I’ve been reading Tim Chester’s book, “You Can Change”. Some good thoughts on pastoring one another in the context of a gospel community. Some of his thoughts below:
Pastoral Care in Community:
Churches often have a very professional approach to pastoral care – it’s something done by a pastor or a counsellor. But Paul tells [...]

In light of what’s happening on Wall Street, here are a few verses that I need to be reminded of:
Psalm 20:7, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.”

Tonight, Amy and I are going to my 20th High School Reunion in Charlotte. If you want to know what I was like in High School, go rent Sixteen Candles and Teen Wolf. I was a combination of Anthony Michael Hall and Michael J. Fox in those films.
My Goal in Preaching…

“When my heart was opened to the gospel as it was preached to me as a child, I came face-to-face with Christ himself. True gospel preaching warms my heart because as I hear it, the Holy Spirit is bringing Christ to me once more, and once more he wins my heart.”

New Books on the Nightstand
Posted in 1 on September 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been reading a few books that are worth mentioning. The first one is “You Can Change” by Tim Chester. A great book so far that is about gospel centered growth in faith. Tired of “try harder/be better” approaches of growing in faith? Try this book out for a refreshing approach to following Jesus, struggles [...]
