It may seem a bit arbitrary to highlight my 214th post, but it isn’t. Since I missed my own year anniversary I thought I would use a milestone to look back on my blog a bit and the number 214 stood out to me because of Ephesians 2:14. Speaking of Jesus Christ it says, “For [...]

Grace at the Grocery Store
Posted in Grace, Jesus Christ, Sin on June 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Elyse Fitzpatrick does a great job of helping us see how the gospel of Jesus Christ changes everything, including when anger rises in our heart while we impatiently wait at the grocery check out lane: Briefly, here’s how the whole gospel message might impact me when I’m struggling with my own unbelief, idolatry and sin: [...]

Posted in Jesus Christ, Qur'an, Understanding on June 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Here is a short video with Governor David Beasley sharing his experience of finding common ground with a Muslim friend from Yemen. Unbeknownst to him, Jesus is in the Qur’an. I really appreciate his humility by confessing that he didn’t know something and by learning about Islam from a Muslim. HT: Carl Medearis

I mentioned last week that for our 12th anniversary I made 12 lists of 12 things. I thought I would share one of the lists with you. My hope is that you will be encouraged to trust in Jesus Christ as you think about the ways the gospel can and should impact all aspects of [...]
God’s Wonderful Surprise

The Jesus Storybook Bible for kids is one of the best children’s Bibles we’ve read. We love the subtitle: Every Story Whispers His Name. Understanding that the whole Bible speaks about and points to Jesus Christ is crucial if we are going to understand what the message of the Bible is. Here is a video [...]
Evidence of the Resurrection
Posted in Bible, Jesus Christ on April 3, 2010 | 2 Comments »
From the Crossway blog: Excerpt modified from chapter 9 of Doctrine (Read the full chapter). Without the resurrection, the few billion people today who worship Jesus as God are gullible; their hope for a resurrection life after this life is the hope of silly fools who trust in a dead man to give them life.

Holy Week Pictures
Posted in Christianity, Christians, Jesus Christ on April 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I immediately wanted to post a link to The Big Picture’s Holy Week 2010 pictures. But I had second thoughts after looking at the pictures. Most of the pictures come from traditions that are not biblical and began hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ. Especially sad are the traditions in which penitents [...]
Take Heart
Posted in Jesus Christ on April 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Three years ago I had the opportunity to preach on Good Friday. My short message was titled, “Take Heart, I Have Overcome the World,” which comes straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ in John 16:33. One of the driving passions of my life is that all people would see that the death of Jesus [...]

Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day when Christians from all over the world remember the death of Jesus Christ. Here is a link to a video that describes what happened on that day. The video is in Arabic and honors the beliefs of Muslims by not showing the face of our master Jesus (Muslims don’t [...]

Posted in Jesus Christ, Peace, Understanding on March 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Zafar Siddiqui recently attended a passover meal at a synagogue in St Paul, MN. He wrote about his experience in the Star Tribune. In his piece for the Star Trib he quotes many texts from the Qur’an that also speak of Moses and how God worked through him to save his people. This is what [...]
