In what should only be described as the most theologically inaccurate picture ever taken at Southwood you have Rev. Ken Leggett, Rev. Jean F. Larroux, III and Dr. Mike Honeycutt posing after my installation service. Please post your suggestion for the best caption for this photo—- winner gets a Starbucks gift card and coffee with Larroux and Leggett! Entries can be submitted through January 31, 2010.

“Jesus + Nothing = Everything will remind you of the ancient yet ever-fresh truth that everything we need is found in the perfections of Christ—not in ourselves, not in our reputation, our relationships or wealth or accomplishments—in Christ alone. If you’ve never rested in the finished work of Christ this book is for you. If you’ve rested in it for decades like I have, this book is for you, too. Why? Because we forget; And, although we love Jesus, we’re blind to the ways in which his work connects to our daily lives and we wonder why joy and zeal are foreign concepts to us.” -Elyse Fitzpatrick

From the publisher: “It is a deep and rich biblical study of sanctification - how Christians grow in holiness and become more like Jesus. In a day when Christians are very prone to pursue self-help methods to grow in obedience to Christ, Walter Marshall lays out the biblical way of growth: obedience comes as Christians live by grace, in union with Christ, by faith.” This book influenced me PROFOUNDLY on the topic of sanctification. The Modern-English re-write makes this a TOP PICK for 2011!

I ‘accidentally’ picked up this book simply for the title alone. I grew to hate it quickly. It hit a little ‘too close to home.’ Fischer’s book plunges the scalpel of self-awareness and need for deep repentance deep into the hard hearts of Pharisees like ME!

- Redeemer Presbyterian Church
Ricky JonesRicky Jones is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is a trophy of grace. If you want to listen to bold preaching by a man who knows his sin, knows his weaknesses and trusts only Jesus to take what he says and use it to God’s glory then you are heading in the right direction. The preaching is bold, the preacher is humble and you will be blessed.
- Key Life Ministries
Steve BrownSteve Brown is not the most subtle guy you will ever meet. If I were to write an S.A.T. question about Steve this is how it would go: Steve Brown is to legalism what a child hopped-up on cake and ice cream is to an pinata! I love this guy. Check out his website and fair warning: you are not heading to a ‘SAFE’ little Christian site!

Not only are you theologically inaccurate, you are in the wrong order. It’s see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
Jean Larroux | January 06 2011 at 7:56 am
Priceless! I think we actually thought of that and then stood in the wrong order!

Ken could never keep his mouth shut for that long. Mike doesn’t want to see what will now happen to his beloved Southwood. Jean will hear none of that nonsense…

Presbyterian pastors can’t keep their evils in order.

Which of these efforts should I try first? All three simultaneously is more than I could achieve.

Nice sermon today. A bit more inspiring than the standard “we’re broken” that has done so much that it’s now almost just going through the motion.
Yes, James May (i.e. Top Gear…watch it and you’ll get the joke) did have a bit of it in his prayer, but more limited than usual.
Back to the sermon. Very inspiring. Reminded me of the High Flight TV sign-offs and when I used to go hunting and when the sun’s ray would just start to peak through the trees at first light and cause dew to form on my arms. I would just lay down my rifle and become engulfed at the wonderment of it all. Needless to say, I “never saw anything” or they were “just out of range”.
I enjoyed the part about looking in the mirror as well. My “standard” prayer is thanking God for my wife and daughter, acknowledging that I’m not worthy of either and asking for guidance in being a good husband, father, and provider.
I’ll spend a bit more time shaving now.

Three pastor’s evils: Saying too much, not listening enough, and short sighted.

There once were three men in black,
Who drank coffee in exchange for some flack.
Said Jean, “Please don’t say!”
And Mike’s eyes turned away,
When Ken realized it was Kopi Luwak!

Even if man removed himself from all humanity and lived in the most remote corner of earth, he could not escape the sound of his own corrupt thoughts; for in loneliness, even the most beautiful sights would evoke the evil of insanity. But if we should be so blessed to see the glory of God, to hear His Word, and praise His goodness, our hearts could not bare to live with evil long enough to pass it on, and what first originated in darkness would dwindle into the light.
Sharla Grable | January 10 2011 at 11:56 pm
If no one ever allows me to speak, hear, or see what’s evil, how can God correct me and teach me what’s right? Me best and hardest learning experiences were unfortunately when I’ve made a fool of myself, or have been on the receiving end of some hateful act.
