Truth Tuesdays-This is True

This message by Paul Washer, though lengthy, is worth watching. This has impacted me in so many ways I can’t even begin to unfold it. I pray that God will use it to speak to you as well.
The Ten Indictments of the Modern Church:
1. A practical denial of the sufficiency of Scripture
2. An ignorance of God
3. A failure to address man’s malady
4. An ignorance of the gospel of Jesus Christ
5. An ignorance of the doctrine of regeneration
6. An unbiblical gospel invitation
7. Ignorance regarding the nature of the Church
8. A lack of loving and compassionate Church discipline
9. Psychology and sociology have replaced the Scriptures with regard to the family
10. The Emergent Church , Church growth, and cultural sensitivity

Web Wednesday-Freight Train Named Desire
Posted by Randall W. Ross in Media Critique, Personal Connections, Resources, Teaching, Theology, Web Resources on August 5, 2009
One of my favorite websites to is desiringGod.org. This online resource features the ministry of John Piper, the pastor, author and theologian. His church, Bethlehem Baptist, is in the midwestern mecca of Minneapolis, MN. The same city is home to Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion, the famous Mall of America, and a wonderful collection of Craftsman Style homes. I’ve never been there, but I always wanted to. I finally now live close enough for it to be an easy possibility.
What you will find through Desiring God is nearly endless. It seems like I discover something new each time I visit the site. There are years of archived sermons, taste and see articles (blog), and various other print and media resources.
My new favorite is the Ask Pastor John series. This is a short format Q & A with John Piper. With new episodes released three times a week (Mon, Wed, and Fri) and featuring one question and answer at a time, it is a quick way to get something to think about or discuss with your family or friends.
Here is a recent example:
Additionally, the database is searchable. If you have a particular issue, topic, doctrine, date, Scripture passage, etc. that you are interested in, a quick search will lead you to a variety of helpful options.
One more thing to mention is the availability of free books. Many of John Piper’s books are available as a downloadable PDF file. It is easy to read on your computer or digital reader (kindle) or you can print a copy and share it with others. You can do this as much as you want as long as you don’t alter the content or charge for it.
Something that rings true in what you will find at desiringGod.org is the organization’s purpose: to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ.
What you find at this website is a freight train full of resources, encouragement, and thought provoking questions and material that is fueled by the surpassing joy of Christ. This train is moving, full steam ahead for the city of God’s Glory. Hop on board and benefit from what is here. Find it to be true that…
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
Honor the Lord with your wealth
Posted by Randall W. Ross in Curriculum, Events, Resources on June 4, 2009
Here is the video from a recent sermon in our series on Proverbs 3. My assignment was the ninth and tenth verse:
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
Proverbs 3:9-10 (ESV)

Honor and Fear the Lord
Posted by Randall W. Ross in Teaching on February 12, 2009
If then I am a father, where is my honor? if I am a master, where is my Fear? Malachi 1:6
I had the privilege recently of preaching during the morning sevice at our church. We are in a study of the book of Malachi. This last book of the Old Testament deals directly with God’s people, admonishing them for turning away from God and following their own law and desires. My passage was Ch. 1:6-2:9. This section covers a “heart issue” that always proves damaging to our faithfulness to God and our witness to others: refusing to honor and fear the Lord.
When God is not honored and feared, essentially we are saying He is not Lord of our life. When this is so, our actions and words become corrupted and reproachable. God is not pleased with this. His name (His character and authority) is to be holy and set apart. Others are supposed to see our honor and fear of Him (in our right actions and words) and glorify Him as well.
Thankfully, God will correct us as children, turning us from ourselves to a place of willing submission once more. Praise be to God that He is so gracious.
Here is the video of that sermon:
