There you go . . .that got your attention, didn’t it! This is a post written in response to two great posts that appeared over at my good friends’ blog—the Pyromaniacs. (I don’t have to agree with a post in order to think it’s great!)Earlier in the week my relations with the guys at TeamPyro were at an all time high. They were exhilarated by the receipt of the Warnie Award. I even began to understand their graphical jokes about... Read more
“There is no factor more important in our quest for godliness than the filling of the Holy Spirit.” I wonder when this sermon will be available so we can find out exactly what Lig means by being filled with the Spirit . . .possibly not the same thing I do! (tags: duncan preaching spirit) Read more
Sometimes I realise I am out of my depth with design issues. Today is one of those times! Quite apart from the picture problem, which seems to be something to do with my Internet provider, I now have a problem specific to Firefox. This is what most people see in Internet Explorer: This is what most people see in Firefox: Anybody know why . . . and how I can fix it? Here is my Blogger template. Read more
“Create in me a clean heart, O God.” (Psalm 51:10).Today’s Lloyd-Jones quote is the December 30th entry of 365 daily selections from a devotional book featuring words from the Doctor and edited by Robert Backhouse. It was originally taken from the Lloyd-Jones’ book, Out of the Depths, and can be found on pages 71-72 of that book. Once again, although written years ago, the Doctor writes as if he were speaking today. This is no less true now than when... Read more
This is what my blog is supposed to look like right now – a nice picture of two coffee cups to represent an interview, a couple of adds (including one for the best Bible software in the world), a few books, my own mug shot, and the new Warnie Winners headlines listing (which I am finding addictive – if you want to find out which of around twenty of the best Christian blogs have written something new, then you will...

Link Troll Catapults Original Pyro to World-Wide Fame. So admits the original Pyro himself! Actually, he would have got there eventually, even without my help!! (tags: blogspotting pyromaniacs warnie) “The tithing issue is the pressing one as I work on my money study. Israel did it (although it looks like it was more like 23% than 10%). Should Christians be tithing? The bluefish is drawing a lot of traffic regarding his current posts on money and giving . . .... Read more
Well, there are no lengths that some people won’t go to in order to honour their heroes. Spurgeon isn’t even alive to thank him, but Phil Johnson has stolen the graphic he created for me and has unilaterally decided to award one to The Prince of Preachers. All I can say is that Spurgeon deserves it. With an output to rival any modern blogger, when Phil isn’t creating graphics for the Web, writing MacArthur’s books, or refusing to answer questions...

If you are reading this post on my blog’s home page, you should have noticed a new addition to the blog – a list of headlines from previous Warnie Award winners. This is all part of my mission to become a more influential blogger by driving you away from my own blog to the sites that I love! These people have much better stuff to say than I do – so go read their material, but keep coming back here... Read more
This Friday’s Piper quote is inspired by the thought of Tim Challies sitting in the Sovereign Grace WorshipGod06 conference—that’s if they allow him to sit! The idea of Tim surrounded by men and women dancing, raising their arms, and (dare I say it) CLAPPING, amuses me for some reason. I am not being cruel, and I honestly hope and pray, and even expect that he will enjoy it a lot more than the unfortunate caricature us charismatics have of the... Read more
How to Sleep Comfortably on a Hot Night It’s hot over here right now. None of us has air conditioning. So, to those of you who live in places that were hot even before this global warming thing kicked in – which of these ideas works best?
