Worth Another Couple of Tries Again
Dragnet Fishing
“Grant great revival in the churches, of course,
But for far more than this, I pray for the West.
May fresh living water from Ezekiel’s temple
Gather and grow and widen and deepen
To inundate nations and all of their peoples.
I pray that the fish would be abundant and plentiful
And that You would make us all fishers of men.”

God’s Plan for the Jews
“In contrast, the soft supersessionist agrees [with the hard supersessionist] that the church is Israel now, and that ethnic Israel is currently not a part of the true Israel. And when it comes to the salvation of individual Jews currently, we also agree that an unbelieving Jew is in the same position as an unbelieving Irishman, or Chinese, or Navajo. But the soft supersessionist holds that the Jews as a people are still part of God’s purpose and plan for the world. The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. When the Jews are converted en masse, this will usher in the latter day glory, and the resurrection of the dead. In short, the status of the Jews with regard to faith and unbelief is relevant for the rest of the world.”

On the Deification of Diseased Daydreams
Introduction: The great Thomas Sowell has written a slew of books, and I in turn have read a passel of them. Part of making America great again is bringing back words like slew and passel. At any rate, Thomas Sowell has written a pile of books, and I have read 11 of them. To be …
Out and In
“All the promises of the Old Testament have come to fruition in Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:20), and hence, all who are in Christ have been brought into the true Israel of God. Unbelieving Jews have been cut out of that true Israel, and believing Gentiles have been brought into it.”

Grace Upon Grace
“I pray You would use our ministry this morning
To hasten the conversion of all the Jews.
Just as their rejection of their own Messiah
Has been such a blessing for the Gentile world,
I pray You would conquer the Gentiles still further
With grace upon grace through Israel’s conversion.”

The Christian Bloom
“Christianity is not a faith that was developed from scratch. Christians have always rested their New Testament on the foundation of the Old Testament. This means that we have always considered ourselves to be in some sense the true heirs of the promises God made to His people.”

In Defense of Worldview Thinking
Introduction: In conservative Christian circles, worldview thinking was quite a hot item for a while. Most recently, I reckon it became “a thing” among us during the Francis Schaeffer times, and it then burgeoned into something of an industry. In North American circles, the kick-off was Schaeffer’s How Shall We Then Live?—the book and film …
