It is sometimes so good to be overwhelmed. How I Read Dave Moore explains how he reads books interactively. Speaking personally, There are few better tributes to a Christian than to say “he is a man of good conscience.” Such a man will do only what is consistent with his conscience and will take no action contrary to it. He has carefully informed his conscience according to the Word of God and then carefully heeds it in even the most tempting and challenging of contexts. As Luther said so long ago, once the godly man’s conscience has been made captive to Good morning. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you on this fine day. There are a few Kindle deals today that are geared toward younger readers. Controversy and the Sin of Self-Importance Self-importance is an often-overlooked sin that breeds dissension.

(Yesterday on the blog: My Anchor Holds) A Life On The Frontier I think you ll enjoy reading this latest article by Chris Thomas. Was the Trinity Torn Apart at the Cross? Was the Trinity torn apart at the cross when Jesus cried “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jonty Rhodes provides an answer here. The Bird with a This week the blog is sponsored by Multnomah Books and is adapted from Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra’s new book Gospelbound: Living with Resolute Hope in an Anxious Age. Recently, a man approached me (Collin) at church. He was worried about the times we live in, and I couldn’t blame him. There’s a lot to worry about—a global pandemic, the economy, racial tension, political polarization, and an increasingly secular culture. But it’s not like this is the first time in history At one of the many shipyards dotting Canada’s East Coast, another great oceangoing vessel is very nearly complete, and in just a few weeks it will begin to transport containers across the Atlantic. But before it can embark on its maiden voyage, it must endure a strict regimen of tests. Waters flood the dry dock and, for the first time, the great ship floats. Its propellors rumble to life and it slowly steers into deep waters where it can test God’s will permitting Satan so far must make us patient, and yet His power restraining Satan from doing worse, must give us comfort. (William Perkins) ... Those who will not be persuaded now to fly to the arms of divine grace, which are stretched out to receive them, will not be able to flee from the arms of divine wrath, which will shortly be stretched out to destroy them. (Matthew Henry) ... ...what is the best means of cheerfulness in such a world as this? How shall we get through this valley of tears with least pain? I know no better means than the regular, habitual practice of taking everything to God in prayer. (J.C. Ryle) ...As I walk from the parking area to Nick’s grave, I pass by the final resting place of another man who lived only a short time. And from the gravestone, Aslan whispers to my heart every time… (For further context you’ll need to read “Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”) ...2020 was my first Father’s Day without a father; 2021 is my first Father’s Day without a son. The two key men in my life—the one who defined my childhood and the one who defined my adulthood—have both gone to be with the Lord. Both took with them a piece of my heart and together they have given me a great longing to be where they are. Christ come quickly! ... He never intended this world for our rest, and therefore never appointed us to take our ease in it. This travail is given to us to make us weary of the world and desirous of the remaining rest. (Matthew Henry) ... Only he who can say, ‘The Lord is the strength of my life’ can go on to say, ‘Of whom shall I be afraid?’ (Alexander Maclaren) ... Those are not likely to be skillful or faithful keepers of the vineyards of others who do not keep their own. (Matthew Henry) ...Good morning. May grace and peace be with you on this day and through the week ahead. Today s Kindle deals are a bit of a hodgepodge, but there are lots of options. (Yesterday on the blog: The Children’s Hour) When I Discovered I Had 3 Fathers This is quite an article by Blair Line. When my grandmother died in the summer of 2019, my family bought our black suits and dresses and packed our bags. After the service, a family I have come to love and appreciate the poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I find that wherever I am at in life, he has a poem that speaks to it. And that s the case today, on Father s Day, as I think back to the years gone by. His poem The Children s Hour is a celebration of his daughters and his love for them, and I think any father will be able to identify with it. Between the dark and the May the Lord bless and keep you as you enjoy him this weekend. There s quite a collection of Kindle deals today for a Saturday, at least. (Yesterday on the blog: It’s All Chocolate) The Good Commission I ve read many articles on a similar theme, but this one added an interesting element: the notion of the good commission. A Good Friday Ride Sophia Lee tells about an evangelistic opportunity and how it made her reconsider how astonishing and offensive the gospel is. It is one of the great debates of a privileged age: is dark chocolate superior to milk, or milk to dark? Both have their advocates. The ones who prefer dark chocolate boast of the flavor of cocoa that is undisrupted by excess sugar, that so wonderfully compliments the bitterness of a dark coffee. The ones who prefer milk tell that milk and sugar enhance the flavor of cocoa the way they do the flavor of tea. Cocoa is at its Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. If you d like to sharpen your knowledge of Job, Westminster Books has a sale on a pair of resources by Christopher Ash one big, one small. (Also, don t forget their spring clearance sale.)

Christians, Beware the Blame Game Carl Trueman comes Good morning. May the Lord bless and keep you today. Today s Kindle deals includes a nice list of theological works from Crossway. (Yesterday on the blog: Fruitfulness and Usefulness) Recognizing You on Father’s Day Even Though Your Hair Is Gray This is a sweet Father s Day tribute. In Praise of the Ordinary Fathers Making an Extraordinary Difference Speaking of Father s Day, This morning, with Father’s Day right around the corner, I prodded my usually matter-of-fact, non-introspective husband to dig deep Sunflower fields trampled, pumpkin patches trod under, apple orchards pillaged and wrecked. It has become a phenomenon of the Instagram era that fields ripe for harvest are also fields perfect for selfies. When the flowers are at their brightest, the pumpkins at their biggest, the apples at their reddest, word gets out, and crowds descend. One nearby farm had to close after an estimated 7,000 cars attempted to park in the streets around it. “By noon, the hordes were coming Good morning. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you today. Westminster Books is doing a little spring cleaning and that has led to some pretty good sales.

I wake in the night to the moon rising, hushed, over the lake. I sense it there, in the soft lapping of water, in May the God of love and peace be with you today. There s an eclectic little list of Kindle deals today. (Yesterday on the blog: This Broken, Beautiful World) Should We Quote the Bible to Non-Christians? George Sinclair asks the question in a Canadian context, but it extends far beyond our borders. It is rarely talked about, but many Christians today would say that you should not quote the Bible to a non-Christian. They might say that people who quote the Bible This special Free Stuff Monday is more than a contest. Core Christianity is giving away a free copy of their Gospel of John Bible study while supplies last. The Gospel of John is often recommended as the best place to start for a new believer, and yet its rich truths can’t be exhausted, even by someone who’s been walking with Jesus for decades. Exploring key biblical themes such as salvation, sanctification, and especially the deity, teachings, death, and resurrection of For some it was a day of great rejoicing. For some it was a day of deep distress. Though Solomon’s temple had long since been destroyed by the order of King Nebuchadnezzar, the people had now returned from exile and had commenced work on a new temple, a new home for their God. Once the builders had finished laying the foundation, the priests and musicians called for a celebration, a time to praise God for the work begun. Then, as Good morning. May grace and peace be with you today. Today s Kindle deals include what I guess we could consider some odds and ends. On Masks, Vaccines, and Church Unity I consider this one very, very important.
