Worshipping :: For Your Joy
Posted on 28 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
I’ve been thinking through worship and joy a lot lately. Worship because of conversations I’ve been having with several other brothers, and joy because this week we are holding a conference at Ephesus Church entitled “Come Weary Saints: Living in the Joy of Christ.” I close the conference tonight with a message entitled “Living the [...]

Legalizing Murder :: January 22, 1973
Posted on 22 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
36 years ago, the United States Supreme Court legalized the murder of unborn children in the decision of Roe v. Wade. Estimations vary, but nearly 50 million children have been aborted in this short span of time. This is astonishing considering America’s history of providing humanitarian aide to the rest of the world, to include [...]

Small Groups :: Including Children
Posted on 19 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
We’ve begun small groups at Ephesus Church, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve always wanted to have small groups as a part of community life in the local church, and so far, all is going well. The group I am leading meets on Friday nights, 3 times each month. We enjoy a meal [...]

Telling it How it is :: Without “Telling it How it is”
Posted on 15 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
This is my weekly article (Out of the Depths) for the Ephesus Students website.
If I were to try and make a list, I couldn’t possibly recall all the conversations I’ve had with others that I wish I could take back. Unloving comments to cause a sting. Hurtful jokes to get a laugh. Biting sarcasm to [...]

John Calvin :: What it is to Know God
Posted on 13 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
I promise I won’t fill this blog with quotes from my daily readings in Institutes of the Christian Religion all year, but I simply can’t help but share this one!
We must be persuaded not only that as he once formed the world, so he sustains it by his boundless power, governs it by his wisdom, [...]

Calvin’s Barbaric World :: John Piper
Posted on 8 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
Yesterday I received in the mail a copy of John Piper’s newest book release, John Calvin and His Passion for the Majesty of God. It’s a short, wonderful read on the God-centered life and ministry of John Calvin, appropriately published in 2009 on Calvin’s 500th anniversary.
I was most intrigued by Dr. Piper’s closing comments in [...]

Quote :: Gary Witherall
Posted on 8 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
Gary Witherall, commenting on the death of his wife, Bonnie — she was martyred on November 21, 2002 in Lebanon, where she and Gary had committed themselves to a life of missionary service:
They should have killed me — Now I’ll be more aggressive than ever in proclaiming Christ.
Amazing.
Lord, give me a [...]

Magazines and Journals :: What I Read
Posted on 7 January 2009 by Nick Kennicott
Over the last year, I’ve really gotten into reading magazines and journals more frequently. I’ve even gotten several subscriptions and have been able to keep up with reading enough to feel like they’re worth the investment. Some magazines are worth every page, while most theological journals require some skimming — there are a few exceptions. [...]
