2. I do enjoy the sermons of a Baptist preacher called Johnny Hunt and I listened to this one on Psalm 71 called 'Psalms we need to sing'
3. I was at an event that happens in our church recently and looked across the room and thought if I just spent my time making disciples of those in the room (and they of me) that would probably be time well spent. Jesus spent his time with a very small number of folk and the rest is history. With the help of the Holy Spirit (for more read Holy Fire)
4. We started our new series on Ephesians and I showed this film as an intro.
5. I have returned to using Robert Murray McCheyne's Bible Reading Method
MY DEAR FLOCK, -- The approach of another year stirs up within me new desires for your
salvation, and for the growth of those of you who are saved. "God is my record how
greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ." What the coming year is to
bring forth who can tell? There is plainly a weight lying on the spirits of all good men,
and a looking for some strange work of judgment upon this land. There is a need now
to ask that solemn question -- "If in the land of peace wherein thou trustedst, they
wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"
Those believers will stand firmest who have no dependence upon self or upon
creatures, but upon Jehovah our Righteousness. We must be driven more to our
Bibles, and to the mercy-seat, if we are to stand in the evil day. Then we shall be able
to say, like David – “The proud have had me greatly in derision, yet have I not declined
from Thy law.” “Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart standeth in
awe of Thy word.”
6. Someone I pastor has been visited by deep fear. I have recommended some time reading 'Surprised by God'.
7. I didn't know Luther was into journalling.
