a word on worldliness from the UK

Peter Masters, the pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, publishes the Sword & Trowel, a revival of Spurgeon’s magazine. I have subscribed for the last year and found spiritual benefit from every issue.

Just yesterday, I received the #3 issue for 2007 (I think Canada Post stores them for me). In an article entitled “The Holy War: Do we dodge enlistment?”, Masters says we are in a battle with demonic forces for the soul of the church. He echoes the concerns I regularly express concerning worldliness.

I’d like to share a couple of pertinent quotations for your consideration. They may not set well within certain circles.

choosing music in the Spirit

I’d like to commend an excellent post to you (as well as direct more attention to my missionary colleague and friend who wrote it).

buying converts?

The CBC National newscast reports Christianity Comes to Thailand. But not in a way that we rejoice in, at least, not in some cases. Apparently some groups have been ‘buying conversion’. I can’t imagine anything more disappointing. How can anyone think this is the right thing to do?

Anglican rift – a little hardball

A small Anglican church in Toronto has been locked out of its building in consequence of its vote to leave the Canadian diocese in favour of a more conservative South American one. One suspects that this church is singled out because it is small.

The whole scene is not entirely promising … note that the pastor of this small church is female:

Within days of the vote, their minister, Rev. Barbara Richardson, was suspended by the diocese. She later resigned from the national church and has been licensed as a priest with Venables’ church.

This battle looks to be getting uglier by the day.

the power of God unto salvation … and more

Romans 1.16 is a glorious passage. We are in message #2 on it this week. At least one more week to go…

The Power of God (Rm 1.16b) || Audio

The gospel can be summed by a clear set of theological facts. But the gospel is much more than a mere collection of facts. It is much more than bare orthodoxy. It is the power of God unto salvation.

Read the notes as you listen.

I don’t want to turn this into an entirely space blog, but NASA keeps providing spectacular pics of our Solar System. Check out this one of earth and moon from a Mars orbiter…
