A New Song

On April 6, 2014 By Carter
The psalms are filled with exclamations. In them you see the affections of the author as he represents the people. While they are filled with truth, they often give expression to the way that truth affects the heart of author. As such, they show us how truth can and should move our own hearts. Salvation [...]

Old Testament Brutality – what’s that all about?

On March 11, 2014 By Carter
And when they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, “Come near; put your feet on the necks of these kings.” Then they came near and put their feet on their necks. And Joshua [...]

What is Mardi Gras and Lent?

On March 5, 2014 By Carter
Should I “fast” from something? Yesterday, as I was picking up my daughter from gymnastics, I overheard her coach ask the kids, “do you know what Mardi Gras is?” It is a great question. And since it is question that comes from the Church’s liturgical calendar, I figured I ought to have an answer for [...]

God’s Resources

On February 19, 2014 By Carter
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.   I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine.  “If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are mine.  Do I eat the flesh of bulls [...]

The Trap of Pleasure Pursuits

On January 21, 2014 By Carter
Day 21. The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.  All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back. (Proverbs 21:25-26 ESV) Without training and discipline, this is where we find our children…and ourselves. Read Full Article →

Resisting God’s Call

On January 19, 2014 By Carter
Day 19. But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” (EXO 4:13 ESV) When God calls Moses to deliver Israel Moses makes all sorts of excuses, all of which God patiently addresses, before finally getting to this. This is insightful in understanding God’s call. It isn’t always to something that we want to [...]

A Needed Prayer

On January 18, 2014 By Carter

Prayer “walk”

On January 14, 2014 By Carter
Busy day today. Breakfast with Carl at 5:30, staff meeting at 9am, worship meeting at 10am, Christ Together lunch from 11:30-2pm (and session meeting tonight!). Busy but good. In our Christ Together meeting (with Katy area pastors) I brought up our current challenge in adopting a geographic area to reach with the gospel, which goes [...]

Faith Looks forward to the City of God

On December 15, 2013 By Carter
Day 348. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. (HEB 11:10 ESV) These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For [...]

Let weakness lead you to God

On December 13, 2013 By Carter
Day 346. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help [...]
