Hey all … Praise the Lord. I trust your Sunday was good. It was good to be in worship and hearing Johnny Banks preach, “Who's Your Potter?” Great question. May the Lord shape us more and more to be like Christ.
Obviously, be praying for the people of Florida and Western North Carolina. If I find out any info on how you can help through our association, I will pass that on. You can certainly go to the SBC website or TBMB and find ways you can donate.
Here's some links:
Overcoming Spiritual Laziness … it happens. How do we fix it?
A Concise Theology of Failure … grace, grace, grace.
One Reason Preaching Matters … this is for church members too.
The Songs of Taylor Swift … a Christian cultural appraisal. How to think about the Swift phenomenon, as well. You may not have little girls or others, but you might want to pass this on. It's also helpful about how you might think about interacting with culture, as well as how to listen to or what non-Christian entertainment.
When Food Lead to Idolatry … recently idols have popped up in our sermons and the book of Revelation. Here's an article for you to “consume” on gluttony.
“Our sins are often as dear to us as our children: we love them, hug them, cleave to them, and delight in them. To part with them is as hard as cutting off a right hand, or plucking out a right eye.” -J.C. Ryle
In Christ,
Pastor Brandon
