A wonderful excerpt from John Piper on the nature of Christ’s supremacy!

I Timothy 4:7-8 compels me to “…. train yourself in godliness, for the training of the body has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” yet how do we “train in godliness” without legalism (ie “You must…”) but with accountability and encouragement?

Postsecret - how true or not?

Dress-code and following-Jesus: aagh that I had a t-shirt budget!!

Worship is seeing what God is worth and giving him what he’s worth.

Working towards an accessible definition of the ‘role’ of pastor? “A pastor equips ordinary people to be faithful disciples: followers of Jesus Christ so that the world would be changed to more closely resemble God’s will on earth.”

A prayer by John V. Taylor to close;- If the time has come to make the break then help me not to cling, even though it feels like death.  Give me the inward strength of my redeemer, Jesus Christ, to lay down this bit of life and let go, so that I and others may be free to take up whatever new and fuller life you have prepared for us, now and hereafter.  Amen
