Let Me Introduce You

This week I would like to start a new feature that will appear from time to time on this site.  In it, I would like to introduce my church family to individuals within Christianity who are worth getting to know.  They may not all be identical to us in every nuance of doctrine, but they are godly individuals who have blessed me with their ministry and who are making a difference for the cause of Jesus Christ. 

I want to start with a gentleman by the name of Justin Peters.  I will allow Justin to introduce himself and tell of his background on his website justinpeters.org.  I want to tell you, instead, why this man has made such an impact upon me.  Justin has cerebral palsy.  On the scale of that malady, his level would be described as moderate.  What this means practically is that left to his own abilities, it takes him two hours to get ready in the morning.  It is a debilitating condition.  Honestly, it makes anything I endure completely insignificant by comparison.

Recently I heard Justin interviewed by Todd Friel of Wretched Radio.  In that interview, Justin was asked if there was ever a time when he went to God and said "God this just isn't fair."  Justin's response moved my soul.  If I may quote him as best I recall, he said "Any time God gives me better than hell, He gives me more than I deserve."   That statement alone makes this man worth knowing.

Why the Jewish Messiah is the Most Important Individual in History by   Eric Davis What Christmas commemorates is big for many reasons. With the incarnation comes the Savior. For those who repent, there is justification, adoption, redemption, reconciliation, regeneration, sanctification, and, one day, glorification. But if we back up a bit, with the incarnation, there is the arrival of the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. It’s difficult for a 21 st   century audience to appreciate the century-long yearning which the Hebrews had for the Messiah’s arrival. But why? What is the significance of the Jewish Messiah?

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
