Avoid the Language of “Already, and Not Yet”
Since I have been deeply involved in the eschatology debate for over ten years, had some of my works published in other eschatology websites, interviewed postmillennial authors, and have been in the healthy business of proselytizing premils to the postmil … Continue reading

Pastoral Meditation on God’s Justice for the Season of Lent
We treasure by our very nature as new creation beings (II Cor. 5) the justice of God upon injustice. We are imprecational beings. The Psalms are given for and to us for a particular reason. They are our prayers. They … Continue reading

The Joy of Christian Roaring
As Jim Jordan makes his way to his piano bench, he looks at us and with youthful excitement asks: “Are you ready to roar?” We all exclaim with one voice Roaaaaarr! It seems rather infantile, but in reality we are made … Continue reading

Exhortation: The Voice of Yahweh
In the Psalm we are reciting this morning we will hear a lot about the voice of Yahweh. Psalm 29 says some spectacular things about what the voice of Yahweh accomplishes. It literally transforms the landscape of the desert, makes … Continue reading

Psalm 148, From Heave’n All Praise the Lord
Here is a recording of Psalm 148 from one of our Psalm-Roars last year. Spurgeon on Psalm 148: Assuredly he has made you, and, if for nothing else, ye are bound, upon the ground of creatureship, to adore your Maker.
