God & Tebow
Posted on: Wednesday, 11 January 2012 15:03
God has never needed a large group to get His work done in the world. One will do just fine. From the one, faithful man Abraham, the whole world is blessed. Through the one leader, Moses, a whole nation escapes slavery. By the One Perfect Man, Jesus Christ, the salvation of the world hangs on a...

 
A bite out of the apple: reflecting on Steve Jobs
Posted on: Wednesday, 26 October 2011 16:28
I've come late to the Apple computer bandwagon, but I've come as a real convert. I really like my new I-Pad 2. For a low-tech kind of guy like me who barely knows his way around a computer, it's the bomb. So easy to use; so sleek to the eyes; so comfortably portable. Who needs a laptop or desk...

 
STUDY OF THEOLOGY IS COMING TO ST. JOHN
Posted on: Tuesday, 20 July 2010 16:04
The Study of Theology is Coming to St. John

One of the positive traits that St. John is known for is that we are a teaching church.For our Sunday school this fall we will be venturing into the exciting watersof theology. This is an audacious move given how rarely churches incorporatetheology...

 
Why God Loves Teenagers
Posted on: Wednesday, 23 June 2010 14:14
EPIC (Experiencing Passion in Christ), the week-long high school youth event here at St. John, is in process even as I write on this the afternoon of June 23.  It started Sunday night, with over 40 teens and a host of adult leaders and mentors. About half the group is from St. John, with youth...

 
What's so special about Sunday?
Posted on: Friday, 11 June 2010 15:53
More and more, as our society becomes post-Christian, people are asking this. So let me try to answer this question with a little list  of mini-answers: 1. Scripture tells us to keep the Sabbath holy, which means, among other things, to gather with other believers to worship, listen to and...

 
What are we doing on Sunday morning?
Posted on: Friday, 04 June 2010 08:41
A colleague asked a number of us recently that question. It was a good question.  Too often we get numbed into  thoughtless routine. My reply was that we are worshipping corporately, as God commands his people to do every Lord's Day.   We are gathering to hear his Word and enjoy His...

 
should we ever talk about hell?
Posted on: Friday, 28 May 2010 10:17
I am writing a chapter this week on Jonathan Edwards and hell.  Edwards preached perhaps the most famous American sermon--"Sinners in the hands of angry God"--which actually focused more on God's mercy holding us up out of hell than the nature of hell itself. It makes me think about the...

 
Imitate Me, Reflecting on the Faith of Howard Zerbst
Posted on: Thursday, 13 May 2010 13:44
Our dear brother in the Lord, Howard Zerbst, died early this morning after a brief illness. Howard would have celebrated his 90th birthday in September, and really this was the first serious illness of his life. He always gave God thanks for blessing him so deeply; Howard knew from whom all...

 
Mother Nature or Father God?
Posted on: Monday, 19 April 2010 08:43
Yesterday in the adult community group Sunday morning Bible study, one of the participants raised an interesting point. He was reflecting on the volcano in Iceland currently spewing ash and debris high into the atmosphere and said he was struck by all the comments in the public media about how...

 
My Day Is Great
Posted on: Tuesday, 23 March 2010 11:00
  Pastor Mark Graham came into my office today and asked me how my day was and, without hesitation, I told him that it was great. After he left, I asked myself why I thought my day was great. I hadn’t won the lottery, the Oscar, Grammy, World Cup, Masters, Wimbledon, Superbowl, or any of the...
