Fighting for Jesus Instead of Complaining

February 8, 2014

For Lord’s Day, February 9, 2014 Dear Saints, I recently saw two videos providing amazing examples of not murmuring against God over difficult providences.  It was a humbling reminder of what Christ preached to us last week in Exodus 16:1-17:7 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-12.

Drink of Jesus Again

February 1, 2014

For Lord’s Day, February 2, 2014 Dear Saints, Several thematic elements continue out of Exodus 15 into chapters 16 and 17 this Lord’s Day.  One of the main and very sad themes is that the people keep murmuring against and testing God.  After each miraculous milestone, they again doubt standing upon their Rock in fear […]

What is Sin? A Confessional Answer that Might Have Helped Duck Dynasty

December 21, 2013

For Lord’s Day, December 21, 2013 Dear Saints, As most of you are likely well aware by now, Phil Robertson — the patriarch of A&E’s Cable program “Duck Dynasty”, has been suspended from the program indefinitely because of his “coarse” remarks against homosexuality. It is the latest talk show controversy fodder. I have never seen […]

Planting Trees While Not Missing the Forest

December 14, 2013

For Lord’s Day, December 15, 2013 Dear Saints, In the video Elder Renner began to share with us on Wednesday, Monumental, we learned about how the Pilgrims left our nation a monument so that we would remember how our nation will be great for our posterity; that is, by having Christ as our King: Blessed is […]
