In my work setting, I’ve done a Holy Week meditation each day this week. This is today’s Good Friday meditation. My mother had an unusual experience as a teenage girl. She was present at the last public hanging in the United States. She recalled that day in the mid-1930’s very clearly. It was, she said,Continue reading “In The Study: My Good Friday Meditation”

Thirty-Two Rooms and No Way Out: Adventures in Bookstore Claustrophobia
This post is an odd soup. Call it one part “Second Half of Life,” for just getting old and pathetic; one part “In The Study,” for the sermon idea I’ll get out of it; and one part “Parable, Metaphor and Illustration” for what you can do with it. Laugh at me, with me, and thenContinue reading “Thirty-Two Rooms and No Way Out: Adventures in Bookstore Claustrophobia”
In the Study: Christianity For Beginners (7 Sermons)
In The Study posts examine actual sermons I preach. These are primarily, chapel messages, preached to approximately 450 students/staff from all over the world. My goal is to provide models of evangelistic, apologetic proclamation to those who might be engaged in similar ministry. Every year I do a sermon series with the purpose of layingContinue reading “In the Study: Christianity For Beginners (7 Sermons)”

Books Worth Reading in 2007
UPDATE: What if the TR watchbloggers fisked this post for orthodoxy? It might look like this. I am frequently challenged in comments around here to come up with some kind of a book list. I’ve published a list of authors before, but never a list of books that I would recommend. The reasons became evidentContinue reading “Books Worth Reading in 2007”
A Pointed Question: Why Not Rather Suffer Wrong?
(The following post is a summary of a recent chapel message. I originally thought of the message after hearing C.J. Mahaney teach on the passage. My use in chapel and here is my own, but I acknowledge his excellent exposition and application as my starting point.) I Corinthians 6:1 When one of you has aContinue reading “A Pointed Question: Why Not Rather Suffer Wrong?”
In The Study: Five Questions From Mark 10:17-27
In The Study will share some of my preaching ideas and outlines with those of you who do Christian communication in ministry. Mark 10 is a favorite evangelistic chapter. Every preacher has taken this text and used it to introduce the basic ideas of the Gospel. I’ve used it many times. (NLT) Mark 10:17 AsContinue reading “In The Study: Five Questions From Mark 10:17-27”
Galatians 4:6 and The Trinity
Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!†A few thoughts about this verse, not to take issue with anyone, but to say I think there’s more theology in the Bible than we sometimes think. I agree with most Christians that theContinue reading “Galatians 4:6 and The Trinity”
