Tuesday, November 15, 2011. THE FATHER’S RESPONSIBILITY IN PARENTING ADOLESCENT SONS. Well-known pastor and theologian John Piper recently wrote in his little book What’sThe Difference. That one of the contemporary church’s most devastating sins is its lack of spiritual leadership by men at home and in the church. Piper laments that spiritual aimlessness, weakness, laziness, and a lack of courage characterize today’s men. [1]. Where are these men? This purpose of this paper is to exhort, encourage and eq...

Pastor Rick's Musings: Biblical Essentials for Discipleship Counseling

Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Biblical Essentials for Discipleship Counseling. The Necessity of Proper Preparation. Mark Shaw in his helpful book, Strength in Numbers,. While it is true that Christians can minister to one another from the inception of their new birth, it is equally true that it is God’s intention that they be properly equipped for ministry. The Bible states this truth clearly in Eph. 4:11-12, “And He gave some as. Apostles, and some as. Prophets, and some as. Evangelists, and some as. He writ...

Thursday, March 17, 2011. The Enemy Within: A Book Review. Kris Lundgaard bases The Enemy Within. On two classic works by the Puritan theologian, John Owen, Indwelling Sin. And The Mortification of Sin. Lundgaard mined these works desperately seeking help with his own sanctification and battle against sin. He found the help for which he was searching, but with much labor due to Owens style and tedious seventeenth century language. I wish I felt the same. The author divides The Enemy Within. Indwelling si...

Thursday, November 13, 2008. Why I Don't Believe in a Pretrib Rapture of the Church and Why I'm not a Dispensationalist. Were based on this theological system. What are the origins of dispensationalism? I recognize that in America the idea Christians will suffer is not popular, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. In 2 Timothy 4:3 (NASB95) the Scripture says,. Don’t take my word for it. Study God’s Word for yourself and pray that the Spirit will teach you. Please let Scrip...In closing, I wan...

Pastor Rick's Musings: Eschatology
http://pastor-ricks-musings.blogspot.com/2012/05/httpwww.html
Monday, May 14, 2012. Lately, I have been asked a lot of questions about eschatology. Hoekema's book (see the link below) covers this subject biblically, graciously and thoroughly. I highly recommend it. However, be warned. If you are a person who has only been exposed to "popular eschatology," reading it may be a bit unnerving. Hoekema is amill, but he does a good job of graciously unpacking the other positions. Http:/ www.amazon.com/The-Bible-Future-Anthony-Hoekema/dp/0802808514/ref=sr 1 1?
