly income tax feast

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Every year, now, for a while, my family has set aside a time when we go out to eat together and celebrate God’s provision in the previous year. We began to do this after my Dad read and meditated on this passage from Deuteronomy 14. 22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that [...]

I first read this quote of Spurgeon from the blog, Worship Matters. I thought that it was a great follow up to what I wrote in the previous post. “Brethren, there is an abiding fullness of truth in Christ; after you have heard it for fifty years, you see more of its fullness than you [...]

a Biblical approach to music in the church

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Last Sunday at my church, Grace Bible Church in Moore, SC, Ben Ebner, who leads our music and corporate worship taught on a biblical approach to music within the church. Although the applications of the talk were specifically to our church body, the goals and principles that he presented were from scripture. This is perhaps [...]

a divine call to worship

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Finally, after an long summer of very little rain and much sunshine and heat, God called out to me with thunder and rain to praise Him as the Sovereign Creator. For the last couple months I have been working out in this record breaking heat. I have been waiting – longing for the day, as [...]

Let Us Celebrate!

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

What a wonderful reality to know that God has provided release from eternal damnation and wrath. As a child of God, we can never be a recipient of God’s wrath. Every last drop of God’s wrath has been poured out on Jesus Christ for those who believe in true faith. We are the objects of [...]

Remember the Good Things!

Friday, January 27th, 2006

The last couple of days have been somewhat troublesome for me. God has allowed some things into my life that cause me worry and concern. My humanity is wearing thin, but God’s Deity remains strong. I was reminded today to remember the good things that God has done; to recount the wonderful blessings which He [...]

God is precious

Thursday, December 8th, 2005

When I say that God is precious, I don’t mean it necessarily in a odd sentimental way. I just mean that he is of infinite value. God is to be treasured. He is to be valued above everything else. I just wanted to shoot a reminder to everyone and to my self, that God is [...]

The Gospel

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Wednesday, September 21, 2005, 07:32 PM – General There is no other truth that is perhaps more of a cause to worship God than the truth of the gospel. I come with all my sin, stain, shame and guilt – utterly repulsive – and I present it to a holy God. He in turn responds [...]

Faithfulness

Saturday, September 10th, 2005

I praise God for His faithfulness in my life. God’s faithfulness holds many attributes and has different appearances. But, because, God is God, His wisdom is perfect and His determined actions and His sovereign will is not only sufficient, but rather, supremely desirable. God is my loving Father, my best Friend, my Savior and Sustainer. [...]
