Oh my

Posted by Steve Published in Relationships, Theology

“Your baby is getting her organs,” he whispered into my ear. A phrase that both stopped and started everything. I rushed to finish ICU rounds, and our bleeding, orange baby blew kisses at us and waved to her people from the confines of her glass room. “It’s my day!” she seemed to say, giggling, and burring [...]

Jonathan Edwards

Posted by Steve Published in Scripture, St. Andrew's, Theology

One last gem from this week’s sermon prep, again, from Jonathan Edwards, addressing both the highness and lowliness of Christ – I was sorry I couldn’t work it into my sermon: What a meeting of infinite highness and low condescension do we see in the Person of Jesus Christ! We see in many of our [...]

Saturday with Spurgeon

Posted by Steve Published in Quotable, Scripture, Theology

Spurgeon’s application of the excellency of Christ described in Colossians 1.15-23: O thou despairing sinner, there is as much consolation in Christ to-day as when he said to the woman, “Thy sins are forgiven thee, go in peace.” His grace has not diminished. He is to-day as great a Savior as when Magdalen was delivered [...]

Tebow’s Super Bowl ad isn’t intolerant; its critics are From Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post: I’ll spit this out quick, before the armies of feminism try to gag me and strap electrodes to my forehead: Tim Tebow is one of the better things to happen to young women in some time.

The Excellency of Christ

Posted by Steve Published in Scripture, Theology

I’m preaching on Colossians 1.15-23 this weekend (click here for February preaching schedule/series). Reading some of the great minds of the church on the text, not the least of which, Jonathan Edwards. His sermon, The Excellency of Christ, is wonderful. You can feel the passion Edwards has for Christ and his vocabulary to describe the [...]

Kendall Harmon on Augustine

Posted by Steve Published in Empowered Living, Quotable, St. Andrew's, Theology, _samp

We kicked off our St. Paul’s Theolgocial Center last night. Kendall was the guest lecturer in our “Great Theologian’s” track. He presented on St. Augustine. He was wonderful. The framework through which he examined Augustine’s work was threefold: 1) Church order & structure; 2) Human freedom, choice and sin; and, 3) Eschatology. Very helpful handholds [...]
