This is a round-up of some of the posts that caught my eye from the last week or so:<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

First up, on items of clothing. It seems <\/span>Martyn Lloyd-Jones may win a most peculiar contest<\/span><\/a> over at Pyromaniacs \u2013 the things that lot get up to when I am not looking! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking of which, <\/span>the Pyros also talked up a storm about Mark Driscoll<\/span><\/a>. I have to wonder just how unlucky Phil was \u2013 is that the first Driscoll sermon he has listened to, or has he been listening for a while looking for something to jump on? In all the aggro that seems to gather around Driscoll, I have yet to see a single referenced example of him actually cussing in the pulpit. I have heard quite a few Driscoll talks and never heard any swearing or anything for that matter that would be significantly offensive to most, as far as I can tell. Not yet having listened to the talk that Johnson cites, I will not comment on his specific problems with it. To be fair, I have wondered a bit about the number of Driscoll\u2019s comments about sex \u2013 but I suspect he would justify this by the need of his particular congregation to hear \u201cDon\u2019t do it!\u201d<\/em><\/strong> almost weekly! Anyway, <\/span>Phil did post a great follow-up post<\/span><\/a> about the need for ALL of us to be more careful about what we say and how to say it. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople get shot in that neighborhood and cars get car-jacked all the time,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/a> Phil is starting his second childhood early \u2013 that\u2019s what comes of having a cop for a son! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

No Bible verses were harmed (or even touched!) in the writing of this sermon<\/span><\/a>. Dan has a great post on the vital place of the Word of God in our preaching. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI follow Jesus!\u201d<\/span><\/a> So says my friend Jason who has become a Christian in the last six months and was baptized last Sunday at my church. Pray for him, and go read his blog \u2013 his posts about baptism are great! Like my other friends, his headlines will appear in the gray box at the bottom of this page. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>In the New Testament, the Spirit works in three kinds of ways. He is called \u201cthe Spirit of Love.\u201d [Rom 15:13, 5:5; Gal 5:22-23] He is called \u201cthe Spirit of Truth.\u201d [John 14:17, 15:26, 16:12-14; 1 John 4:6, 5:6] He is called \u201cthe Spirit of Power.\u201d [Zech 4:6; Luke 4:14; Acts 10:38; Rom 1:4, 15:19; 1Cor 2:4-5] We find all three together in 2 Tim 1:7: [For God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.]\u201d<\/span><\/a> Andrew Fountain on the work of the Holy Spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Phillips hasn\u2019t managed to find the time yet to answer my latest post in <\/span>our long running charismatic debate<\/span><\/a>, but he does post a <\/span>review of a cessationist book<\/span><\/a> which seems to have a single \u201ccascading\u201d argument that I do not find at all convincing. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, my friend Rob Wilkerson has certainly been busy this week \u2013 he has written Gospel-Driven Prophecy: Understanding the Differences Between OT and NT Prophecy<\/strong> all six parts are now available <\/span>Part 1<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>Part 2<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>Part 3<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>Part 4<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>Part 5<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>Part 6<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n
