Christian worship is marked by joyful wonder and wondrous joy, not slavish sterility. Soli Deo Gloria!

How should we regard the Ark of the Covenant? Is it some magic box (ala Indiana Jones)? In fact, it is far more profound an exhibition of God's character and purposes in covenant with His people.

I suspect that President Trump is like most Americans in his beliefs about morality, eternity, and life after death.
I am praying for him.
What does President Trump think will happen to him after he dies?
“I'm a religious person, so in theory I go to heaven…I don't want to go to hell,” he answers. cbsn.ws/4BWRfgy
I was glad to have an opportunity to present some material on theophany as one expression of divine self-disclosure today in Antioch’s adult Sunday school class.
Tune into this special lesson on "Theophany: Its Significance, Prevalence, & Culmination in Christ" from Pastor Zachary Groff. sermonaudio.com/sermons/1182…

God is present with His people!
The Ark of the Covenant pictures for us the gospel truth that God's infinite mercy for sinners is found in Christ who died to reconcile us to God. sermonaudio.com/sermons/1182…

A new episode of "Reformed by the Word: A P&R Podcast" is available from @prpbooks. Dr. Douglas Sean O'Donnell (of @crossway) and I had a wide-ranging discussion on strategies for reading Ecclesiastes, important literary and theological features, and points of application. I especially enjoyed our sidebar on the Protestant work ethic! Take a listen on @Spotify, @ApplePodcasts, @amazonmusic, or wherever you stream your podcasts. Links in thread below...
Why do we give to the ministry of the church? Because it is Christ’s ministry, and He is inherently worthy of all we can and do give.

Songs are picked out for next Lord’s Day at @antiochpca. Definitely gonna sing Psalm 146. Lord, have mercy!
A wonderfully encouraging sermon on Romans 8:34, highlighting Christ’s perinatal office and work (earthly and heavenly) as the one Mediator between God and man. I encourage you to listen to this!
We continue in our study of the book of Romans with a sermon by Dr. Joseph A. Pipa, Jr. on Romans 8:34, "The Completed Work of the Lord Christ." sermonaudio.com/sermons/1122…

Between the people’s promise to obey (chs. 19-24) and their failure to perform (chs. 32-34) is the gracious provision of plan for an arena for atonement, forgiveness, and communion with our holy, merciful God (chs. 25-31).
"What God commits Himself to, He continues in communion through Christ." - Pastor Zachary Groff on Exodus 25:1-9, "Raise a Contribution" sermonaudio.com/sermons/1112…

Mission-critical.
Faithful stewardship.
Ministry-forward.
That's what this project is to me and the other folks at Old Antioch. Simply put, we are on the verge of completely maxing out our current facility and parking area. So, we press on. Can you help?
Lord willing, we will soon be able safely to accommodate forty more vehicles at a time on our property. I also can't help but smile when I think about how Antioch's covenant children will get a blacktop to enjoy when the lot isn't full during the week. I'm still a city kid at heart.
As October nears a close, we are about 2% of the way to our funding goal of $90,000. With gratitude to God and to those who have contributed already, we put this need before you with a warm invitation to help us to cover the cost of this significant project.
Progress on our mission-critical expansion project is proceeding apace. We will soon be able safely to accommodate 40 more vehicles on our property.
As October nears a close, we are about 2% of the way to our funding goal of $90k.

From the White House on the occasion of Reformation Day:
From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness. This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale—inspired by the work of Martin Luther—advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation. The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence. The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations. As President, I will always support citizens of faith and defend their place in the public square, honoring the enduring role of our churches in strengthening families, serving communities, and preserving the core values that have anchored us across the centuries.
As Christians across our country unite in faith and fellowship this Reformation Day, I send my heartfelt prayers for a meaningful celebration and encourage each of you to draw renewed strength from God’s Word as we carry forward the blessings of faith and freedom throughout our beloved Nation.

Be on the look out for the next episode of Reformed by the Word: A P&R Podcast from @prpbooks. I had a great time interviewing Dr. Douglas Sean O'Donnell (of @crossway) about his commentary on Ecclesiastes and the companion Bible study volume published a couple of years ago. The episode should drop next week!
Thank you, @prpbooks for the review copy of @jonathanlcruse's new children's book, "The Upside-Down Inside-Out Can't-Believe-It Kingdom." The story itself presents a basic gospel presentation highlighting the heavenly wisdom of the Kingdom of God. I especially appreciated the encouragement for sin-weary readers (or hearers) to come to Christ for spiritual life.
The writing is easy to read (or for our little ones, listen to) and understand, and the artwork is excellent. The only issue I have is that we CAN—even, MUST—believe it, but only by the Spirit's power!
As a father of six (and a pastor of a church of 50% small children), I heartily recommend this book to you!
