The results of Genesis 3 are evident every day. This world is a sin-stained place. Yesterday in church we were praying for some friends 7000 miles away who were robbed and shot. Of course crime is not only a foreign problem, it strikes closer to home too. Sin is lawlessness, and crime will remain an …
Jesus was a popular figure in his day, especially among the hungry, the lame, the blind, the unclean, and the despairing. Enough so that among the privileged classes it was both a jealousy for their own standing and a fear of the unruly crowds that led them to crucify Jesus. Yet at one point—as reported …
At Cor Deo we are excited about good books! One book we appreciate is Experiencing the Trinity by Darrell Johnson. To encourage folks to read this, we are giving away three copies. I will explain the give-away at the end of this post. At less than 100 pages, this little book does not take long …
For all its complexity, the Bible has a habit of presenting things along pairs of trajectories. Characters in the Bible, like us, are either acting in faith or in fear; out of love or hate; and hope, or, well, hopelessness. So what is the opposite of hope? I was struck by this comment in A …

The course in Sri Lanka had ended. The students had preached their messages, the final tests were graded and returned, everything was done for the week. But then we started to go back over one of the passages some of them had preached. For the next ninety minutes we delved deeper and deeper into the …

I don’t want to open a debate about judging whether or not someone else is saved – I fully understand that only God can know where any individual stands. However, pastorally, I know it is important that we don’t invest our energies in assuring someone of their salvation if they are not saved. This happens …
What about the Spirit? What should we make of his place in the Trinity, and in our lives? Our response to that question, whatever it is, will say much about how we live out our faith. With that in mind let me mention, very briefly, some common points of view, then offer my own. And …
It’s a great feeling to be able to enjoy something new. A new house, a new computer, or even a new friendship. Even if it is isn’t new, but is new to you, it can be a real blessing. I’m enjoying the blessing of all three right now. But I know that the new and …
