Daily Bale for March 26, 2011
Boy, what a day. Saturdays are my “day off,” but more often than not they seem busier than my “work” days!!! (And, yes, that is a badger that got “baled” heh heh.) Andy and I went up to a meeting in Jefferson in the morning. Then, upon arriving in Orwell,…

A Throne of Grace!
A throne of grace! Then let us go And offer up our prayer; A gracious God will mercy show To all that worship there. A throne of grace! O at that throne Our knees have often bent, And God has showered his blessings down As often as we went. A…

Preparation for Worship
Thy promise, Lord, and thy command, Have brought us here today; And now, we humbly waiting stand To hear what thou wilt say. Meet us, we pray, with words of peace, And fill our hearts with love; That from our follies we may cease, And henceforth faithful prove. —Olney Hymns,…

Rick Warren’s Latest
Several of the folks of Orwell Bible Church came because the church they were attending bought into the “Purpose Driven Church” philosophy promoted by Rick Warren. I think it is important to be aware of what men like Rick Warren are doing, but not for the purpose of being on…

Jesus Christ
Thy Son is our only refuge, foundation, hope, confidence; We depend upon his death, rest in his righteousness, desire to bear his image; May his glory fill our minds, his love reign in our affections, his cross inflame us with ardor. Valley of Vision, p. 399.

Okay, so it’s been a week since I’ve logged anything in my journal. Time to rectify that. I won’t try to recap the last week, but it’s been a good, busy one with an OBF conference, church services, and Bible class preparation and teaching. Today started off with the power…

September 16, 2010
For my Bible reading this morning, I read one of my favorite chapters, 2 Corinthians 5. Verse 15 has been a “hit-between-the-eyes” challenge since I heard it preached my first year in chapel at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College— καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντων ἀπέθανεν ἵνα οἱ ζῶντες μηκέτι ἑαυτοῖς ζῶσιν ἀλλὰ τῷ ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀποθανόντικαὶ ἐγερθέντι. Changed the thermostat in the van; I miss Jess, our…

Christ the Believer’s All
by Joseph Hart (1712-1768) Lamb of God, we fall before thee, Humbly trusting in thy cross. That alone be all our glory; All things else are dung and dross. Thee we own a perfect Savior; Only Source of all that’s good. Every grace and every favor Come to us thro’…

Great Sinners Need a Great Savior
While doing some preparatory work for this coming Sunday’s message from John 1:3-5, I was reminded of some of John Newton’s last words before his death: My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things — that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Savior.…

Problem Here
Okay, I just got another Christian Book Distributor’s catalog, their Christmas Gifts edition. Now, I order a few books from CBD [heh heh], so it’s not all bad. But remember–it’s a business. Sadly, in order to make a buck they sell a fair amount of trinkets. What I saw on…
