On these pages you’ll find some excerpts and extended thoughts on various topics such as church life, theology, biblical living, and much more.
Periodically, good quotes are worthy of our pondering. Here’s one from Edward Payson: “Every real Christian may say Christ is mine. There are five different ways in which any thing may become ours. The first is by formation or production. In this way the articles which we construct, and the fruits of the earth which…
“How do you do church? What does your service look like?” This question came up in a discussion about Reformed Baptist Churches recently. I took the opportunity to share our church order of worship and, since it is handy, I thought I’d post it here for any potential people checking us out. Here’s what you…
As we wrap up our sermon series on the book of [esvignore]1st Samuel[/esvignore] this Sunday, it is a time to think back on what we’ve learned. Being a book lover and one who loves the process of study, reading and research, I love to compile a bibliography (here’s why.) For those who wish to study…

One of the benefits of preparing a sermon each week is the joy of studying from many good books. I love to spend time with my author friends who I have never met, most of them are dead by now. These men labored for the Lord in a manner at which I can only marvel.…
Recently we have enjoyed a sermon about the Supremacy of the Word of God in the life of the believer. A similar theme appeared in my reading this week and I believe it is worthy of sharing. This comes from a lecture extolling the virtues of expository preaching. Expository preaching steps through a book or…
As we enter the new year, I thought it would be helpful to periodically share various resources, quotes or selections from various Christian works that may be useful in personal or family study. I also want to share commercial vendors that supply excellent resources to build up the church. That’s the focus of this post.…
Another blog post on confessions? Yes, once again, because we’ve been enjoying our London Baptist Confession course, and I’ve been enjoying preparing for it. We believe it is important for our families to understand our beliefs as a church and our heritage as “Particular Baptists” or “Reformed Baptists.” So, what is a confessional church? It…
