Questions Get Family Worship Going

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 14 Minutes Read 2330 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 →

From the words of Augustine, the church father of the 4th century in his proclaiming the Christmas Gospel, [Sermon 184—On Christmas Day in The Works of St. Augustine], he stated: “Rejoice, you just;” it is the birthday of the Justifier. Rejoice, you who are weak and sick; it is the birthday of the Savior, the Healer. Rejoice, captives; it is the birthday of the Redeemer. Rejoice, slaves; it is the birthday of the one who makes you lords. Rejoice, free people; it is the birthday of the one … Read More →

Family Prayers as a Cure for Arrogant Self-Reliance

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (0) 8 Minutes Read 1777 Views (0)

Five reasons why we should pray together as a family: curing the family from an arrogant attitude Our attitude toward prayer describes our view of God. If we’re Christians but rather prayer-less, pastor and author Tim Keller has an appropriate term that I thinks fits us: “functional atheists.” In other words, we mouth dependence on God but act as if we’re self-sufficient superheroes because of our infrequent prayers.  In a word, we are just plain arrogant. At home, we’re trying to … Read More →

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).

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 →
