This is the Bible Reading plan that I use. You can go here to find all sorts of tools regarding RMM. I’m also reading his memoirs. The more I find out about RMM, the more I want to use his reading plan.

I must admit, when I used to think about the doctrine of election, I wasn’t overtly thrilled of teaching this aspect of Scripture. When people would ask me about predestination, I would answer, “Well, that’s a weighty subject that probably couldn’t be discussed well in the time that we have, but here are just […]

Denny Burk has a nice summary of the debate by noting three views:
Does God permit divorce? Not all evangelicals agree on what the Bible teaches on this question. David Instone-Brewer has written a scholarly book on the subject, but his recent article in Christianity Today has stirred up some conversation in the blogosphere. Instone-Brewer argues […]

Dane at Strawberry-Rhubarb Theology gives this quote by Sarah Edwards after hearing of her beloved husband Jonathan Edwards’ early death:

Did Moses marry a black woman? That’s the question John Piper answers in this post by 9 Marks. But it sure seems like Moses did indeed marry a black woman and when Miriam judged him for it, God judged her with leprosy!
JP quotes the PCA’s annual meeting in defining racism as: “Racism is […]

The reality of thinking about the Ten Commandments is that you begin to see just how dark, how depraved, how flawed you are before a perfectly good God. Charles Spurgeon beautifully puts this thought of law and grace so well together:
And as I looked upon that corpse, I heard a footstep, and wondered where […]

I grew up thinking that John Wesley was one of the progenitors of revival during the Great Awakening. Later, I came to see that Wesely wasn’t all he was proposed to be by pro-Wesleyans, but still appreciated his pursuit of God and his humble chracter. But as I read this second volume of […]

I remember when I would go to my friends’ birthday parties, the best ones were either at McDonald’s or a bowling party. But most were at someone’s house where we had hats, a cake, and maybe some ice cream. For party favors, we would receive a balloon OR one of the kazoo streamers […]

Here is an interview with Chris Tomlin. It’s not too in-depth with relatively short answers. But I really liked this one question and answer:
Do you think about how we worship with our bodies? Some raise their hands, some dance, some stand still, and so on.
Tomlin: It has a lot to do with our […]
