Pastor Kim's Link of the Week (3/2/10)

03/02/10

Brothers and Sisters,

Here is another week of eclectic links. They don't follow one theme but they are all meant to encourage your sanctification and love for our Lord.

The first link is a journal article dealing with the pain of infertility. Most of us know a couple struggling with infertility or are struggling through it ourselves. I think this article does an excellent job showing us the love of God and how we can be ministers of mercy to those who are suffering. The pain is very real, but so is the grace of Christ. I encourage you to read it and grow as a servant to others. Read the article here.

The next link is a 3 1/2 minute clip from Matt Chandler who will be speaking at the Together for the Gospel Conference that some of our leaders will be going to. It is a powerful illustration of the gospel and well worth watching. Watch the clip here.

Last month I mentioned a free audio book by Mark Driscoll. This month Christian Audio has a free audio Piper book for download called, "50 Reasons that Jesus Came to Die." In light of Easter coming up I thought it would be a great way to prepare your heart. Download the book here.

This link is about prayer and seemed appropriate in light of our study on prayer. Feinberg is making the argument for the necessity of the sovereignty of God if prayer is going to be effective. The majority view of libertarian freedom (which tends to undermine the sovereignty of God) is the belief that people's choices are free from the predetermination of God (or of human nature). Read the article here.

This last link is a bit self-indulgent, but I thought it was a good article on a Christian athlete. Clayton Kershaw, a Dodgers' pitcher, says this, "Baseball's just temporary," he says. "Don't get me wrong, I love baseball. I'm very thankful for the opportunity that I have. I have so much fun playing the game. But I know, at the same time, that there's a whole other eternal life for me." You can read the whole interview here.

I hope you are encouraged. I am praying for you. God Bless.

By His Grace,

pastor kim
