  1. Knowing Micah 5:2 without expecting the arrival of Messiah is like loving to study eschatology without ever gazing at the eastern skyline.
  2. Like Herod, you know you're threatened by the gospel when it troubles you instead of transforms you, disturbs you instead of defines you.
  3. What shall we make of "Abba, Father"? God feels the same way about me that He does about Jesus, & I stand to inherit all that Jesus does!
  4. Here's good news: It's Christ's Spirit in me who relates to God as a son, enabling me to do the same (Gal. 4:6)! I have no right on my own.
  5. Ezra was jealous 4 God's honor! See the '09 State of the Church message @ riversidebaptist.com/2009/12/06/put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is
  6. Justification doesn't mean we aren't guilty. On the contrary, it's full recognition that a crime has been committed & there must be payment.
  7. Preparing for the 2nd of 2 weekly Dead Disciples Society mtgs. My favorite times of the week. I love these guys! Today's topic: Redemption.
  8. Rom. 3:23 - I lost my reason for being--God's glory--with my sin. Rom. 3:24 - God bought it back & graciously gave it back to me with Jesus!
  9. Rom. 3:23 - I lost my reason for being--God's glory--with my sin. Rom. 3:24 - God bought it back & graciously gave it back to me with Jesus!
  10. Salvation is NOT a two-way street! My faith is not even possible except for the incredible grace of God in Christ Jesus! - Eph. 2:8-9
  11. The virgin birth has everything to do with our mission: "Immanuel, God with us" (Mt. 1:23) & "Behold, I am with you always" (Mt. 28:20).
  12. The firestorm of preaching: Fire in the preacher's bones (Jer. 20:9) that burns in the hearer's heart (Lk. 24:32). Lord, may it be so today!
  13. Watching my daughter perform in "The Haunting of Will Shakespear." Thanks, God, for the blessing of having kids & watching them grow up.
  14. Success? Being unashamed of the gospel, guarding it with your life & entrusting it to a few men who can deliver it to the next generation.
  15. The apostles were serious about believers not toying with false doctrine: "Don't receive them into your house or greet them." (1 Jn. 10-11)
  16. A foot or more of snow in the Denver area today. Lord, let Your Spirit fall so as to interrupt our routine to at least the same degree!
  17. The urgency of God's armor (Eph. 6) is not just the protection of the individual believer, but the defense of the gospel & its advancement.
  18. I'm not much for random updates, but what a joy to host in our home this weekend our dear friends, Todd & Beverly Frisbie. Sweet fellowship.
  19. The gospel in the prodigal: A son turns from his Creator Father to pursue his own depravity. The Father patiently p (cont) http://tl.gd/tdig
  20. "weak...ungodly...sinners...enemies" (Rom. 5:6-10). There are not words sufficient to describe our hopeless state apart from Jesus Christ!
