Dr. Dennis Johnson has compiled a selection of sermons published by Crossway that is a must read for anyone looking for Christ in the whole of the Bible (or seeking to deliver sermons that are truly preaching, that is, proclamations of the gospel.) I am not one given to reading sermons or texts on how to preach, but I read this book as Dr. Johnson kindly gave me a copy (not only to me but to everyone who attended a luncheon hosted by Westminster Seminary at the General Assembly meetings of the Presbyterian Church in America this past June in Orlando.) The book is a tribute to the gospel preaching of Dr. Edmund P. Clowney.
The book is well worth its price to read and read again Tim Keller’s sermon on Genesis 29: 15-35, titled, “The Girl Nobody Wanted.” Continue reading »

Silber Media recently interviewed Oregon Indie musician, Matthew Kendall, leader of Rogue Motel asking him: Do you think being a father or a musician has a greater impact on your community?
Matt – Father for sure. I’m directly responsible for two little souls that are going to enter the community at large & be a part of it. Most people in my community don’t know my music.… Ha! (read the whole interview)
Actually more of us are discovering Matt’s music and you can hear Rogue Motel at the Buffalo Gap in Portland and access music at www.roguemotel.com/

This past Sunday at Evergreen Presbyterian Church in Beaverton, those of us gathered had the privilege of hearing elder Michael Kane deliver a charge to Dann Golden-Collum at his ordination as an elder. The ongoing result is the ringing of the gospel in our ears and hearts.

Which U.S.A. President made each of the following statements about Islam?

1) “There is a remarkable trend toward fundamentalism in all
religions, including the different denominations of
Christianity as well as Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam.
Increasingly, true believers are inclined to begin a process of
deciding: ‘Since I am aligned with God, I am superior and my
beliefs should prevail, and anyone who disagrees with me is
inherently wrong.’”

2) “Islam is a peace-loving faith that is practiced by more than one billion people, including millions of American Muslims.”

3) “The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims.”

4) “Among some Muslims, there’s a disturbing tendency to measure one’s own faith by the rejection of somebody else’s faith. The richness of religious diversity must be upheld.”

5) “Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.”
