Praying for Obama To Die And Go To Hell, A Translation

Excerpt from Steven Anderson’s sermon:
… you’re going to tell me that I’m supposed to pray for the socialist devil, murderer, infanticide, who wants to see young children and he wants to see babies killed through abortion and partial-birth abortion and all these different things — you’re gonna tell me I’m supposed to pray for God [...]

Romans 8:3-4 The Great Exchange

Romans 8:3-4 (ESV) For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according [...]

The Weight of the Commandments, Exodus 20:7

From The Week’s article, D.C.’s ‘invisible army’ for Christ:
What does the Family believe?
Its theology is vague, elastic, and focused on power. The basic precepts came to Vereide in a vision in 1935, according to the group’s literature. Living in Seattle, he came to believe that union organizing in the city was communist-inspired. Jesus appeared to [...]

You Better Know Your Calling

Praying and receiving prayer requests this weekend, I dwell on this thought by Mark Driscoll as I loosely quote:
“I had two seminary students come up to me to ask me about working in ministry full time.  You know the type: fresh faced, pastel colored knit shirts and full of enthusiasm.  They asked, “What’s it like [...]

I’m A Night Owl. Hoot. Hoot.

Fortunately, for me and your President, we know how we roll:
“I’m a night owl. My usual [...]

Oh, Don’t You Dare Tease Me!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa.
Is this video promising with the growth of the Muslim population?  How God is so good when He is the one who creates and forms all human beings in their mother’s wombs (Psalm 139:13 cf. Ruth 4:13)
Is this clip seducing us Christians to share and proclaim the love, grace and the gospel of [...]

How Did God Harden Pharaoh’s Heart?

“An eye witness who was also captured by the Islamic militants gave us details of how the pastor was killed. He told us they were [...]

Books For The Moment: Shepherding

Lecrae (via twitter) asks:
What are 3-4 books/authors that have heavily influenced you or that you’d recommend? Don’t hold back, I wanna know.
My response would have taken 10 tweets.
Since I own a blog, I will use it and then respond with a link back.
Since I am about all things pastoring and preaching, here are the books/sets [...]

In the immortal words of Tommy Boy, “It’s go time!”

Four months ago, God kept telling me that I should be leaving Gateway and be involved, somehow, someway with The Village Church.
Four months ago it didn’t make sense so I ignored it.
Yet, God won’t relent until He has it all.  Proof of that is the Holy Spirit continued to speak to me with all of [...]
