Service That Makes Sense -- Part Three

By James Boice

Service That Makes Sense
Romans 12:1-2
Theme: Reasonable sacrifices.
This week’s lessons explore the reasons we should be eager to offer ourselves to God.
 
 
Lesson

Yesterday I mentioned the night the angel came and wrestled with Jacob to bring him to the point of personal submission. But let's not wait for the angel to wrestle with us. Let's deal with this matter of sacrificial service to God now. Why is such demanding service so reasonable?

Living in the shadow of a celebrity

It was kind of Tim Challies to link to the latest episode of Mortification of Spin. However, in his plug for the program he wrote:

In this podcast Carl Trueman and the rest of his Mortification of Spin crew have a discussion about Sarah Young's mega-selling, mega-problematic Jesus Calling.

"Carl Trueman and the rest of HIS Mortification of Spin crew"?

The Creator and the Creature

Posted 4/3/14 by Donald Barnhouse

Enmity was put between Satan and the Lord Jesus (Gen. 3:15). Whenever we contrast these two, the creature and the Creator, the wonders of our Lord Jesus shine out as in no other comparison. This thought occurred to me while I was studying the meanings of some of the names of Satan. He is called "the accuser of the brethren," but our Lord is "the Mediator for the brethren"; Satan is called "the slanderer," but the Lord will find something to praise even in those who at the best are unprofitable servants.

Lesson

To understand this verse well, we must understand the kind of service that is required. We have already spent a good bit of time exploring what this kind of service is about. It concerns what Paul calls "sacrifice." When we were looking at it in detail earlier, we saw that it involves three things.

Five More Reasons Why You Should Read Jonathan Edwards

by David Filson • April 02, 2014

In the last post I sought to whet your appetite for the theological greatness and understanding the worthiness of studying Jonathan Edwards. We considered his love for the Trinity, how lively was his doctrine in his preaching, that he was inovatively Redemptive Historical, that his homiletic was suffused with a beautiful Christology and that he was deeply biblical, yet not naively biblicist.

In keeping with the opening illustration from that first post, my desire is for this post to be a cup of water to keep you in the race. Maybe, you considered the reasons in the last post and began to tackle something in JE, yet you are starting to feel the burn. As you come round the turn try to lay hold of 5 more reasons why we should marinate in JE today:

In the last post I sought to whet your appetite for appreciating the theological greatness and understanding the worthiness of studying Jonathan Edwards. We considered his love for the Trinity, how lively was his doctrine in his preaching, that he was innovative with Redemptive History, that his homiletic was suffused with a beautiful Christology and that he was deeply biblical--yet not naively biblicist.

The prism is a light breaker. The pure, clear light passes through the varied facets of the prism and is broken into red, orange, yellow all the shades of color. Science has studied it all out and found that it all works according to cold law. The sun shines through the warm spring rain; the drops of water catch the light, break it to pieces, and throw it across the sky in the glory of a rainbow.

Pastors and Blogs

Posted on Wednesday, April 2, 2014 by Aimee Byrd on Housewife Theologian

If pastors and elders are to serve their congregation well, what are their responsibilities when it comes to being aware of what Christians are reading? I'm sure that a mere twenty years ago, aspiring pastors never thought that reading or writing blogs would be a valuable resource to their ministry.

Lesson

Today we come to the last phrase of Romans 12:1, "which is your spiritual worship," and I want to begin by saying something that I know will be disturbing to some people. The Greek words of this phrase are ambiguous. That is, they can be translated more than one way.

Our Soveriegn

Posted 4/1/14 by Donald Barnhouse

It is not astounding that the world often makes itself foolish. The world works by the rule of knowledge, and God clearly tells us that if the world leaders had "known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Cor. 2:8). We have a right, therefore, to pity those who go against God's plan. "The god of this age hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Cor. 4:4).
