I preached the next sermon in our series on proverbs this morning. The message can be downloaded on the Jubilee Church London website or listened to right here in this embedded player thanks to odeo UPDATE: Tope Koleoso has more recently preached on alcohol, and speaks about his experiences having grown up in tetotal African Christianity. Prov 23, Jer 2:13, Prov 14:27, 1 Cor 6:9-20, Eph 5:15-18, John 7:37 This chapter is about discipline – children mentioned in there but... Read more
Hi, my name is Adrian Warnock and I am a blogaholic…it’s been three days since I last posted on my blog … Yes, I know posts have been appearing in this time, but I cheated by writing them earlier and having my editorial assistant publish them and post a couple of links whilst I was away! Anway, despite my addiction to the written word, I am a great believer in the power of the SPOKEN word. I believe that there... Read more
For any of you who have not already seen this, the link below will take you to Mark Driscoll’s Blog on the Resurgence website, where you can read an article written by Mark and an email exchange between John Piper and Mark which took place following the Desiring God National Conference this past weekend. Here we see the love of Christ shed abroad and the power of the Holy Spirit in action. Don’t miss reading this! You will go away... Read more
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of listening to my favourite preacher preach on anger from the book of Proverbs. I would urge you to listen to it, but I thought I would share a few thoughts I had and quotes I found on anger. The first place I want to start is actually the American Psychology Association who asked, “Is It Good To Let it All Hang Out?” — this is in light of the old notion that it... Read more
This is Adrian’s editor, Annette. The mp3s of the Desiring God 2006 National Conference are now available. (HT Scott Burness.) The transcripts (except for John Piper) are not yet available, even though both “read” and “listen” are listed below. I believe that, for now, if you click “Read” you will be taken to the page where the transcript will eventually be located once it has been made available. On that page, you will also find access to the audio. However,... Read more
I got this lovely email from Paul Huxley that said:___________________________________ Hello all, I’m writing you a quick note to let you know I’ve created a quiz which is to determine which Christian, reformed, blog you are. You’re receiving this e-mail because I have hand-selected your blog as an option. It’s only for a little bit of fun, and I hope you enjoy it. But if you think I’ve misrepresented you or are offended in any way, I’m happy to take... Read more
Well, I’ve just about caught my breath from the conference posts, but thought it might be an idea to just list a few things some of us might have missed whilst we have all been away. No pretty pictures in this post, I am sorry, but lots of lovely links to take up all the room instead! This week, I will not be as available as normal to interact with email and comments since I am traveling with work and... Read more
Challies Dot Com has more from the final session; here’s a quote to whet your appetite: “Twice Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you that my joy might be in you and your joy might be full.” Pastors become ambassadors for those words and arguments and propositions. This is the job of a pastor. Don’t let propositions be mocked in your presence. The main thing that comes through words when the Holy Spirit uses them is God. “The... Read more
Tim Challies has not yet published on this session, so again here are some quotes from New Attitude on the closing session: “Tears welled up in Piper’s eyes as he talked about the cross: I don’t like getting angry at people in evangelical churches. This is not fun. It’s heart-breaking. But what can you do when they attack the center with blasphemous cynicism? Nothing is more crucial for humanity than to escape the omnipotent wrath of God. It’s not the... Read more
Once again, Tim Challies has his usual thorough notes, but for variety I thought I would quote from the New Attitude Blog. Sounds like it was a great talk . . . “It follows that the ultimate purpose of Jesus going to the cross is to obey His Father. He doesn’t cry, ‘I love them so much I’ll go to the cross.’ He says, ‘Not my will but yours be done.’ The first thing that drives Him to the cross... Read more
