John Piper On What True Preaching Is

Excellent examination and explanation of what true preaching should be by John Piper.

John Gresham Machen

Tidbit for the day:

When Machen was asked how to say his name, he told The Literary Digest “The first syllable is pronounced like May, the name of the month. In the second syllable the ch is as in chin, with e as in pen: may’chen. In Gresham, the h is silent: gres’am.”

Atheist Penn Jillette Thanks a Christian for His Sincerity

This is atheist Penn Jillette (from the Penn and Teller show). This is the most convicted I have ever been by an atheist.

You have to watch all five minutes to get the full effect.

All I can say is, “Wow!”

Adam Clarke on Being Called into the Ministry

“Those who are really called of God to the sacred ministry are such as have been brought to a deep acquaintance with themselves, feel their own ignorance, and know their own weakness. They know also the awful responsibility that attaches to the work; and nothing but the authority of God can induce such to undertake it. They whom God never called run, because of worldly honour and emolument: the others hear the call with fear and trembling, and can go only in the strength of Jehovah.

How ready is the man to go, Whom God hath never sent! How timorous, diffident, and slow, God’s chosen instrument!”

–Adam Clarke, Commentary on Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 6
