Easter the Unecessary Holiday

Mark Dever has provided an a timely summary of the heretical tendencies of some "evangelical Christians."

Still Reforming

Thought I link to Matt's blog first because he told me about blog this.


Thanks Matt

Deo Volente this Sunday I will have the opportunity to preach. I have only preached twice in the last six weeks, and zero times since I resigned my position as pastor. I am ready to preach. I have heard some really good sermons in the past month, yet it has been an adjustment for me. The Father has used this down time to reveal a sinful attitude that had crept into my heart in the last few months (or year). Preaching became a burden, something I had to do as part of my calling. This coming Sunday maybe the last time I ever get to preach now that may sound extreme, but who knows what the Lord has planned for me. The reality is that I will probably get to preach again, but my heart is learning to be thankful for each opportunity to stand in the pulpit. It is an honor to preach the Word. Deo Volente I will do that this Sunday.

It has been two weeks since I resigned as pastor of Natural Steps Baptist Church, and I am not sure what the future holds. My desire is to pastor again. I am considering several options that will allow me to serve as a pastor, but I can only say Deo Volente, which means "God willing." This phrase has become my life motto. I had forgotten the reality of living this way. This phrase is to be the foundation of life, we are to work in this world, but we are never to forget that in the end, we must sumbit to the will of God. I know God has plan for my life, and I know that He will open the door He wants me to walk thru. My prayer is that tomorrow I'll wake up if God willing, and I will walk by faith in God's Will. I have many things I could worry about over the next few months, but I know worry is not God's will. Deo Volente, I'll be a pastor again.

Deo Volente
Jeff
