no, No, NOOO!

So its been a while since my last blog (sorry). I saw this video the other night (thanks to Wretched Radio).

When I was is Sunday school we learned verses, read bible stories and sung Jesus loves me this I know (which is no longer politically correct). Nowadays, some have decided that we must nuance songs so that the kids will sing them. I'm sure Jesus is most glorified and lifted up through the singing of songs that bring spewing to the forefront of your mind...



This song is part of the Crazy Praise 3 collection of praise songs and I'm sure it will be instant hit in all the Nonsense-Driven Churches across the English speaking world.

'So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.'

The Pursuit of God

Sorry it has been a while since I have written anything! But I have some great news! Christian Audio are giving away 'The Pursuit of God' by A W Tozer absolutely free!!! I read this book a few months back and found it fascinating and really important because as Tozer said "What I believe about God is the most important thing about me."

Great new song.

Steve Lawson

Last night I was listening to wretched radio (which is my usual custom) it runs from 8-10 uk time at www.wretchedradio.com its well worth a listen. Last night they had Dr Steven Lawson on the show last night. This was a clip that was played after the interview had finished. This message was preached at a youth conference that John Macarthur runs. It is well worth a listen!!!

Is this your church?

The Scheme - its not funny, its real.

Over the past week or so I have had lots of conversations about BBC's documentary 'The Scheme'. People have told me they think the programme is hilarious. I beg to differ. My reaction to the show was that we MUST plant churches in areas like this. The people are so broken and lost, only Jesus can save them from their loneliness, depression, addiction and of course their sin.

This show is very real and the characters portrayed in it can be found in any scheme in Scotland and likely the UK as a whole. This documentary is a cry for missionaries to move into these areas. It is raw, it is real. We must be like Jesus who wept over Jerusalem, we must weep for these areas. If this was 2000 years ago, where would Jesus be? Would he be in the Milngavie's and Bearsden's or would he be in the Drumchapel's? I'm not looking for an answer here, I'm just pondering.

Jesus said "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." I think often folk from Scheme's are more real, the tell it how it is. So often they know they are living in a sinful world they see it on their door steps. We must take the gospel to these people. Jesus hung out with those who were looked down upon and those who were laughed at by the rest of society, we are called to also.

If you haven't seen the documentary I'd encourage you to prayerfully watch it.

We ought to hate it with a deadly hatred!

I get a daily devo sent to me from Grace-Gems these devos are great.

You should sign up...

Heres a bit of Saturday's:

"You who love the Lord, hate evil!" Psalm 97:10

How much we ought to hate sin! Instead of . . .
loving it,
cleaving to it,
dallying with it,
excusing it,
playing with it--
we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred!

Sin is the great murderer, and thief, and
pestilence, and nuisance of this world!

Let us make no peace with it!

Let us wage a ceaseless warfare against it!
