So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I have not been posting in a while. I am currently waiting on the Lord a bit and trying not to force myself to maintain something that may not be His will for me to maintain. I will begin posting again in one way or another when He gives me indication that this is where He wants some of my attention.
I encourage you, none the less, to seek the Lord hotly each morning with me and to ask, seek, knock.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Happy Reformation Day!
Please enjoy this partial post from the Desiring God blog...the whole thing can be linked from HERE.
Soli Deo Gloria!
From John Piper-
Dear Friends,
Today is Reformation Day. Martin Luther posted his explosive 95 theses October 31, 1517. In the wake of Luther’s life, an army of Reformers soon emerged. Foremost among them was John Calvin. Together they recovered for the church the supreme authority and clarity of the Scriptures. Grace-erasing tradition had buried the glory of the gospel. But now light was breaking out. So the Reformers took up a Latin phrase to describe the wonder: “Post Tenebras Lux”—“After Darkness... Light.”

In honor of Calvin’s ministry and, even more, in celebration of the God who restored the gospel to his church, we are making this video available today. My prayer is that it would stir in your heart a fresh passion for the majesty of the word of God.

Something Dies
“13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” (Romans 8:13, ESV)
John Owen wrote a classic book in the 17th Century titled On The Mortification of Sin and he describes how we will either be actively killing sin in our life or sin will be killing us. The apostle Paul made this clear in Romans 8 as cited above.
I have been enjoying a read of the following book that is easier to read and adapts John Owen's teaching into a shorter book...

Another good option is this pdf that summarizes John Owens book and it contains a link to an even more detailed outline that is also very good if you want to get deeper into the topic...
Or go to the original...
