http://wmcgrew.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. Psalm 42:1 A song of the sons of Korah. Saturday, October 31, 2015. Did You Know John MacArthur Has A Side Job, Selling You Out? 8220;Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made. You overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 8220;I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the. Draw away the disciples after them.

Archive for March, 2009. On March 26, 2009 by cockett1. Christianity has become much too cerebral in many ways. It’s all head and very little heart, at least in that part of the Anglican Church I serve in, the Church in Wales. But Christianity is not an idea its life. It’s not just a sensible, logical or intellectually satisfying concept, its a falling in love, head over heels, with God. We can all relate to God in this way and be good Christian people, living out the faith as a mixture of religious rule...

Archive for July, 2008. Objections – real and imagined. On July 29, 2008 by cockett1. Some of my ‘objections’ to Orthodoxy centre around evangelism. One for example runs like this. How relevant is orthodoxy to young people today? Doesn’t it run counter-culturally in terms of length of services, ancient language, music that eschews the use of guitars and instruments, written in a style which is a million miles away from the popular music of today and clergy wearing robes that date back centuries?

Church Services – For believers or unbelievers – Part 1? On March 24, 2009 by cockett1. One of the questions that is excercising the church at the moment – whether it is aware of it or not – is the question articulated above. Are the services of the Church, our regular Sunday worship, primarily for those who are seeking, or those who have found, faith? It is an important question because on the answer depends what sort of Church we are building and what sort of services we hold. And second, it is difficu...

Dive down into your self, away from sin, and there you will find the steps by which you can ascend.”. And one of my favourites – because it challenges me:. All Saints of North America. Oh ta...

Archive for August, 2008. With tags True worship. On August 27, 2008 by cockett1. That is the question that haunts me at the moment. That is what is making me tired. It’s very changelessness makes it an oasis in a desert society where more has become definitely less. And there is the whole argument about when does worship cease to become worship and instead become entertainment? If I don’t get anything out of worship is that a reason to change the worship? But who lays down that line? So you (whoever you...

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne; they cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth? 8221;( Revelation 6:9-10). Commenting on the above passage in one of her many excellent articles, Frederica Mathewes-Green writes:. All Saints Or...

A certain Christian man went to consult Abba Silouan. 8220;Do as you like,” Abba Silouan told him with indifference. 8220;Do you not think, Father, that when he is punished, and especially severely, as he should be, his soul will be saved? 8221; asked the man, who was now beginning to show concern for the welfare of his enemy’s soul. 8220;Do whatever gives you peace,” the Saint continued to say, with the same air. He began the ‘Our Father.’. 8220;Wh...
