Clear Presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

If you know the Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you’ll enjoy hearing the Gospel one more time, as presented by Mark Driscoll from Seattle. If you don’t know the Lord Jesus Christ then, please, I urge you to hearing this gospel message and receive it. Go to the Scriptures and read it:

“What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?” Matthew 26:72

You must accept him. Why not today?

Dispensationalism Defended

  1. First I’d like to thank my good friend Armen of ArmenThomassian.com for bringing up the topic and allowing me to respond.
  2. I think its always best to define what Dispensationalism is based on what the teachers, theologians and scholars who hold that position say, instead of defining it based on what a covenant theologian says about Dispensationalism.
  3. Also, it wouldn’t be accurate to say Dispensationalism or Covenant Theology is a “biblical hermeneutic” or least it shouldn’t be … both approaches are broad frameworks for understanding where certain things fit in over history and in times to come.
  4. I’d also like to stress for others watching or reading, that this discussion is not in an area of doctrine in which we both must agree otherwise one of us is damned.  Its safe to say that the discussion in that grey area where the error is not damning – albeit error with serious implications.  For instance, it isn’t a doctrinal issue which you must include in your gospel presentation.

Glad To Still Be Singing Hymns

I love this hymn, its words and this arrangement. Very very good. It can be a really struggle in some churches – the music that is. What do we sing and in what style do we sing it? To what I know of, of course, its really only a problem that churches in Western countries or Western-looking countries seem to struggle with. However, for the most part (and at times only just) I’m glad to still be sing hymns in a fairly traditional, organ n’ piano style although I do wish we’d give the style a lift. I want to take a moment to think about this.

Video Testimony from Australia

A good friend of mine, Stevie Moore, told me once that a Christian should always seek to do whatever they can, where they are in regards to serving the Lord. Since moving to Australia, I’ve not had too many opportunities to serve in the local church since I’m all new to the place etc. I’ve since been able to do a few things but in the time between then and now, his advice was not far away in my thinking. Now, I don’t know if all of you know about this testimony video I filmed in June.  Its of a man in my church called Peter Donnelly. I’ve surfed with him and he’s got quite a testimony.

Peter grew up rejecting God and then got attracted to Buddhism. After searching for enlightenment in Buddhism and eastern religions he found truth and salvation in Christ Jesus.
