Wycliffe BBQ
Rick & Lori MacLean spoke about the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators on Saturday evening at Credo, after games & a delicious BarBQ together.
" 'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' " Matt. 28:19-20

Worship Music
Our visit to a local Alliance church last Sunday morning (a friend of mine from work became a Christian last year and invited us to hear him give his testimony) reminded us of how important it is to have and maintain the right songs in worship. Their "worship" music was repetitive lyrics, void of Biblical content, coupled with loud energy and rhythm designed to move the body ahead of the mind.
In 1876, R.L. Dabney, speaking against the popular gospel songs of his day, wrote: "we shall in the end have a mass of corrupting religious poetry against which the church will have to wage a sore contest." The danger, Dabney warned, "is that of habituating the taste of Christians to a very vapid species of pious doggerel, containing the most diluted possible traces of saving truth, suitable to the most infantile faculties, supplemented by a jingle of vain repetitions." Ouch! How much more does Dabney's warning apply to us in 2005! (Quoted in "With Reverence and Awe: Returning to the Basics of Reformed Worship" by D.G. Hart & J.R. Muether.)
According to Hart and Muether, "Worship music is threatening to undo the one trait that has always characterized Reformed worship, namely, the centrality of the Word." (pg 174)

In Our Gardens...
"For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."

If you don't know your history, you are bound to repeat it...
In The Value of Learning History by John Piper, he ends with: "Is it not clear, then, that God ordains that events happen and that they get recorded as history so that we will learn them and become wiser and more insightful about the present for the sake of Christ and his church. Never stop learning history. Gain some knowledge every day. And let us give our children one of the best protections against the folly of the future, namely, a knowledge of the past."
Besides reading the Bible to our kids - the most important way of giving our children a knowledge of the past - we use Veritas Press History which does a great job of going chronologically through world history intergrating biblical and secular history together. After all, it is all His Story. God is sovereignly working everything together for His glory.
