Sad Pastor Jack
I really think I’m going to end up re-reading this book at least once a year: Counsel from the Cross: Connecting Broken People to the Love of Christ It’s that good. Let me share another excerpt with you: SAD PASTOR JACK Although Jack wasn’t raised in a believing home, he has loved God from his earliest teen years. A serious and bright student, Jack quickly came to realize that he was called to serve as a pastor. It was to this end that he went to college and seminary.

Yes, he obviously loves his wife and other kids too, and he is a man greatly loved by God—but his love for his disabled son, and his strong verbal gifts to communicate that love to us, make this blog a must read. Well. As long as you don’t mind crying a bit. Enjoy this taste of grace even in…

The Role of the Law in Our Sanctification
I am LOVIN’ my re-read of Dennis Johnson & Elyse Fitzpatrick’s excellent book: Counsel from the Cross: Connecting Broken People to the Love of Christ Let me share a few extended excerpts with you to hopefully encourage you on this brisk Thursday morning: “We must believe (and continue to “beat it into our heads daily,” as Luther once said) that God is perfectly satisfied in Christ’s sacrifice for us, that we have obtained full adoption, and that God is pleased with us and calls us “beloved.” These truths will stimulate joy and expand our faith … If we live by faith in Jesus Christ rather than by faith in…
