Practical Theology

God will give you more than you can handle. But he doesn’t leave you alone. Not at all.

The reason the mind is endlessly troubled about God predestining everything is the vague generalization. Generalizations are cold as ice, without the warm Christ.

The Psalms aren’t the clandestine successes of a faithful soul, but are the journaled hopes of a desperate soul — of one teetering on the edge of oblivion.

The Church is where God has instituted the office of the preacher of the gospel. And if you are let-down, the gospel is what you need to hear.

This tiny rural church would bulge at the seams with worshipers from realms seen and unseen, all mixed together in the adoration of the Lamb.
