This is a new Christmas song I recently heard on a CD by Daniel Renstrom. Hope you enjoy it.Comfort Ye by Daniel RenstromComfort ye heavy laden , The Son of God has comeHis kingdom shines with lavish mercy, For those who’s hearts are drawnThose who dwell in darkness , See the of Christ invades the nightShining from His cross of anguish , His death brings many lifeIn Christ we know hope for the

Came To My Rescue

One of my favorite Hillsong songs.

Glory to God Forever

Another of my new favorite songs. This one is by the band Fee. Their new cd is really good:

The Gospel of Grace

2009-07-28T13:35:00.004-05:00

I just ran across these song lyrics over at the Reformed Praise website. The song reminds us that the gospel is primary to our lives as Christians, not something we acknowledge once and then move on to bigger and better things. The gospel is our only hope in life and in death. Thank God for the sufficiency of the gospel for every part of our lives; let us not be ashamed of the gospel, for it

Take Up Your Cross: A Meditation on Mark 8:34-35

2009-04-15T08:56:00.006-05:00

Pastor Matthias has already spoken about being crucified with Christ, and how, when we trust Christ as our substitute and LORD, we no longer live but Christ lives in us. I want to look at the practical outworking of having the crucified Christ living in us, and what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Let’s look at Mark 8:34-35:8:34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he (

The Power of the Cross

2009-04-10T11:51:00.003-05:00

My prayer is that the words of one of my favorite "new" hymns would focus your heart and mind on the Cross on this Good Friday.Oh, to see the dawnOf the darkest day:Christ on the road to Calvary.Tried by sinful men,Torn and beaten, thenNailed to a cross of wood.This, the pow'r of the cross:Christ became sin for us;Took the blame, bore the wrath—We stand forgiven at the cross.Oh, to see the

Real Courage

2009-02-19T10:31:00.003-06:00

From WorldNetDaily:Despite facing threats of disqualification, a 12-year-old girl took first place in a speech contest when she eloquently argued for the rights of unborn children – after an offended judge quit."What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die?" the seventh-grader begins in a video recording of her speech on YouTube. "What if I told you

Salvation

2009-02-15T01:06:00.006-06:00

Some song lyrics I recently wrote: Salvation offered full & freeSon of God, slain for meOn a Cross, hung to dieTo give to me eternal lifeGlory to the Son of ManHumbled to fulfill God’s planCursed & hung upon the TreeSon of God, slain for meYou’re my Savior, my RedeemerThe Atonement for my sinYou’re the Son of God, victoriousConquering death, You rose again

John Piper on Obama & Abortion

2009-01-27T10:06:00.005-06:00

John Piper from his recent Sanctity of Life sermon:"As everyone knows, our new President, over whom we have rejoiced, does not share this reverence for the beginning of human life. He is trapped and blinded by a culture of deceit. On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, he said, “We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader

Demonstration of Depravity

2009-01-26T23:29:00.005-06:00

I was flipping through the TV channels today (as guys are wont to do) and came across Larry King interviewing Rod Blagojevich on CNN. Blagojevich is the now-disgraced governor of Illinois who is facing criminal charges for allegedly trying to sell the vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder. Larry King played a wire tap recording of some comments Blagojevich made, comments which very clearly

Sweet Hour of Prayer

2009-01-22T12:45:00.012-06:00

I have a confession to make...I actually like my church's weekly Wednesday night prayer meeting. To me there is no better time spent than the saints of God gathering to seek His face and pray for one another. It is a shame that this vital discipline is often overlooked or downplayed in many of our churches today. I am disappointed by many who consider the prayer meeting to be "boring" or "

Learning to Be Content

2009-01-02T12:04:00.015-06:00

One way that God continually amazes me is in how He uses unexpected sources to speak truth. Last night, as I was playing with my 4 year old nephew, I had such an experience. I was wrestling with Barrett and teasing him that I was going to "steal" his new pajamas because they were so cool (a little game we were playing in order for him to actually put them on and go to sleep!). Very earnestly, and

Happy New Year

2009-01-01T10:32:00.005-06:00

The New Year is finally here!It is hard to believe that it is 2009... I mean, in a couple of weeks I will be 32 years old. 32!!! I am amazed as I reflect on my life at how much I have experienced:I have lived in 3 different countries (USA, Germany, Wales), 5 different states (KS, MO, IL, OK, TX), and visited more countries than I can count (including most of Europe, and China).I have been to
