How do you boast?

"He is the source of life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
Therefore, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord"."
1 Corinthians 1:30-31

God's Providence

Providence is mysterious. It must never be used to justify wrong actions or to mitigate sin: Isaac and his family are more than a little sleazy, Judas is a deceitful wretch, Haman is vile, and the Roman court trying Paul is more than a little corrupt. Yet God sovereignly rules, behind the scenes, bringing glory out of gore and honor out of shame.

"Worship " what do we mean?

Here is an interesting article by Dr. Harold Best, he was the former dean of Wheaton Conservatory of Music and Author of "Music through the Eyes of Faith".

Check out this article There are some amazing truths that he reminds us of. I found this to be both convicting and enlightening.

Racial Harmony

This morning a heard John Piper teach on racial harmony. His challenge was to parents that they would strive to raise up their kids in such a way as to honor God in their actions and thoughts about people who are different from them.

Do you struggle with people who are a different ethnicity? Or what about someone who has a handicap? How can parents help their kids develop a worldview that will help them to have a biblical perspective on these topics.

A new phase of life

I am an official student now at Moody Bible Institute. Here I am starting my studies this semester as a transfer student. Bring in some credits, I hope to complete the four year program in three years. Undoubtedly this new phase will bring with it many times of growth and many new experiences. I was challenged even yesterday by one of my pastors to really value and treasure this time at school. I am reminded of the quote from the movie " Saving Private Ryan" where Tom Hanks character says to the Ryan after they have rescued him, " Earn this" So here I am blessed with the opportunity to study the Bible let alone live in an incredible Christian community. What an incredible blessing it is that I must not take for granted. May I be found faithful in my studies and my time at school as God continues to prepare me for what He has in store. I reflect upon 2 Timothy 4:6-16 in times like these.
