Glen Coffee ESPN Game Day Bio

I was watching ESPN College Game Day this morning and they showed a bio of Glen Coffee who plays for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He said that his greatest strength was his faith. He read a passage from Job that he says he uses as inspiration for his work ethic: “Do you give the horse…

Prayer Request for Playa Grande, Honduras

My church, Christ Church, EPC, has a daughter church in Playa Grande, Honduras. The following is a prayer request for that community that I received in my email this morning: The people in Playa Grande need our prayers. In the wake of this past Hurricane that hit Honduras this week, there was much rain that followed….

Matthew's Use of Isaiah 7:14—Can We Take the Virgin Conception Seriously?

With all of the interest in the historical Jesus and early Christianity as of late brought on by books like The DaVinci Code, the Discovery Channel documentary on the so-called “Jesus Tomb,” and National Geographic’s release of the Gospel of Judas translation, it has become well-known that the Greek word Matthew uses in 1:22, which…

Never EVER Count Out the SOX!

  The RedSox have now won 8 in a row when facing elimination in the ALCS! I CONFESS! I went to bed in the 6th inning. I actually fell asleep on the couch watching the ’08 season fade into obscurity. I had a dream that the Rays were celebrating on the mound. I also dreamed…

Morning Slap in the Face

“If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord’s will but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumption, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved. Do not suppose that the Gospel is magnified or God glorified by going…

But I don’t even know what to say … except let’s make sure we keep our Christian brothers and sisters that live in India…

My Christmas Wish List

When I was a little girl I would sit down with pen, paper, the Penny’s or Sears toy catalog and I would make a list of the gifts I wanted for Christmas. I would start with world peace, and food for the hungry topping my list and then dive right into the toys I wanted….

Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus

Yesterday John Stryder was not quiet himself, so I took him to the doctor. He has his frist ear infection. I feel so bad for him, but he’s taking it in stride. (like my pun) Anyway, as I rocked my little baby to sleep the words to the beloved old hymn Tis so Sweet to…

Revelation 4:8

We took John Stryder to the gardens on Saturday. He’d never been in nature like that before and I enjoyed watching him look at the flowers, plants, and wildlife for the first time. He kept turning his head trying to get it all in. Nature is small way that God reveals himself to us. And…

My Favorite Blogs

I like blogs.  They give you an opportunity to read directly from the pen (well, keyboard) of famous people and even carry on a conversation with them.  As an added bonus you can gain an appreciation for some writers from days gone by (a lot of reformed blogs meditate on Spurgeon or some of the English…
