Worth listening to…Don Carson | 3:17
https://three17.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/worth-listening-to
8230;living for God in Donegal…. March 5, 2009. Worth listening to…Don Carson. Mark Dever interviews Don Carson about his books – sounds tediously dull, but Don Carson has written some of the best books across a wide range of subjects for Christians. Think of it more as an introduction to Carson’s books and what to look for. Its also has a couple of great insights into the man himself. You can find it here. My picks of Carson’s books are:. Difficult Doctrine of the love of God. Sermon on the Mount. I wil...

Living in a world of unfairness | 3:17
https://three17.wordpress.com/2009/03/12/living-in-a-world-of-unfairness
8230;living for God in Donegal…. March 12, 2009. Living in a world of unfairness. A yearly pension of 693,000 for the former boss of a bank which recorded losses last year of 24 billion. People investing for years in pension schemes only to see them crash and leave them with nothing. Banks pulling in loans on little customers while writing off colossal debts of bigger ones as ‘unrecoverable’. Bankers playing games with figures on paper, while mounting massive debts. Or we despair, simply because we feel ...

The Punches Pastors Never See Coming | Radical Discipleship
https://4given2serve.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/the-punches-pastors-never-see-coming
The Punches Pastors Never See Coming. December 10, 2013. Looking back on more than a decade of vocational ministry, the difficulties I anticipated are not the difficulties I have experienced. Would knowing these challenges in advance have helped me and my family to persevere through them? I’m not sure. I do know, however, that I talk about them with every intern I oversee in the hopes that their adjustment will be smoother than mine has been. 1 Attacks from within. I wonder how many enter vocational mini...

Relentless Grace: October 2007
http://relentlessgrace.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God - 2 Cor. 5:21. Why I am not a (Capital C) Catholic. I am a catholic because the church is universal. The Reformed Protestants are not the only believers professing Christ, which is the only basis for salvation. I am not a Catholic for the Vatican teaches salvation by works. Luther, Calvin, and the myriad of reformers correctly saw the need for gospel revival and reformation within Rome. Rules for a...

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God - 2 Cor. 5:21. Is really growing on me over these past few months. For starters they have Carl Trueman. Specifically I admire their Biblical Counseling (Christian Counseling Education Foundation) and their new Gospel and Culture Project.

Relentless Grace: December 2007
http://relentlessgrace.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God - 2 Cor. 5:21. Christian Liberty, Church Wear, and Voting. Those are things for me to talk about with my dear friends who tell me to dress up more for church. But here is the idea I ponder, does the Bible tell us how to vote? Does Christian liberty apply to how believers vote? I have read an account by Anne Rice, a Catholic and a novelist who is a pro lifer, yet is supporting Hillary Clinton. Pleas...

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God - 2 Cor. 5:21. A Keller quote from Kemeny's brief devotion yesterday, (I asked him for the text). Think about the implications of this for your life.". Posted by Robbie Schmidtberger.

Book Review: The Things of Earth – Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts by Joe Rigney | 3:17
https://three17.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/the-things-of-earth-treasuring-god-by-enjoying-his-gifts
8230;living for God in Donegal…. March 30, 2015. Book Review: The Things of Earth – Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts by Joe Rigney. If, as some church historians say, the Reformation was a discussion that took place in Augustine’s head, then this book is a discussion that takes place in the head of John Piper. Or to put it biblically How do we Set our minds on things above (Col 3:2) and yet Taste and see that God is good (Ps. 34:8)? I have a vested interested in the answer to this one! Rigney starts ...

8230;living for God in Donegal…. February 20, 2009. Best news item of the day. Garda (police for those of you not in Ireland) officers have at long last caught up with the notorious Polish driver Prawo Jazdy. He has numerous offences all over the country, given a string of false addresses, and eluded fixed penalty charges. Almost too good to be true. Laquo; Answering fools according to their folly.
