In the contex...

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS. SIMPLE TRUTH FOR A COMPLEX CULTURE. Thursday, July 1, 2010. As Sure as the Sun will Set. Life moves pretty fast, huh? This is totally normal, right? ASSURANCE OF SALVATION IN JESUS. I am talking about assurance of salvation in Jesus. I could just say that I want you to consider. More important than everything else. That would be true. I could just say that I want you to consider. Because we will strive in vain for salvation by any other functional, temporary means. CARRY IT WITH YOU.

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS: June 2015
http://josephgibsonelliott.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
GOD IS IN THE DETAILS. SIMPLE TRUTH FOR A COMPLEX CULTURE. Saturday, June 27, 2015. Grieving as a Grandson. These are the thoughts shared at my Grandma's Celebration of Life service, June 25, 2015. I thought it would be good to speak as if I'm inviting you into my own grief. In other words, perhaps my approach to grieving, spoken out loud, can help and encourage you, as you remember her with the smile that we all know she wants for us right now. Finally, my Grandma was so loving and faithful. I'm sur...

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS. SIMPLE TRUTH FOR A COMPLEX CULTURE. Monday, September 29, 2008. The Core of the Big Apple. God is more holy,. We are more sinful,. The Bible is more preeminent,. And the Cross is more central (and shocking and appalling and glorious),. Than we could ever imagine. God is in the Details. The above are pictures (not all that I took myself) of some of the things that I thought I should mention, and which, by the Sovereign grace of God, match the phrase that I have repeated before as de...

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS: What Do You Think?
http://josephgibsonelliott.blogspot.com/2015/03/what-do-you-think.html
GOD IS IN THE DETAILS. SIMPLE TRUTH FOR A COMPLEX CULTURE. Saturday, March 7, 2015. What Do You Think? You are not what you think you are. But what you think. Said D.A. Carson at the recent THINK conference at my church. The conference was entitled: The Weeping Prophet: Jeremiah Confronts the 21st Century. His point, I think, was that it matters what you think about! Because it becomes who you are. What does your mind first go to at a red light? THE BIBLE IS ALIVE. Are we talking about like the Monster B...

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS. SIMPLE TRUTH FOR A COMPLEX CULTURE. Thursday, March 26, 2009. Afghanistan on the way to Eternity.

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS. SIMPLE TRUTH FOR A COMPLEX CULTURE. Thursday, March 12, 2009. A Decade without Big John. I have no idea where to start this post.
