Jesus Wins! A short Poem!

This world has been bitten by the consequences of sin.

It is the state that we are all in!

God had one way to pardon us all from our sin.

God sent Jesus Christ to Win!

"On the Old Testament" Book Review

I just got back from vacation and I read Mark Driscoll's new book, A book that you'll actually read, On the Old Testament. It was a great concise overview book on the Old Testament. What I enjoyed most about it was his emphasis connecting our understanding of the Old Testament to the Person and Work of Jesus. It is a must read for any Christian! Pick it up! It is like 90 pages.

The Prayer of the Passionate Preacher

Dear Sovereign Father,

I long to be a man of the Book

To unpack its profound meaning

My prayer is to get lost in Your richness

To fill the hole that is in my soul

To read Your Words and let them linger

To see Your Holiness in each passage

To stop and be struck by Your unfailing Truth

To have my heart be Gripped by your Grace

To prepare each thought under the Holy Spirit's illumination

To make sure that I am percise all my preparation 

To cogitate over the meaning of the passage 

Never to miss the context, the text and the application

To preach each week with boldness, graciousness and truthfulness

To realize that the Words in the text set people free from bondage

The Words in the text open their eyes to their true state

To show them in the text Your unmeasurable grace

To show Jesus in the text and that He is the meaning of the text

To show them that Jesus is more than enough for this life and the next

Keep Believing

I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Ray Pritchard this last week and he was such a humble man. He gave me a nugget that I so appreciated. He really encouraged me in my preaching in adapting to my audience without watering down the message! 

Thanks Ray!
