God's Purpose for His People

John Stott retired from public ministry in July 2007 at the age of 87. His last address before doing so was Our Christian task: becoming like Jesus. A life lived long for God brings a certain clarity of perspective, and here Dr. Stott shares God's primary objective for us.

Things Left At The Door

 

This morning as I was leaving the house to go to my sons first track meet I found a piece of paper attached to my door titled "I Am Not Ashamed"  I grabbed it and headed to the truck.  As we were driving to the meet in Dallas I took some time to read this 8 1/2  X 11 piece of paper and was amazed at how easy it is for Christians to twist the scriptures to make them seem to say what we want them to.

In this little article the author stated:

Asleep in the Garden

As a child I was always dissapointed, if not disgusted, that the Disciples fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth

When in the course of my career I dealt with questions of federal and state law, rightly understanding and applying the law was rarely as easy as looking at one line, or even one section of legal code. One needed to consider all of the other relevant code sections, and perhaps regulations and court decisions as well. Sometimes sections of the law were in apparent conflict with one another, and I had to determine which section(s) took priority. Sometimes a law would apply only if a certain test had been met or if another law didn't apply.

What are the Essentials?

I have come across this story before, and it has always made me stop and think, so when John Piper (another of my favorite authors) told the story again, I wanted to share it with all of you also.
