During the corona-virus pandemic, God has protected my health and the health of everyone in my family and church. I thank him for this mercy.
Church happenings: During the lockdown, for two months now we have had a prayer meeting every weeknight on Zoom, which has been a great joy and will be my enduring memory of this time.
Preaching: Over the last several months, I gave a series of ten sermons on Psalm 91.
My favorite posts of the last five months:
- Faith versus Works of the Law: Only faith in Jesus connects us to God’s grace and makes us good enough for God.
- Four Common but Erroneous Views of God’s Love: Does your view of God’s love agree with the Christian gospel?
- The Savior of the World: The Lord has the heart of a savior. He is both mighty to save and willing to save.
- You Need the Atoning Blood of Jesus: Blood is just as essential to spiritual life as it is to physical life.
- The Vindication of the Son of God: The vindication of the Son of God is of ultimate importance to God the Father.
Listen: Do you ever feel as though you are waiting for God to do something, and he is taking a long, long time? I invite you to listen to my reading of one chapter from a book I have written but not yet published. The chapter is titled Tested by Waiting. I welcome your feedback (in the comments below or send me an email).
