It is worth doing badly

Posted on June 14, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 11 Comments

Young Golfer

The fact that I sometimes do the Christian life badly does not diminish the truth of who Jesus is and what he came to accomplish. The Christian life is worth living, even if I fall short of where I think I ought to be in my level of spiritual maturity.

Black and White

Black, White, and Grey

Did God really say that when a vow is taken, it must be fulfilled to the fullest extent of our ability?

Eloquence

On eloquence (or lack thereof) in prayer

I must confess that I am sometimes intimidated about praying in a church gathering such as a prayer meeting or small group. My brain is not wired to call up Old Testament images about restoring what the locusts have eaten or calling down mighty angels. These references make those adept at praying sound so . . . so . . . spiritual and powerful.

God's sovereignty over the world

Grace and sovereignty

To avoid stress and burnout in pursuit of our calling, we must rely on the sovereignty of God. We cannot do it all, but we must do what God calls us to do.

Joy

Is it still Joy to the World?

Perhaps it is so in every time, but it is certainly true in this time that we are in desperate need of a reason for joy.

Golden Calf Idol

Confessions of a man-pleaser (idol worhipper)

I could blame it on the church of my youth . . . or, I could just face the fact that I am an idolater at heart and have made an idol out of the approval of others.
