Rejoiceful

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 1 Minute Read 1508 Views (1)

This Thanksgiving I am 'rejoiceful' with family and the Body of Christ of Jesus' redemption of great price and that we can celebrate this freely in our homes and with the Household of God. I love the words here of J. H. Merle Daubigne as he encourages redeemed hearts to die to self and live to our Redeemer. Be converted, then, in your hearts! Die to the world, to sin, to yourselves even, and live to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Immortal souls, Christ hath redeemed you at a great price! He … Read More →

Questions Get Family Worship Going

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 14 Minutes Read 2285 Views (0)

(Changing Negative Questions into Transforming Ones) Fathers who don’t lead in family worship or who have occasional struggles doing it (including me) may be asking the wrong questions. The Bible informs you to be wise in all you do. This includes both the answers of life and the questions you have about life. Do you ever have dumb questions that lead to dumb answers? I know I do. As Christian fathers, you need to seek wisdom. And this includes asking good questions. Now we … Read More →

Centered on Christ in Family Worship

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 1 Minute Read 1550 Views (0)

"Christian families practicing family worship will also find that it centers their home upon Christ." This quote comes from Jason Helopoulos in his great article on "Family Worship and Its Benefits." I encourage you to check out his blog post over at Reformation21.  He writes from a sincere heart and a sound mind on the benefits of family worship in his own home and what we will benefit too as we share in this spiritual opportunity. After you have read his post on family worship you may … Read More →

Doxology: What is the point?

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 5 Minutes Read 2010 Views (0)

If there were a tune that is most familiar to Christendom, I would have to say it is the Doxology. Sometimes referred to as the Common Doxology, Thomas Ken (1637-1711), an Anglican minister penned this in 1674 (see history of this tune here by Don Sweeting). I have seemingly countless times in various churches sung this Doxology.  We still regularly sing it in our local church.  And, as a family, it is often sung in our times of family worship.  It is a reminder that our worship is … Read More →

Christ is Risen

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20 “But, now…” Contrary to all the false teachings about the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12-19), the Apostle Paul speaks the truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-11). [tweet_dis]And so our hope rests in the Risen Christ. And this is… Read More →

What If There Was No Easter?

What if there was no Easter? It’s a question that we don’t ask because we already know the truth of the matter. However, what if…? For the Apostle Paul it’s an important thought. And it’s an important thought as we worship together at church and as we gather in family worship. Here’s Paul’s view: [tweet_dis]If… Read More →

The Goodness of Good Friday

Where is the goodness of Good Friday in a cruel cross? It is evidenced in our salvation from sin. If we took the time to list out all our sins individually it would take us all day [correction: more than a lifetime]. But here’s a short list of our sins in which Paul reminds us of… Read More →

Palm Sunday Preparation

As we remember a personal birthday or an anniversary or Thanksgiving Day… Palm Sunday is all the more important to remember as it brings us to a climax in Jesus’ earthly mission in his life, death and resurrection. This day’s significance lies in the fact that Jesus fulfills the prophetic word of Zechariah 9:9 and… Read More →

Fear of the Lord: How Should We Think?

As a father and husband trying to lead his family, what does it mean to fear the Lord? To fear the Lord may sound archaic and perhaps unimportant. After all, don’t we just want our children to love God…and not fear Him? Shouldn’t our motto be, “No fear taught here?” For a healthy family, the… Read More →
