In this sermon my Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones he discusses feelings, and how to deal with them biblically. He is basing the sermon off of 2 Timothy 1:6. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. You can find the sermon in…
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Let’s just get the bad out of the way first: My garden STILL has aminopyralid herbicide in the compost. ARGH! Rather than dig the poison compost out, we built up by adding lots of rotted wood, good compost, and layers of other mulch last…

I’m really trying to build a habit of doing routine things in a patient and thankful way. I’m not good at it. My usual way of doing things is ignoring something until it makes me crazy then working impatiently and furiously until it’s done. That makes everyone around me unhappy, including me. So I’m trying…
I thought I’d take some time to answer some questions I’ve gotten about the study through Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. How does the study work with the Workshop (part 1) and Part 2? The book we’re working through is Studies in the Sermon on the Mount (any version…
