As I continue my blogging break, here is a post from my friend Tim Virgo: At my church- CCK in Brighton, UK one of the things we are currently working towards is starting a ministry that explains and proclaims the redemption of the Gospel of Jesus. We want to help people to take hold of the freedom that’s been given to them. I am so excited to be involved in this. I have begun some study and have already been... Read more

It’s the turn of Matt Kottman, the pastor of Calvery Chapel Leatherhead, UK who is both charismatic and judging from his sermon on Ephesians 1:3-6 is reformed as well, to guest blog during my break: I was reading this morning in Acts 16, and I thought I’d share something that stood out to me in the text.9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia... Read more

I believe strongly that whatever we are committed to doing it is important to disengage with it totally for a period at least once a year. This is especially true for me of blogging. What began as a great hobby has become like a monster in my basement demanding to be fed at regular intervals. As much as I love blogging, regular breaks from it help me a lot. This next break begins tomorrow and is for two reasons –... Read more

This would win the wrath of many neo-liberals but I am sure that Piper would be glad to make room this Friday for the following quote I found on the pyromaniacs site from C.H. Spurgeon: Suppose,” said I, “you had killed some one. You were a murderer; you were condemned to die, and you deserved it.” “Faith,” said he, “yes I should deserve it.” “Well, her Majesty is very desirous of saving your life, and yet at the same time... Read more

We are such wretches that even a resurrected preacher would not be enough to guarantee our salvation! BUT Although unmentioned, this points to the coming savior – Jesus paints the problem to make us ready to hear the solution: There is a Jesus who stooped to do what the Rich Man wouldn’t! Jesus came to the lowly to lift them from the ash heap. Matthew 1:21 “you shall call his name Jesus(=God saves), for he will save his people from... Read more

The poor man is in bliss while the Rich Man is in agony Even in hell hasn’t repented – come and serve me…..not in a good place! Selfishness of the rich man persists – make poor man his servant or his messenger and only for his brothers…what of the rest of mankind? Do we only pray for our families? Heaven and hell are absolute and nothing can go between – In heaven people know God’s perfect presence, in hell they... Read more

We must understand that God will not be mocked. He wants us to care for the needy, understanding the grace we have received should make us gracious to others. These study notes continue the background to my recent sermon. The video is now available: By Adrian Warnock23 August 2009download video or download audio Jesus says that since we have Freely received, we should freely give (Matthew 10:8) John Piper: “The more sacrificially generous you are on earth, the greater will... Read more

If you are a Mac and Logos user, you might want to delay installing the Snow Leopard update of Mac Os X by hopefully just a few days or so. Apple’s publicity for this version of its operating system over the last few months can’t seem to decide whether to describe this almost as a minor update or as a whole new operating system. The truth seems to be that while there are not very many new features on this... Read more

I am continuing to share my own study notes that helped me to prepare for my sermon on the Rich Man and Lazarus. We move today to ask what it was that the rich man did wrong. Jesus’ teaching, and much of the NT is so pro-poor and anti-rich we have to ask ourselves the question, was the problem just that he was rich? Which are we? Important question as the truth is we are unbelievably rich in world terms.... Read more
