In 2 Timothy 4:1, 2 and 3 Paul says to young Timothy “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting…
We of the nervous West are victims of the philosophy of activism tragically misunderstood. Getting and spending, going and returning, organizing and promoting, buying and selling, working and playing-this alone constitutes living. If we are not making plans or working to carry out plans already made we feel that we are failures, that we are sterile, unfruitful eunuchs, parasites on the body of society. The gospel of work, as someone has called it, has…
It’s funny what you think about as you’re sitting in church, as my eyes wandered further down in 1 Timothy chapter 6 trying to be a Berean as I usually do to get the full context of the chapter and book, I read this from Paul to Timothy “O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”- which some have professed…
I have posted this video before, so being a holiday today I thought for MacArthur Monday we would go back in time with this very much-needed reminder from Dr. MacArthur. John MacArthur is advocating a special, particular kind of discrimination that needs to happen if the Christian church is to remain healthy and pure. It may not be culturally sensitive to say so, but it’s right, and loving too. Why do you call Me,…
After I posted yesterday of some of the words that people have used to describe me, some people have come to my defense, saying some things that are refreshing about me, one of the names they used was Funny! So here’s funny, but also so true It’s in the BOOK, HUH! and that’s a beautiful thing! Sole Deo Gloria Lenny
I’ve been called these words (good and bad) I’ve learned some of these words and desire all these words…. and that’s a beautiful thing! Soli Deo Gloria Lenny
One of the problems in the West is we have no concept anymore of a father’s authority and therefore we cannot understand the work of God in the heart of a man. God looks at His children and he says “You will be clean”. Ezekiel 36:25 Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act,…
“The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves that he has no brains of his own.” Spurgeon Soli Deo Gloria Lenny
I received a big smile from a man after I let out a few big Amen’s in church this past week, but I knew that he knew why! He told me after it was the words that were being sung wasn’t it? I’ve been approached in the past about my Amen’s in Church, so I thought I would write why. Our pastor was quoting the leadership of our denomination about the word of God and…
“The duty of any faithful exegete of God’s Word is to find out its true meaning and then preach it to the people. In other words, what does the Bible mean if we were dead?” In 2 Timothy 2:15 it says: “Be diligent.” And it uses a tremendously strong word – “Be diligent to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Listen,…
