The Lord’s Day

George Orwell said, Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious. I’m not claiming intelligence, but I do think some restatement of the obvious regarding the Lord’s day is an eternally and spiritually intelligent thing to do. Even the phrase itself, the Lord’s day is instructive. It isn’t just Sunday or the first day […]

All My Service

The Intern recently posted 10 life resolutions that are essential reading. In light of my current concern, note number five in particular: “Resolved to be committed to the local church all my days, allowing nothing to stand in the way of this biblical imperative. Whether a full-time minister or not, the body of Christ will […]

Happy 10 year anniversary and one million MacArthur Study Bibles. As I said before, “If I was stranded on an island and could only have one print resource, this is the one I want.”

Genuine Religious Affections are Relentless

This fifth mark is acutely helpful but typically ignored in the attempt to identify gracious, spiritual affections. 5. Genuine religious affections are relentless. In other words, genuine affections are always increasing and developing. They are not stagnant nor are they easily satisfied with their attainments.

For the First Time in 28 Years

I did not go “back to school” yesterday for the first time in 28 years. The past six years I taught one or more high school Bible classes at our Christian school and the previous 22 years I made my way through the typical course of elementary, junior high, high school, (three) colleges, and then […]

Apple and Starbucks Sitting in a Tree

I hate to bump a substantial post, but seriously, Macworld just reported the upcoming marriage between Steve and the Siren. Admittedly I’m still not as much a music junkie as a java junkie, and I will probably never buy a track over Wi-Fi at my local third place. Additionally it is a tad irksome that you […]
