Good Friday Round Up

(1) I am not at all sure about the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin but it was certainly interesting to but its still worth getting the gist of – the bottom line is that its more than ok to use the term “Easter” and we are not worshipping pagan gods when we do so.

(3) If you would like to watch something online, but obviously still relevant regarding the evidence for the resurrection of Christ:

(4) The resources in this week’s Friday Ligonier $5 sale are very well worth considering, found here.

I am praying that this is the most blessed Easter weekend in your life so far!

Four Videos

As a supplement to the “Twelve What Abouts – Answering Common Objections Concerning God’s Sovereignty in Election” book, here’s some video teaching I put together.

(1) The first session is on John chapter 6, verse 35 and following:

(2) Covering Scriptures in Matthew 11 and Romans 8:28-30, here’s a 27 minute teaching I did on Divine election and how it relates to evangelism, as well as what is referred to as the Golden Chain of Redemption.

(3) Romans 9 stands like Mount Everest – a majestic, spectacular, lofty and immutable testimony to God’s supremacy and sovereignty in salvation. Here’s a 36 minute video teaching I did on the chapter:

(4) Many Christians reject the biblical doctrine of God’s sovereignty in election because of traditions associated with the love of God and what amounts to a pagan concept of the human will, as I seek to explain in this 20 minute video teaching:

Time Management

Non Christians often have great insights about many different things. We are foolish if we have the idea that only Bible believing Christians can teach us anything. Jesus once said, “For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.” (Luke 16:8) How true this is.

Stephen Covey (who died at the age of 79 last year) was a Mormon. I would therefore have strong disagreement with him on spiritual and theological matters. Yet there is no doubting the fact that he had tremendous insight in the arena of business and leadership. He was the author of numerous books including the best seller, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” as well as “First Things First,” “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families,” “Principle-Centered Leadership” and “The 8th Habit.”

Here he is giving the most powerful illustration I have ever seen concerning time management.
