I’ve seen a number of blog posts recently about sermons, most of which have been good. They’ve argued for expounding the text in front of the preacher, putting the passage in its context (both in terms of the Bible story and redemptive history), and applying the text to the people in front of them. ButContinue reading “Passion isn’t bad, but it isn’t enough”

Devotions for different seasons…
Ever few months I receive a new devotional work that is published to help the Christian grow in their love for and knowledge of Jesus. Some devotions are written for particular times of the year, like Advent or Easter, whilst others are general studies that you can undertake at any point.

Draw Near
Over the years I’ve seen many different note books and journals that each say they’re designed to help the reader with their spiritual life too. Some of them are good, other of them are super cheesy. But I’d like to introduce you to a journal unlike any other I’ve seen before and it is great!Continue reading “Draw Near”

Into His Presence
Over the last few years I’ve benefited massively from reading the prayers of the Puritans. Godly men who penned prayers that are full of awe of God. Prayers that are full of rich theology and that give words to your own heart as you cry out to God in praise, in repentance, in dependance andContinue reading “Into His Presence”
