MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS-

“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

2Cor. 13:9 For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you be made complete.

Let’s face it, we are all pretty goofed up. Why would I say that? First of all we are all born flawed. Our very nature is twisted and distorted as a result of our fallen nature. It just gets worse from there. All our lives have been spent either being victims or victimizing others, both positions have their consequences. What is the solution? Redemption. You see redemption..

What Does Good Preaching Look Like?

19/12/2016 0 Comment

If man’s chief end is to glorify God, surely that must be the goal of every sermon – to move people to worship. A sermon is not a lecture; it’s not about putting across mere information. Of course preaching requires the communication of information, but we mustn’t stop there. We want the people of God to encounter God in preaching as his word goes forth. J.I. Packer once wrote: ‘The proper aim of preaching is to mediate meetings with God.’

I heard a while back of a course on preaching at Greenv..

We invite someone into our home during the holidays, someone who for one reason or another isn’t able to be with his or her family. Our kids have taken on the example, and now when they come they always bring someone with them. This Thanksgiving was no different.

Our youngest daughter and her husband invited a friend, Charles, who has been to our home before for the holidays. Ch..

As a child I felt excitement and anticipated traveling to see my family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was born in Boston..

The Breath of Life: Should Christians Agree to Ventilator Support?

“There’s nothing you could have done.”

My chief resident collapsed into his chair and rubbed his brow. “No.” He shook his head. “This is not okay. It’s not like she had COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) or something. She just needed dialysis. She just needed ventilator-support until we got the fluid off. She would have recovered in a day or two.”

“Her family said she wouldn’t have wanted the ventilator,” his co-resident reassured him.

“Really?” His voice hardened. “How well di..
