Update: after 28 minutes, another gent has shown up. We have moved on from the depressive music.

Stellar thread on reformed worship and a brief case for including psalm singing in your services.

Always a pleasure to write for the Gospel Reformation Network (GRN)!

“The gospel does not offer relief without redemption. The gospel speaks a better word. The gospel tells the truth about our sin, however uncomfortable, and it tells of a Savior who bore our guilt and gives us His righteousness.” - Matthew Adams

O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud, and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do. For why? The Lord our God is good, his mercy is forever sure; his truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.

“For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.” (2 Cor. 2:17)

The kiddos are off to their first day of school!

Secularism taught tolerance and reason. Postmodernism, then, eradicated truth and elevated emotions/feelings. Our society has attempted to force-feed inclusion, subjectivity, and individuality. Younger generations believe it’s all gone too far.

A preaching robe would be preferred, but a suit will do.

For Christians, words are a gift from God, entrusted to us for proclaiming truth, teaching the faith, and building one another up in holiness. Yet in our present cultural moment, many words have been stripped of their biblical meaning… mdadams.substack.com/p/reclaiming-o…

Please pray for my brother, Ben Ratliff, his wife, and his daughter, Maggie.

This is a level-headed and helpful conversation about Christian Nationalism. I appreciate wise and balanced fathers of the faith, like Terry Johnson , speaking into this subject. ipcsav.org/media/kskhm8z/…

It’s exciting and an honor to be asked to be a part of this event! Register and let’s look forward together! Plus, you get to spend a few days in Colorado in October!

In the words of a wise friend, “There’s nothing more relaxing than humility.”

Let’s continue to pray for Ben Ratliff’s daughter, Maggie, who has been diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Please pray for effectiveness for her upcoming tests and effective treatment.
