Man shall not live on bread alone…

I came upon the following post quite randomly while reading a review of the popular and infamous book “The Shack”. The post has nothing to do with “The Shack” whatsoever, so set your mind at ease if you suddenly felt the irrepressible urge to close this window and move on, which I’m sure some did. (It always amazes me, how we can be drawn into such controversy – we all have discernment, we all have a Bible, and we all have the same Spirit of God alive inside of us, yet we so often disagree…)

Anyhow, the following post is about something else. Something some would call more controversial. Others would call it boring, or not applicable, or confusing. Whatever you call the topic, the writer has turned it into a delightful piece of bible study. I was really impressed. Now, for the name of this topic – Leviticus.

Here’s the post, written by Kevin Rhyne at his blog “This Bread Always”. Tell me what you think.

Jesus Christ, The Bridge to Life

Amazing video. I love it! It’s one of the Jesus widgets.

How He loves you

Christmas time

I read an article by RC Sproul on his site , Ligonier Ministries. It’s about Christmas.

That word brings up different connotations for different people. Quite a few friends of mine don’t believe in Christmas. Does that shock you? I’m used to it by now. To them, Christmas was started by people who wanted to keep the Roman peace by combining a pagan celebration with a christian theme, creating compromise. Since then it has undergone a metamorphosis and is now the epitome of commercialism.

Yes, I know, it’s a somewhat pessimistic view of things. Which is why I want to refer you to the Sproul article, where he talks a little about this. It’s brief, but concise, and it encourages one to worship the glorious God that could sabotage that “pagan ritual” and command it to glorify Him by stamping his name all over it. That’s how I choose to see it. (As to the commercialism however, its up to you how you avoid that one. )

Tim Challies – Our role in evangelism

And here’s another Tim Challies article. Good, but I think it’s incomplete. He would have done well to do more scriptural research, but I don’t think this was meant to be an in depth discussion. I thank him for the corinthians reference to unbelievers attending a church service. I’ve never made that connection before.
