My 21 year old self would be astounded at the number of books I own on theology. Heck, the number of Bibles I own would make him do a double take.
With that being said, I own a copy of Grudem’s systematic theology. It’s good. However, I was able to come across a significant deal on Reformed Systematic Theology. I’m excited for this to arrive. I’ll probably never read it completely, but I’m looking forward to it.
Current sermons being worked on:
Discernment, Deuteronomy 18:22. This is for a Sunday night, so it’ll be more of a “teaching” message. Looking at the false gods of the American culture.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, Psalm 139: As we were fearfully and wonderfully made in our mother’s womb, we are being fearfully and wonderfully molded for our eternal home with Christ.
Above Me, Psalm 139: Continuing with Psalm 139, the wonderful works and knowledge of God are above us; we cannot know everything, and we should not only accept it but find comfort in it.
My pride has been shattered recently. Whenever I feel like Icarus, climbing high into the sky, touching the rays of the sun, my sinful nature rears its ugly head and reminds me that I’m still a nasty creature, full of hideous surprises. Thankfully, God is not surprised and Christ was still pleased to die the death I could not. Oh, that such good things were more real to me.
Fully god and fully man. Could you imagine having died and been brought back to life? How annoying would it have been to be Samuel? I mean, the guy basically told Saul, “What are you bothering me for?”
