Paul Washer - This is War

Another AWESOME excerpt from a Paul Washer sermon. To hear the whole thing click here.

Listening to this sermon reminded me of how easy it is to gain knowledge from the Bible, from preachers, from church etc. but how hard it is to apply it. Unfortunately, knowledge that is not applied is pointless. I want to challenge you (and me) to apply what we learn, apply it to our lives and become more like HIM. Conviction isn't just a feeling, it requires actions. If we are convicted by what God is teaching us through His Word and through others - DO something about it. May we all BECOME more like HIM in actions and not just "think" about it :-)

John Piper - Farewell, Death

I found this on a site that I love called Of First Importance and decided to share it.

CHRISTIAN:
Hello, Death, my old enemy. My old slave-master. Have you come to talk to me again? To frighten me?
I am not the person you think I am. I am not the one you used to talk to. Something has happened. Let me ask you a question, Death.
Where is your sting?

DEATH, sneeringly:
My sting is your sin.

CHRISTIAN:
I know that, Death. But that’s not what I asked you. I asked, where is your sting? I know what it is. But tell me where it is.
Why are you fidgeting, Death? Why are you looking away? Why are you turning to go? Wait, Death, you have not answered my question. Where is your sting?
Where is, my sin?
What? You have no answer? But, Death, why do you have no answer? How will you terrify me, if you have no answer?
O Death, I will tell you the answer. Where is your sting? Where is my sin? It is hanging on that tree. God made Christ to be sin—my sin. When he died, the penalty of my sin was paid. The power of it was broken. I bear it no more.
Farewell, Death. You need not show up here again to frighten me. God will tell you when to come next time. And when you come, you will be his servant. For me, you will have no sting.

O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:55-57)

Paul Washer - Be A Man

Short segment from Paul Washer reminding us to get out there and "be a man" (or woman) for God NOT for the world! I am sure there is something in here that would apply to all of us!

That's MY KING!

The late S.M. Lockridge once presented an incredible message, describing our God and who He is. Of course, it is impossible to describe Him with just words but I think he gets pretty close.
