Leaving Tomorrow!

2008-09-19T15:36:00.001-07:00

Well, tomorrow is the day! We'll be leaving to the Springfield Bible Conference at Faith Bible Church. The pastor is Curt Daniel. There's an article he wrote in one of the books I just recently got done with. He's also written a book over 500 pages on the theology and history of Calvinism and an book that's 900 pages about John Gill. And he's written more things.
He'll be preaching two messages Saturday.

Of course most of you probably know the other speaker....Paul Washer.
I remember pretty well the day I first watched a whole sermon by him. He's been a great influence in my life. He'll be speaking most of the time at the conference.

Sunday there will be a hour for a "Questions and Answers" session. All messages will be recorded and given away for free on CD or MP3. So, I hope to be able to post the messages up. They also have a book room. Them being a Reformed church I hope they will have some puritan works. I plan on bringing both of the cameras (picture and video). Maybe the hotel will have Wi-Fi so I can write updates while I'm there.
Please be praying that God will save someone there.

-Curt

Book Review #3: The Attributes of God

2008-08-21T11:04:00.000-07:00

By A.W. Pink

I had this book sitting on my bookshelf for around a year. I only read it once, and I didn’t understand it. But, I decided to read it again. I couldn’t believe I didn’t like it the first time! It hit me like a ton of bricks. This book was great! Allow me to list a few reasons why:

Pros:

1. Pink uses a bunch of Scripture. If you go to around the end of the book it has a index of Scriptures that were quoted within the book. The Scripture index is four pages long.

2. He quotes puritans (enough said).

3. He packs such a powerful punch within just a few pages. In this book Pink covers 17 attributes kind of quickly, however what he does say blows your mind away!

4. He’s very easy to understand.

Cons:

1. I would only give this book one con….. It isn’t long enough! It’s around 120 pages. I would have loved if Mr. Pink could have made this volume longer. I would have liked to read what he would have written.

Conclusion:

Don’t let the size of this book fool you. It’s only a little over 100 pages, but it packs a punch. Pink grasps your hand and takes you to theological thoughts you may have never thought of. He sort of reminds me of the interpreter in John Bunyan’s classic, as he tours Christian to several rooms to show him deep mysterious things. If you ponder upon the things you read in this book, it will really heighten your theology of our God. I especially love when he talks about the topic of unconditional election.

This would be a great book to give to any Christian. If they’re a false convert, I think it would be hard for them to read this. Since Pink expounds so much on the highness and holiness of God. You can tell one of his missions is to glorify God, and debase man.

I would recommend reading this as a devotional reading. Read a chapter everyday for 17 days. And really ponder about what is within this book. I’m very blessed to have read this.

Review #2: Jesus Among Other gods by Ravi Zacharias

2008-07-27T17:45:00.000-07:00

This is the first book of Ravi Zacharias that I have read so far. I bought this book about a year ago and I read parts but never got around to finishing it. I have watched several videos of Mr. Zacharias preaching and lecturing. He’s one of my favorite people to listen to. He has a story and an answer for almost anything. He’s pretty easy to listen to. And the same goes for reading his book.

Pros:

1. As I stated earlier he’s very easy to read. Some parts may have lost me, but through most of the book he was pretty easy to understand. His writing reminded me so much of C.S. Lewis. It was almost as if I was reading a brand new book from Lewis. (Although, I think he used Scripture more than Lewis.)

2. I love his mixture of theology and apologetics. I think it’s very important for an apologist to remember what Ravi says, “apologetics is the seasoning. The gospel is the main course.” I love how he answers questions that skeptics have today by going to the Bible.

3. I think it’s great how bold he is in the book. I’m very pleased to see he didn’t back down. He plainly tells the truth. And that’s what he calls it - TRUTH! I think it’s also brilliant how he expounds upon the uniqueness of what Jesus said compared to Buddha, Mohammed and others.

Cons:

1. Not much mention of the gospel. I would have liked Mr. Ravi to write a chapter all about the gospel. That would make it a very good book I would want to give to the lost. I would probably still give a few copies to people I know. But it would make it even better if it had a chapter all on the gospel.

2. This book is almost 200 pages long. I would have liked Ravi to make a larger book. There’s a lot more he could have mentioned. But that’s for other books I suppose.

