Preaching God or preaching Christ?

October 31, 2008 | 0 Comments

I just had a Jehovah’s witness knock on my door. Unfortunately they seemed to be in a hurry to move on and weren’t interested in engaging in a conversation at all. However, the tract she left with me is a fairly standard variety from the Watch Tower. What really concerns me though, about the tract [...]

God calls

October 29, 2008 | 0 Comments

The call of God is a fact found repetitively in scripture. Gods call is the basis of evangelism. Christians evangelise because God calls people – and God uses people to make His call known. However, the call of God is also an area of confusion. A few weeks back we looked into the how the [...]

Depravity

October 20, 2008 | 0 Comments

Having made the point that man is ruined due to despising the great worth of the creator God, I found while writing another post that I’ve never explained depravity, and given we’ve just done a series on the gospel, it is probably high time I posted on the subject.

BibleTech 2009

Five things

October 6, 2008 | 0 Comments

Hmmm. I’ve participated in meme’s before in my other blog, but haven’t done so here. However, Dominic tagged me last week and I only just noticed. In this spirit of this blog, I’ll keep this focused on what the Lord has done. 1) I wasn’t brought up in a Christian home, 2) I was seriously [...]

Purpose in being sick

October 4, 2008 | 1 Comments

Last week, I had a conversation with a friend who believes that it is not Gods desire that anyone be sick. In other words if we are sick it is because we are outside the will of God (exactly what the "will of God" is in this instance can be saved for another discussion). Needless [...]

Bearing with one another

October 1, 2008 | 0 Comments

Last weekend I had the privilege of again speaking from the pulpit and spoke on Ephesians 4:1-3 with the theme of bearing with one another.
