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 [...]
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 [...]
When you ordain ministers who are known, proud and unrepentant sinners, don’t be shocked when you see your church shrink in size.
When you don’t call out sinners to repent and break themselves before the Almighty God, don’t be shocked when people are not attracted to God.
When you ignore the Holy Spirit of the Bible who [...]
This is a conversation between me and my girlfriend about Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers:
Me: Did you like the book?
Her: Oh I love the book. The main character, Michael, sounds exactly like you.

No.
Is abortion a choice? Is being gay a choice?
Or has [...]
This is why we need prayer. Everyday. For all things.

Let me say that because my strength and shield are of God that nearly all the time, I feel nigh invincible.
I am not so cocky that things won’t get to me and hurt [...]
Ignore this post. I had to blast this out. -Ed.
Lord,
This type of work beats me down. It takes all of my strength. I hate doing this line of work. I don’t care about technology. I would give anything to not know what I know.
I feel like I do nothing significant.
How do I go from the [...]
After a bit of an email exchange with somebody, I got a prayer over me. It is so good that I could not help but share (with her complete blessing, of course):
