Jesus Changes Everything

We consider the first element of faith, notitia. We encourage the reading of T. Desmond Alexander's wonderful From Eden to the New Jerusalem, and look at Psalm 2.

I give thanks for an old friend. I seek partners in ministry. And I wonder over what it means that God is enthroned on the praises of His people.

We consider imperialism, question 90 from the Westminster Shorter Catechism and the biblical requirements for elders in the church.

Lisa and I discuss what it means to forsake all others, and I give a five minute overview of the I Thessalonians.

I give thanks for the friendship of Jeff Hixson, gentle and steady, list my 5 favorite Cary Grant movies and consider why so many non-Christians are so hostile to Christians.

We consider question 89 from the Shorter Catechism, seek ministry partners and unpack the Latin phrase, Intellectus Dei, the mind of God.

Bryan Marler, former pastor, fitness coach, Door dasher, joins me to discuss how the gospel shapes his approach to his work. 

We consider the heresy of kenotism and how it relates to the kenotic hymn, start a new series on the Psalms and consider how to deal with evangelists of false religions.

We show ourselves heartless when we use the tragic deaths of others to score political points. Plus, a 5 minute overview of Colossians.

I give thanks for a friend from seminary, seek ministry partners and consider why there is so much pretense in the church.
