An odd combination of Reformed theology posts, Bob Dylan out takes, gluten-free recipes, thoughts of mine, and anything else I find interesting on the interwebs. I hope you enjoy.

John MacArthur on Worship

"Let me explain worship in a simple way. The deeper your understanding of the truth of God, the deeper your understanding of God Himself, the higher your worship goes. Worship is directly correlated to understanding. The richer your theology, the more full your grasp of biblical truth, the more elevated your worship becomes. You don't have to turn the music on for me to worship. Low understanding of God—superficial, shallow, understanding of God—leads to shallow, superficial, content-less hysteria. You can whip that up, you can create that kind of frenzy. It has nothing to do with worship; it isn't worship; it's not connected to worship; it is sheer hysteria in a mindless expression. You've been singing hymns this week. Why? Because there's rich theology in hymns. We don't have to go hysterical; we want your mind fully engaged. . . . I don't need 7-11 choruses, seven words eleven times over. I need to advance the doctrine. I need to advance the richness. I need to deepen the truth and broaden the truth. And hymns have verses, not just five words repeated and repeated and repeated and repeated and repeated but never really with the nuances of theology. So, yeah . . . that's not worship, that's not even Christian. That's no different than a rock concert. There's a lot of ways to manipulate people's minds, and they have figured out how do that."

Quote from Tim Challies

Ambition is good, but it needs to be strengthened by at least two other crucial traits: character and self-discipline.

Interesting quote from "Spurgeon Gems"

Hi – I'm reading "Spurgeon Gems" by Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) and wanted to share this quote with you.

""The great destroyer of man is the will of man. I do not believe that man's free will has ever saved a soul, but man's free will has been the ruin of multitudes. 'Ye would not' is still the solemn accusation of Christ against guilty men (Mat 23:37; Luk 13:34). Did He not say at another time, 'And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life' (Joh 5:24)? The human will is desperately set against God and is the great devourer and destroyer of thousands of good intentions and emotions which never come to anything permanent because the will is acting in opposition to that which is right and true."–1894, Sermon 2381"
