In reading 1 Kings I’m appalled by Solomon’s fall. In chapter 8 we find Solomon’s epic recital of God’s greatness at the dedication of the new temple. Again, in chapter 9, God appeared to him a second time and promised: “I have consecrated this house that you have built, by putting my name there forever. …
Since it is 2011 and the 400th anniversary of a certain English Bible, we decided to offer a podcast conversation on Bible reading. Peter and Ron discuss the role of the Bible in the believer’s life, and what it looks like to read the Bible relationally. This podcast lasts just over 17 minutes.
Consider the Serpent’s second statement to Eve, how he discounted the promise of death and offered an alternative that obviously captured her heart in some way, “your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
The devastating effects of humanity’s perpetual pursuit of godlikeness is obvious all around us. But I’ve been pondering how easily Christians also fall for this temptation, and yet somehow we do it in a sort of “sanctified” or “Christian” way. Three examples . . .
As a new year arrives we often look back to events of the passing year, searching for a bit of perspective. It’s as if we’re seeking to weigh our recent life events in the context of passing time. But what is perspective, really? One sense of the term speaks of what an artist does to …

It comes from God, who as the Triune One, exists in his eternal life of communion, with the Father and Son always exchanging a …
On Saturday we had the Discover Cor Deo day, which was the first to be held in the room where Cor Deo will be meeting regularly from February. Ron joined me to share some reflections on the day, which forms the basis for our first Cor Deo podcast. These will come out periodically and hopefully …
Every Christian I know would affirm that the Bible is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. Strangely, many seem to think it is as cold as one too. How often the Bible is treated as a cold set of sharp propositions, a repository of truth statements that are precise and sharp, but cold …
A big part of Cor Deo training includes reading and interacting with good books. One of the books that has encouraged me recently is A Praying Life by Paul Miller. We want to encourage you to read good books with us, so at the end of December we will be giving away three copies. I’ll …
One of my special moments in life came in Israel when I watched a young boy run after a man, calling out “Abba, Abba!” For the first time I had a tangible sense of what God offers us in Christ: an invitation to call him “Daddy!” The confidence and energy of that Israeli youngster spoke …
