It was first preached at Christ Community Church in Daytona Beach, Florida. Gratitude isn't just a nice thing, it's crucial and powerful. Nurture it!

In this episode Peter and I discuss another one of God's incommunicable attributes: Immutability. Malachi 3:6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.” Hebrews 6:17-18 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of t...

In this episode we begin a new series in which we will be exploring what you might call a doctrinal survey of the story of redemption.

With this episode Peter and I wrap up our series on The Dynamics of Spiritual Life, An Evangelical Theology of Renewal, by Richard Lovelace.

The penultimate chapter of Lovelace's classic work on spiritual renewal focuses on the issue of gospel-centered concern for social issues. What fuels it and what impedes it and how true renewal empowers and inspires concern for justice and for mercy.

The Evangelical Muse - Chapter 11, The Dynamics of Spiritual Life. In this episode Peter and I discuss Richard Lovelace's take on the relationship between Evangelical Renewal and the Arts.

This chapter explores the relationship between church unity and revival. Does renewal and or revival produce more division or more unity in the church?
