Memorial Day
Posted by Robin on May 26th, 2008I highly recommend this Memorial day post from Tom Ascol’s blog -
This patriotic song by Vladimir John Ondrasik III (”Five for Fighting”) struck me as a fitting tribute to our troops as we celebrate Memorial Day. Though the Kingdom of God must never be confused with any national entity and nationalism is no more fitting [...]
Read Your Bible?
Posted by Robin on May 25th, 2008Is it good to read your Bible regularly? Of course, but have you ever thought about the 1,500 years prior to the printing press when virtually no-one had their own copy of the Bible?
Did God leave His people without provision for those many years? Are we so arrogant that we imagine ourselves as meriting superior [...]
I have a Cold
Posted by Robin on May 24th, 2008I’ve had a well winter and spring for the most part but I picked up a nasty cold this week. Monday I was feeling great but flew a two day trip with a first officer who was suspiciously blowing his nose and trying to suppress a cough. And he was a new-hire still on probation. [...]
German
Posted by Robin on May 20th, 2008I have been told that my ancestors were German … a couple of thousand years ago they painted their faces and worshipped trees.
In spite of being descendants of idol worshipers God chose to be merciful to us … not only to us but to vast numbers of undeserving sinners. The true church [...]
Seriousness of Worship
Posted by Robin on May 18th, 2008“Remember the perfections of that God whom you worship, that he is a Spirit, and therefore to be worshipped in spirit and truth; and that he is most great and terrible, and therefore to be worshipped with seriousness and reverence, and not to be dallied with, or served with toys or lifeless lip-service; and that [...]
The Resurrection
Posted by Robin on May 18th, 2008“This morning early I had awakened and looked out. It was about four o’clock. The morning star was shining directly before our window in a bright sky. One part of the window was misty with frost, the other clear, and through the clear part the star shone most beautifully. I thought [...]
The Mystery of the Lord’s Supper
Posted by Robin on May 17th, 2008“Consider Christ’s readiness to dispense divine blessing in this ordinance. Jesus Christ is not a sealing fountain but a flowing fountain. It is but crying, and He gives us food. It is but thirsting and He opens the conduit. “Let him that is athirst come; and whosoever will, let him take [...]
Prayer for Tomorrow
Posted by Robin on May 17th, 2008OH LORD,
We rejoice in another Lord’s Day
when we call off our minds from the cares of the world
and attend upon thee without distraction;
Let our retirement be devout,
our conversation edifying,
our reading pious,
our hearing profitable,
that our souls may be quickened and elevated.
We are going to the house of prayer,
pour upon us the spirit of grace and supplications;
We [...]
Purity
Posted by Robin on May 16th, 2008May I dare to say that a church is only as good as the persons who are in them? Would you agree that a church cannot rise any higher than the level of leadership and membership? The truth of the gospel is the same but human the element often disappoints us. Let [...]
