The Preacher's Heart

Robert Murray McCheyne on the preacher and preaching:

“Today, missed some fine opportunity of speaking a word for Christ. The Lord saw that I would have spoken as much for my own honour as for His, and therefore He shut my mouth. I see a man cannot be a faithful, fervent minister until he preaches just for Christ’s sake, until he gives up trying to attract people to himself, and seeks to attract them to Christ. Lord, give me this.”

Lord thank you for McCheyne’s heart. Lord give me this too.

Masculinity and Christianity

Dr. Al Mohler has written an excellent blog on masculinity. It is worth the read.

A note to men on masculinity and Christianity. Standing firm on the gospel, for the gospel and covenant keeping is the best foundation on which masculinity should build. It is better than extreme sports, big trucks, motorcycles, sexual conquest or anything else markets itself as proof that that you are a man. Masculinity is best developed and defined in Christianity. Likewise, femininity develops the fullness of its character in Christianity.
