Three Lessons I’m Still Learning

By Carter On September 28, 2016 · Add Comment
Lesson 1: I Need Rest You’ve probably already noticed how we tend to live for those vacations, even if their just a weekend. We call them “vacations” because we “vacate” the rhythms of daily routines and get away. We have high expectations for vacations too. We expect them to excite us; to infuse us with [...]

Wine in the Cup

On April 26, 2016 By Carter
This Sunday (May 1) we will be adding wine to the tray for the Lord’s Supper so that wine and grape juice are both available. As we prepare to make the change, it’s important to talk about why. Why wine? The simplest and best answer is because that is what was in the cup at [...]

On May 27, 2015 By Carter
I had hoped to publish the Neighbors of Memorial Parkway survey results in the June newsletter but alas, the job proved bigger than I anticipated. It will come soon, however. In the meantime, I thought it would be helpful to publish the books on my summer reading list. Here goes: Newton on the Christian Life: To [...]

To Serve or Be Served?

On March 27, 2015 By Carter
That’s a relevant question for today’s culture. We live in a fast-paced culture where the expectation is that you fill-up your schedule with all kinds of activities for you and your kids.

Resurrection!

On January 7, 2015 By Carter
Job’s suffering is so great that he longs for the grave as a respite from God’s wrath. Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would conceal me until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! (Job 14:13) Is there hope beyond, he wonders. He knows that God [...]

When God Searches You Out

On January 6, 2015 By Carter
When I started this blog the idea was to publish it daily on a thought or prayer that struck me from my daily Bible reading. While I did finish the readings for the year, I drifted out of the habit of writing about it. Perhaps this year I can be more consistent. We’ll see. In [...]

Strength of Families

On June 23, 2014 By Carter
  If you believe in God, and more specifically in Christ, you live in the midst of a spiritual war. If you’re serious about living a godly life, defined by kingdom values and empowered by the gospel then you will run up against the world, the flesh and the devil. That’s just reality. [...]

Saving Faith is Evidenced By Godliness

On June 21, 2014 By Carter
“For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, then I will let you [...]

Growing into a Leader

On May 12, 2014 By Carter
I just read a fascinating interview with Michael Lindsey regarding his book, View from the Top: An Inside Look at How People in Power See and Shape the World. The interview focuses on developing leaders. Not surprisingly, it involved mentoring. there are certain things that happen uniquely in Christian institutions of education that make a [...]

Is there a Predisposition to Homosexuality?

On May 2, 2014 By Carter
And does it matter? One of the arguments influencing our society, including evangelicals, is built on the premise that people are predisposed to a particular sexual preference. The argument is simple: since some are born with a predisposition to homosexuality, it would be a sin for them to deny the way God made them. This is how [...]
