http://karenjonathan2000.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
By Jonathan D. Watson. Saturday, February 5, 2011. Great Audiobook for Free. This month at ChristianAudio.com. They are offering Russell Moore's Adopted for Life. This is a great book that tells Moore's own experience of adopting two boys from Russia. Moore sets forth a solid biblical and theological foundation for understanding adoption through the lens of the Gospel. Hope you take advantage of this opportunity. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A commentary on theology, politics, and culture. Hymn To God the Father. January 25, 2012. Before he sounds a final note of hope that Jesus will rescue him at the last day. There is a wonderful play on the word “done” in this poem, and you’ll note that it can either mean “done” or “Donne” (as in John Donne). It really is beautiful, and you can read the full text below. Hat Tip to John Piper for tweeting a link. To this poem yesterday and inspiring this post.]. Hymn to God the Father. For I have more.

By Jonathan D. Watson. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. A Mother's Day Tribute to My Mom: Janis Watson. I read the following exhortation during the corporate worship service on Mother's Day this year (2012). I truly am thankful for her loving care for me and for the many and varied ways I see that same care taking place in my own home through Karen to our girls. 8220;Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised” (Prov 31:30). Remember when God spared an older man for who...

By Jonathan D. Watson. Friday, January 11, 2013. Two Lessons from the Giglio Dis-Invitation. Recently Louie Giglio, a prominent evangelical pastor, speaker, and founder of the Passion Movement, was invited to speak at President Obama's inauguration only to be dis-invited this week. The dis-invitation followed on the heels of the discovery by a homosexual activist group that Giglio had preached a sermon nearly two decades ago in which he said homosexuality was a sin. The Giglio dis-invitation only helps b...

Elementary Thoughts: Praying with Confidence when We Are Anything but Confident
http://karenjonathan2000.blogspot.com/2015/05/praying-with-confidence-when-we-are.html
By Jonathan D. Watson. Saturday, May 9, 2015. Praying with Confidence when We Are Anything but Confident. I have been praying for wisdom lately on a number of issues. James 1:5 says,. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. What should I do? How does one pray with confidence when he or she is in the throes of the waves of doubt? J A Motyer's comments on this verse bear repeating:. The secret, I believe, is found in looking outsi...

By Jonathan D. Watson. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. I found the following quote helpful for considering the proper relationship between theology and worship:. Worship is ritualized theology; theology is reflective worship. The quality of our worship is therefore an index of the quality of our theology (and vice versa). . . . Dogmatics [the formal study of theology] both begins in and leads to doxology (Vanhoozer, Drama of Doctrine, 410). What do you think about when you worship God? View my complete profile.

Elementary Thoughts: December 2012
http://karenjonathan2000.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
By Jonathan D. Watson. Monday, December 17, 2012. It's Not Supposed to Happen Here". As believers we bear the message of the Gospel in the midst of our own frailty and the messiness of life and its resident evil. People have searching questions rooted in the soil of deep despair, sorrow, pain, and loss that evil, sin, and death produce. The situation leads the thoughtful observer to conclude: "Things are not the way that they should be! The full article is well worth your time). We must agree with the Ne...

By Jonathan D. Watson. Friday, February 28, 2014. As You Run, Walk, or Whatever You Do: Worship. If I run, it is often at night. Desiring to spend time with my family, I committed several weeks ago to run with Karen in the Choose Life 5K here in Fort Worth. The race is this Saturday, and I haven't run very much since making my "commitment." So, to remedy the problem, I went running last night around 8:30. Not to us, not to us. But to Your name be the glory! Let us begin: How should we start? All the resu...

By Jonathan D. Watson. Thursday, March 6, 2014. E-Books vs. Print Books. I haven't decided if I will switch to e-books or not.". I have heard this statement many times. At one point- I must admit- I said it. I recently I read an interesting interview with a long-time Christian publisher and editor for Crossway, Allan Fisher ( Turning a New Page: An Interview with Allan Fisher. In that post, Fisher addresses the advantages, disadvantages, and future of e-books:. For the books and genres that are a good fi...
