preparing for your funeral
Kevin DeYoung recently posted this great quote from J.C. Ryle reflecting on death and what makes you a true believer: “When we have carried you to your narrow bed, let us not have to hunt up stray words, and scraps of religion, in order to make out that you were a true believer. Let us…

the old testament is about Jesus – all of it
As I was reading the most recent Towers publication this morning, I found this article by Josh Hayes summarizing Dr. Mohler’s sermon at the recent “Gospel Coalition National Conference.” Mohler’s address is about how the Old Testament is all about Jesus.

mother’s day sermon
You can listen to yesterday’s Mother’s Day sermon here. I jumped around from various texts, but I mainly looked at Proverbs 31:28 “her children rise up and call her blessed”. I didn’t want to preach to mothers as much as I wanted to preach to everyone who has a mother. Here were my 3 points:…
