The Value of Christian Friendships

Greg Jones, Dean of Duke Divinity School, was recently quoted as saying, "Holy friends challenge the sins we've come to love."

This quote is just but one reason we ought to be pursuing Christian friends and Christian fellowship. I've been convicted recently that maturity takes not only Bible reading and prayer, but also Christian fellowship.

Are you intentionally adding to your spiritual growth through Christian friendships?

Hope for the Small Church

There are saving works that God will only do through small churches and ordinary people, not through large churches and more sophisticated people.

The Lord said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'" (Judges 7:2)

Beware of missing your appointed fruit by envying bigger trees.

- John Piper

Stay or Go

"Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt" (Exodus 3:10).

Moses couldn't stay and still go with God.

God loves us too much to allow us to stay the way we are. We can't stay the same and go with God.

Are you willing to commit with the hymn writer, wherever He leads I'll go?

Anniversary -- No foolin'

Today is the 12th anniversary of when I became pastor of Moose Creek.

I can't help but think of the profundity of beginning a ministry on April Fool's Day.

Soli Deo gloria!

Biblical Authority

The message from Sunday, March 30 is now posted on the church web site. It's rather unique in that the original message was not recorded due to a technical error (I pushed the wrong button). So on Monday I recorded it as I preached it again in my office.

It's a good message about biblical authority. We need to master God's Word so that it can master us!

Let me know what you think.
