Loved This Quote on Sex

HT: Desiring God.

"To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once. It was incommensurate with the terrible excitement of which one was talking. It showed not an exaggerated sensibility to sex but a curious insensibility to it. A man is a fool who complains that he cannot enter Eden by five gates at once. Polygamy is a lack of the realization of sex; it's like a man plucking five pears in mere absence of mind."

G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, 103.

Don't Nourish a Broken Heart

"Time spent nourishing a broken heart is time lost for eternity."

--John MacArthur, "Triumphantly Encouraged: The Privilige of Ministry, Part 1" (1997 Desiring God Pastor's Conference)

This Feels Like Shameless Self-Promotion but...


I had the privilege of sharing today on the Paul Edwards Show, a radio broadcast in the Detroit, MI area sponsored by the The Center for the Study of God and Culture. It was fun talking about the Gospel and Islam, and about the forthcoming Crossway volume, The Faithful Preaching, Recapturing the Visions of Three Pioneering African American Pastors (March 7, 2007). It was a great privilege working with Crossway on this volume and I pray that the Lord is pleased to edify His church through it.

As long as I can't escape this awkward feeling, I also want to say how very much I'm looking to the fellowship with pastors at the Desiring God 2007 pastors' conference. I'm humbled and thankful to John for the invitation to deliver the pastoral address. I am eagerly looking forward to sitting at the feet of John, R.C., and William Mackenzie. And again, I pray that the Lord's undershepherds are drawn into Him resulting in the edification of His people and the spread of His glory.
