Christian Life

I’m always trying to find these. So to save me hunting, I’ll put them somewhere.

(William Perkins, chapter 7 of The Art of Prophesying, entitled “Use and Application”)

What do I notice when I read what Perkins is actually saying (as opposed to what people imagine him to be saying)? He’s saying:

Picking up, again on this CHN article. The Bible is quite clear that it’s a fair question. Jesus did die for the sins of the whole world. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”.Just a small exegetical observation.

Ros wanted a copy of the sheet I prepared whilst at college summarising the morphological changes that take place when conjugating the 9 classes of weak verb.

Here it is Ros, and anybody else who’s interested: Weak Verb Summary Sheet

Thank you Mark Dever, in The Message of the Old Testament for this that I’ve never seen before:

Andrew Towner is very helpful on how a band leader can best serve the whole church.

Thanks Ros for pointing me to this which I hadn't seen before.

At times it was a real laugh-out-loud moment. At other times it was a little too close to the bone, in terms of things I've heard people I know say.

Now that’s provocative. That’s also one bright seven year old.

What’s wrong with the lolly-bag illustration? Two things come to my mind.

I'm finishing off preparations for a training day I'm leading on Saturday, entitled "Preaching Christ from the Old Testament".

The bookstall arrived today. The good John Telford, manager of Wesley Owen on Wigmore Street in London, was tremendously helpful in recommending titles for me and finding ones that our local Christian bookshops said they wouldn't be able to sell. Thank you John, and an excellent parcel of books it is. Shame the Griedanus is temporally unavailable.

Anyway, why did I not know of Mark Dever's The Message of the Old Testament before now? It was only published in May, so fair enough. But Mark sets out, for each Old Testament book, to print a sermon on the entire book. A brave project, but oh so helpful. So thank you Mark Dever too.

Thanks, again, David for this:

Indeed! And I remain convinced that one of the most important books of Scripture to teach our children is the book of Daniel.

"But you would say that", I hear. Yes - but which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Indeed! And I remain convinced that one of the most important books of Scripture to teach our children is the book of Daniel.

I've just stumbled across this article on paedocommunion.

So, to remind me where to find it in future, I've put a link to it here. Excellent.

(Given he mentions post-mill, presumably if I come back far enough into the future, I will see Bible-teaching churches across the UK that welcome children in this way).
