Pastor Tullian
I came across Tim Kellers book ” The Reason for God, Belief in an Age of Skepticism.” I have been scanning different parts. I love the part where he talks about the resurrection of Jesus as an explosion of a new worldview. “They believed that Jesus had a transformed body that could walk through walls yet eat food. This was not simply a resuscitated body like the Jews envisioned, nor a solely spiritual existence like the Greeks imagined. Jesus’s resurrection guaranteed our resurrection and brought some of that future new life into our hearts now.” This book helps me to dispel any doubts I may have.

Pastor Tullian
We are almost on the same page. I have just read from “Mere Christianity” chapter 10 “nice people or new men.”
the chapter begins: ” He meant what he said. Those who put themselves in His hands will become perfect, as He is perfect—perfect in love, wisdom,joy,beauty, and immortality. The change will not be completed in this life, for death is an important part of the treatment. How far the change will have gone before death in any particular Christian is uncertain.”
“But there may be a period, while the wings are just beginning to grow, when it cannot do so: (fly that is)
and at that stage the lumps on the shoulders— no one could tell by looking at them that they are going to be wings—may even give it an awkward appearence.”
according to C.S. Lewis it is not mere improvement but Transformation. The Apostle Paul said in Romans
chapter 12v2 do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.NIV
God bless you Pastor and all the rest of the body of believers at CRPC, my prayers are with you that God will continue to bless and keep you all in His care.

Tullian,

Happy New Year!

I am so grateful to really know my Heavenly Father, been adopted into a new family, and been given God’s power by His Holy Spirit. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do this year through Coral Ridge!

Blessings,
Tammy

Tullian,
I love your statement, “God gives us a permanent fresh start, an everlasting new beginning, regardless of what we’ve done or who we’ve been.” How amazing to contemplate!!

How shallow is my understanding of the cross, who He is, and what He’s done!!! Cheers to a year of plumbing the depths (really scraping the surface) of God’s infinite mercy and grace.

Tullian,
I sent this to your email, but wanted to send it here so you are sure to see it. I got this from Mark Driscoll’s facebook fan page. He posted this up. You may want to check it out. Happy New Year!

“What The 86 Year Old Pastor Said”

I was recently visiting a friend who pastors another church and he introduced me to an older pastor who has encouraged him for many years. This eighty-six-year-old preacher had lots of gas still in his tank, and speculated out loud whether he thought he could take me at racquetball. He was a genuinely happy man filled with joy and still dreaming new dreams for ministry.

At one point in our brief conversation, I asked him what the “secret” was to his lifelong ministry, good health, and joy.

Of course, the old preacher rattled off three points:

“Read the Bible every day.” I asked him how many times he had read the Bible, and he said he was finishing up his 358th reading of the entire Bible!

“Mumble prayers throughout the day.” He explained that it is vital to pray in the morning to connect with God and confess sin, but that we also need to mumble prayers throughout the day, talking to God about everything.

“Refuse to have any enemies.” He said that if you choose to forgive everyone of all their sins, then no matter who or what is against you, your heart will not become hard and bitter because you treat everyone like a friend.

Which one is most convicting for you? Me? Easily number 3.

Are you doing this so I will buy your book? Just kidding. Too bad my sermon is done for this Sunday. This would make a good one however, I am “Here I Stand on Salvation” in a few months so this will definitely make its way to the file. Thanks once again for some good food for thought. Wishing you a new year filled with God’s blessings beyond your wildest dreams.
