Beware of both undevotional theology and untheological devotion.

“Let it be our unceasing prayer, that as we grow older, we may not grow colder in the ways of God. As we advance in years, let us not decline in spiritual power; but let us see to it that an increase of spiritual vigour and energy be found in us, that our last days may be our best days.” —George Müller

“You will certainly carry out God’s purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John.” —C.S. Lewis

There is tremendous relief in knowing that his [God's] love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself... --JI Packer

Happy 80th birthday, Pastor John! God has been greatly glorified in you, because you have been so deeply satisfied in him — and because you’ve brought so many of us into that supreme Joy.

I encourage everyone to listen to this message. Piper’s point is that Christians must not be more devoted to nation/ethnicity than to Christ. This shouldn’t be controversial at all among Christians. It is a biblical statement of ordered loves, at the top of which must always be Christ and his kingdom (Matt. 6:33). When these loves are in order, it fuels global missions. When these loves are out of order it kills missions and authentic Christianity.

Algorithms and the Affections John Piper (Nov. 2025): “If you had thought that your essence of humanness in the image of God was your reasoning capacity, over an ape or a porpoise, you’re in trouble. Because, guess what? ChatGPT is smarter than you are and more creative than you are in expressing things in language that is good. It can write prayers better than you can, and it can reason through hard problems better than you can. Therefore, there are people who are going to forsake the faith because they thought to be a human in the image of God was to be a reasoning person over against the animals, and they discovered a machine can do it better than they can. Crisis of faith. This to me is no crisis because of my Christian Hedonism. I do not think that my reasoning capacities are my essence. I think the soul’s capacity to delight in God is my essence. The soul’s capacity to enjoy God. No machine will ever enjoy, period. It will have the language of enjoyment. You can tell it to write a poem of enjoyment and it will use the language. That machine is not enjoying *her*. It’s not. It never will. Only human beings created in the image of God can enjoy God. Therefore, enjoyment matters. I mean, affections are who we are ultimately. The end of history, the end of creation, is not going to be merely rational creatures thinking rightly about God, little computers. It’s going to be people who are so perceptive spiritually of the glories of God that they are full of affections that are appropriate for those glories and can give expression to them. That’s what eternity will be.” Source: Sovereign Grace Churches, Pastors Conference PreCon (November 2025)

Reminded of this in light of the devastating news about @BenSasse’s terminal diagnosis. crossway.org/articles/the-m…

“God with us”: this is hell’s terror, the sufferer’s comfort, eternity’s sonnet, heaven’s hallelujah, the shout of the glorified. Spurgeon

Listen and be blessed as Dr. Harry Reeder (1948–2023), a Westminster alumnus and long-standing board member, shows us the mystery, beauty, and glory of the advent season. Our mission is to train specialists in the Bible (like Dr. Reeder) to proclaim the whole counsel of God for Christ and his global church.

After hosting a Narnia themed Christmas party for the grandkids last night this quote made me tear up. When talking about hosting it again as they age, the parents kind of acted like we couldn’t outdo the first, but this story just gets better and better. In fiction and in life.

In hard times, don’t make your ability to understand God’s ways the condition for trusting him.

“He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel” (Gen. 3:15). Before the Lord even spells out the pain that must follow sin, he gives a promise. Even in that darkest hour, the Lord cannot wait to be gracious. —@Mike_Reeves

John Owen, in his final letter, August 23, 1683, the day before he died, to his friend Charles Fleetwood: “I am going to Him whom my soul hath loved, or rather who hath loved me with an everlasting love; which is the whole ground of all my consolation.”

Do you shove God away during your hardest times? Or do you trust in his sovereignty? If God cannot govern your moments of crisis, he cannot govern the rest of your life. Trust in his faithfulness, goodness, and sovereign wisdom in all seasons. Sermon: “How to Know the Will of God”

Satan is the Accuser. His work is to turn your eyes in on yourself and despair. The Spirit is the Comforter. His work is to turn your eyes to Jesus, the rest for our souls.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Daniel 3:16–18 When you know what you are willing to die for, then live for it with all your might.

If your theology puffs you up, you’re doing it wrong. It should drive you to your knees in wondering worship.

If you are in Christ, your judgment has already been carried out at the cross. His death was your death; his life is now in you. That’s why you can have a living hope. Sermon: For This Purpose I Have Come to This Hour

So happy for Springer. I’m ready, along with most other Astros fans, to cheer him on against the Dodgers! I miss this crew so much.
