Prodigal God

reformed — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:46:39 +0000

Been listening to the Tim Keller audios from The Prodigal God. He talks about a new community and how when we turn away from God, we are actually breaking fellowship and community. There’s a nice twist to the well known parable by looking at it from the point of view of community/family/society…

Give me mine

He came to himself

To Be called your Son

And he kissed him

We had to celebrate

The True older brother

Equipping families to do discipleship

reformed — Fri, 01 May 2009 04:10:42 +0000

Desiring God is having a conference on Children Desiring God. One of the topics is on family worship and family church. Thought this was an interesting quote. Been looking to do family church in our home and bring about a time where Christ is consecrated and worshiped.

Jonathan Edwards declared, “Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church, consecrated to Christ, and wholly influenced and governed by His rules. Family education and order are some of the chief means of grace. If these fail, all other means are likely to prove ineffectual.” It’s still true! If discipleship is occurring in the homes of your church’s members, all other means of grace will become more effective. This seminar will equip you to train families in your church to be, to play, to learn, and to serve together in ways that will strengthen your entire congregation.

The Gospel Coalition

Been listening to some of the messages from the TGC. I am again reminded that the Gospel is moving people from worshipping idols to worshipping God. There are many functional gods in our lives. Stuff from money, to family, to kids, to work, relationships, etc. Tim Keller’s message was hit it right on the head, not only for ministers, but also for people needing the message.

People who hear the sermons are people who struggle and are tempted to worship idols. Things that act as a god but offer nothing in return except sin and misery. Sermons that are faithful to the word and preach the gospel offers hope in the power and work of Jesus Christ.

It is my continued prayer to see men and women come into a relationship with Christ and follow him.

Driscoll’s talk was one of a father to a son. He gave very practical advice for ministers in dealing with people. I think I will benefit in listening to it again.

Christianity Sweeping China

Christianity Sweeping China Chicago Tribune.

This is a good summary of the changes happening in China. Many of the photos are from the PBS documentary mentioned in a previous blog.

The Beijing’s Haidian Church was one I visited many years ago but has grown and expanded much, much more. Located near Beijing University, it caters to many of the student and young adult population. May God continue to bless His people in China.
