Are You like the Tree Planted Near a Stream?
by Bill Blair on 05/10/09 at 7:10 am
Which form of vegetation describes your life? Are you a tree near a stream or a shrub in the desert?
“Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see [...]
Resurrection: Our True Hope
I am afraid that most do not quite grasp the significance of resurrection in our day. I think if you asked, most people see Heaven as the believer’s immediate destination after death, but that is NOT what our hope is based on. As believes, we don’t look forward to a disembodied existence in the spiritual [...]
Full StoryThe Ultimate Stimulus Package?
If you happened to flip through the channels on TV this past week you might have noticed that TBN was running a “Spring Prais-a-Thon” to raise money. You may be more disciplined than I, but when I see train wrecks happening I always seem to have to stop and watch. I really need to repent [...]

Full StoryTo Eat or not to Eat: Will there be Breakfast in Heaven?
Well, the couple singing below says no, and they praise God with it. I say yes because we will be resurrected into physical bodies, but really this post is not about a theological discussion because this video is just funny. Enjoy: (You may need to click through some feeds to see it)

David Powlison on Time Management
C. J. Mahaney has been doing a series of interviews on his blog and right now he is interviewing David Powlison. Powlison is probably the leading mind in biblical counseling today. Yesterday, Mahaney asked Powlison to give a piece of advice that has helped him to effectively use his time. His response is very interesting [...]
Full StoryPiper on “All Truth is God’s Truth”
John Piper wrote an interesting article about the concept of “all truth is God’s truth.” The post is titled, “All Truth is God’s Truth,’ Admits the Devil,” and it can be read here. Piper suggests that it is not enough to know something factual or as being true, but such “truth” should be utilized to [...]
Full StoryAre you in a Church or a Club?
Below is a short video of John Piper talking about how the church is supposed to take care of one another. He is spot-on in this snippet. I would add that taking care of people should not be relegated to simply having a benevolence fund for people in need. Benevolence funds are good, but we [...]

Empathetic Disagreement
Jay Adams wrote a very helpful post titled “Nobody Understands” that can be read here. The main point of the article is to show how we can be understanding of people’s problems, but still point out what they need to change. Here is an excerpt:

Russell Moore takes on this interesting question in a post that can be read here. Below is a brief excerpt, but go read the full post.
A Christian marriage, however, is a one-flesh union. What is true of the one is true of the other. A prenuptial agreement in a Christian marriage makes about as much sense [...]

The Cross & Children’s Ministry
One thing I have realized is that it is easier to teach obedience alone than it is to teach grace alone which leads to obedience. Whether it is adults or children, it is always easier to say, “don’t drink, don’t do drugs, don’t have sex (outside marriage),” or on the flip side to say, “work [...]
