Hymn: “The Lord Hath Need of Me” by Cecil John Allen

By TFL — 2 years ago

The Lord has need of me,His soldier I will be;He gave Himself my life to win,And so I mean to follow Him,And serve Him faithfully.So although the fight be fierce and long,I’ll carry on—He makes me strong;And then one day His face I’ll see,And oh! the joy when He says to me,“Well done! My brave crusader!”

A Brief Theology of Marriage

By TFL — 2 years ago

H. Norman Wright, a licensed marriage and family counselor, once described a situation that another man had brought to him in the course of his ministry:

A new woman came to work in our office. We struck up an acquaintance and began to talk each day over coffee. In time she began to share the problems in her own marriage and we found that we were both in a position of drifting away from our spouses. We actually found that we communicated better together than with our own spouses. We looked for reasons to be together—we shared similar interests and hobbies. I had no ulterior motives—no sinister plans but I enjoyed our time together as friends.

Writing to the church in Corinth, Paul described the Holy Spirit’s ongoing work in the believer’s life as follows:

Remembering Tim Keller (1950–2023)

By TFL — 2 years ago

We join our brothers and sisters around the world in mourning the death of Tim Keller. He was, for many of us, an example of sanctified scholarship and pastoral care. His skill in bridging the gap between the truth of the Bible and the skeptical mind was unmatched. We extend our sympathy to his wife Kathy, their sons, and their wider family. There is no question Tim will be greatly missed—but what a legacy he has left us in his writing and in the quality of his life.

Lessons in Church Leadership: Earthing a Vision

By TFL — 2 years ago

Exiled hundreds of miles from Jerusalem, Nehemiah was burdened for his city’s condition. In 586 BC, Babylon had ransacked the City of David, taking God’s people into captivity. Even after Cyrus and the Persians overthrew the Babylonians and allowed some of the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem, efforts to rebuild were precarious (Ezra 4:23)—so much so that the city remained in ruins even decades later. If they were to going to rebuild Jerusalem, Israel needed a vision, and a visionary leader—someone to bring God’s truth to bear on their circumstances. And that leader was Nehemiah.

“What is God’s will for my life?” Few questions have raised more speculation in Christian circles than this one. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit’s ministry involves giving direction. As we strive to devote our lives to God (Rom. 12:1), His Spirit enables and guides our spiritual progress.
