A Slow Revival: 2/1/13 - 3/1/13
http://aslowrevival.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 4, 2013. From the Newsletter: God at work at First Baptist. This month, I want t. First, A baptism. Last week, Rob Guinen was baptized. Baptism is an act of obedience and a public commitment to Christ. Whenever you have a baptism, it’s a moment worthy of celebration. Es As a pastor, I can only feed you so much. If you live on one meal a week, two meals a week, you starve. I see people that are self feeding, they are actively seeking to grow as disciples of Christ, and help others...That ...

A Slow Revival: From the Newsletter: Keys to Unity: Part 1
http://aslowrevival.blogspot.com/2014/05/from-newsletter-keys-to-unity-part-1.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. From the Newsletter: Keys to Unity: Part 1. How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity, the psalmist writes in Psalm 133. The same could be said of churches. How good and pleasant it is when churches dwell together in unity. When they live on mission for Christ in unity. The church is called to unity. “ Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace”. The second key I want to mention today is that we must be forgiving. 3:12-13)...

Monday, December 30, 2013. From the Newsletter: Holiness and Resolutions. The list includes 70 resolutions that he makes, and taken as a whole, it’s a commitment to personal holiness, to living for God and the furthering of God’s kingdom with his face turned away from sin. 1Peter 1:14-16)”. Most importantly, all the way back at the exodus, God declares, 'Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy. But why is that the case? So what does this mean for us? Holiness requires great effort. You don̵...

Saturday, March 30, 2013. Is it the eggs? What’s Easter really about? This weekend, many will gather with their families, and enjoy great meals and watch their kids hunt for Easter eggs and gorge themselves on to much candy. But what is the point of Easter? Is it just the eggs? What’s Easter all about? Here are the facts. On Easter morning, the tomb was empty. It was empty despite the fact that it was guarded by Roman soldiers; and as much as the authorities might have wanted to they couldn’...Furth...

A Slow Revival: From the Newsletter: the foundation of Unity
http://aslowrevival.blogspot.com/2014/05/from-newsletter-foundation-of-unity.html
Thursday, May 1, 2014. From the Newsletter: the foundation of Unity. I’ve been thinking about unity in the church for some time, and the more I think about it, the more sure I am of this conclusion: Apart from the gospel, there is no unity for the church or the Christian organization. That they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 8221; (1 Peter 3:8). That’s a lot of oneness, and there’s...8221;, be...

http://aslowrevival.blogspot.com/2014/05/beat-it-into-their-heads-continually-by.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Beat it into their heads continually by Martin Luther. Something to chew on from Martin Luther, the great reformer, speaking of our tendency to default to works righteousness. His words are genius. Most necessary it is, therefore, that we should know this article well, teach it unto others, and beat it into their heads continually.”. Martin Luther, St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. Philadelphia: Smith, English and Co., 1860), 206. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Slow Revival: Don't Lose Sight of This!
http://aslowrevival.blogspot.com/2014/10/dont-lose-sight-of-this.html
Thursday, October 16, 2014. Don't Lose Sight of This! It’s the economy stupid.” It was an obnoxious, laser focus line that controlled everything that was said in the 1992 presidential campaign by Bill Clinton. “It’s the economy stupid.” Why did they have such a laser-like focus? Don't lose sight of this! In John 20 we read, “As the father sent me, so send I you”. 8220; hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word.

Thursday, April 24, 2014. From the Newsletter: Sovereign. God is on the throne. We need to remind ourselves of this often. I need to remind myself of this often. At times, we can look around and feel frustrated, and say “do you remember when? When it didn’t seem like culture was against Christianity. Do you remember when it seemed like God was on the move? And he remembers how he used to hope, and how he lost his hope, and he lays out his frustrations. But in the midst of that he says something profo...

Thursday, February 20, 2014. From the Newsletter: Thoughts: Four resources Christianity gives us for suffering. There are four key doctrines that make up the foundation of these resources for dealing with pain, suffering and evil. Together, these four key doctrines stand over and against the secular or deistic view that sees suffering as an interruption to be pushed away or drowned out, and show you how you can move through it with hope. Of the seeming irreversibility of loss" I mentioned this thought du...