3. I would have liked to see more theology.

Conclusion:

I would rank this as an apologetic classic, along with “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis. (Although I would note that Lewis had a lot of bad theology. But I believe he still wrote some good books. In this instance I learn to chew the meat, and spit out the bones.) If I were to make a theology/apologetics 101 list, and I could only put ten books in there, this would be on that list. It was a delight to read. And maybe someday I will read it again.

Review #1

2008-07-22T08:22:00.001-07:00

The Christian In Complete Amour

This was the first puritan work I have ever read. I’ve read books about Puritanism. And I’ve read books on sermons by puritans. But this is my first time reading a set by a puritan. And I must say, I’m very pleased.

This set was first published in three volumes in 1655, 1658 and 1662. All three volumes put together make it over 1,000 pages. But don’t let that intimidate you. It took me about two months to finish it (since I’m a slow reader). But I find it best, for me at least, that I can retain more of the book if I kind of read it slow and think about certain parts of the book. I also find it handy if you have someone to discuss it with you as you read it. I think if someone were to have a group study of this set, they could probably spend years within it. It’s one of those books where I felt like I wanted to highlight most of the book. However, I knew I had to be a little more choosey what I wanted to highlight. Or else It would be hard for me to go back and do some quick quotes. I’ve been doing that with my books for a few months now. I like to highlight certain parts. Then, I go back and take some time mediating upon those quotes.
Pros:

1. If you ever have read puritan works before you know they’re not the most easiest books to understand. Some are a little harder to read than others. But William Gurnall was surprisingly easy to understand most of the time. He had a few hard moments to try and wrap my brain around, but for most of the book he was very easy to read. It could just be that I was reading the modernized abridgment of his work. But I doubt it. I think that’s just the way Gurnall wrote.

2. Gurnall was a very gentle puritan. However, he was not squishy. He knew when to be stern. And when to be comforting. This is a pretty good work for those who need spiritual counseling, because they’re doubting whether they’re saved or not.

3. He uses Scripture a lot (of course, I think most of the puritans do). It’s hard to find a page where he doesn’t have a Bible reference.

4. Gurnall is very good with discussing spiritual warfare. It’s simply amazing how long Gurnall can expound upon Satan’s tricks, the evilness of sin (which puritans where good at that), the importance of reading our Bible, praying, etc, etc.

5. Would be very good for devotional reading. In Gurnall’s book he has a lot of really good life application.

6. The last piece of amour he expounds upon is “The Christian’s Sword.” And in my opinion it is the best chapter. It would be worth it to buy the whole set just for this chapter. In one section of the chapter, he explains how the Bible is indeed the holy word of God. And as you’re reading you think you’re reading an apologist. In fact, I think in some parts he did better than some apologists do today.

Cons:

1. It could just be the modernized abridgment of it, but every now and then you kind of wonder whether Gurnall believes in unconditional election and perseverance of the saints. Which you know he does believe in these great doctrines. But every now and then he says certain things that make you wonder if he does or not. So, it’s kind of confusing at certain moments.

2. Sometimes puritan works are a little hard to follow because of how they wrote. They have the main topic, then as they write about the main topic, they go expound upon an other topic, which they categorize into numbers. Then, they may go to letters. Then maybe more numbers. And at the time you’re done reading through all that you forget what they were first talking about. But if you can remember what the topic started with and the points they’re going through, you should be just fine.

3. Not too much mention of the cross. I would have liked Gurnall to take a little more time in talking about Christ and Him crucified.

Conclusion:
I got a lot of jewels from this beautiful puritan work. It may have a few cons. However, the pros outweigh them. Plus, the price is great! This is a great work, for a very affordable price. I would recommend this to every Christian.

You can buy this book in several places.

I tried to find it at Monergism.com. But for some reason I can't find it on there anymore. One of the cheapest places I found to buy it was here: http://www.heritagebooks.org/bookstore/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5298

Or you can buy it separately at CBD if you wish: http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntk=keywords&Ntt=The+Christian+In+Complete+Amour&action=Search&N=0&Ne=0&event=ESRCN&nav_search=1&cms=1&Go.x=19&Go.y=8

When I do get a new microphone, or use an cell phone I plan to do a study on The Prodigal Son. Right now I'm reading John MacArthur's new book A Tale of Two Sons. So far the book is amazing! I can't wait to do an study on this parable. Please be praying about that.

This time my parents will be joining the sermons. I'm not for sure if my dad is saved or not, so please pray for his salvation. And pray for everybody there. I hope they will have an outreach time, where we can hit the streets.
