You have been a good and faithful servant over the long haul at @CCKPCA. May the Lord continue to build His church and make you fruitful in this new calling in the kingdom of God! We praise God for you, @fredgreco!

[Fred Greco @fredgreco]

Tomorrow morning, I will preach my final sermon as the pastor of @CCKPCA. It will be extremely bittersweet. I have preached through 42 of the 66 books of the Bible in my time here. It has been a great blessing to bring God's Word to a wonderful congregation!

@LigonDuncan @RTSNewYork @ReformTheoSem The ironic, divine repurposing of Rockefeller's money!

When Scripture speaks of "Christ bringing us to God [it] evidently implies this, that God's unsatisfied justice was once the great bar between Him and man. Man can have no access to God but by Christ: Christ, brings us to God by no other way but the way of satisfaction by his blood: 'He has suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.' Better ten thousand worlds should perish for ever, than that God should lose the honor of His justice." – John Flavel

@jeremiahhurt Doesn’t look like one of y’all cleaned up with some footwear for a wedding. 😂

I was so very thankful to have @MattSmethurst on the @GospelGramPod to talk about the role of deacons in the life of the church. There is a blessing gained, when a congregation embraces the God-ordained, biblical model of diaconal ministry.

We have had great guests on the @GospelGramPod this past year. We have many more to come, DV. https://t.co/uwn4anQ6Bv

@DrTomSchreiner Thank you, again, Tom!

[Nick Batzig @Nick_Batzig]

It was a great blessing to have @DrTomSchreiner on the @GospelGramPod to discuss his book, The Justice and Goodness of God. Tom touches upon the justice of God, the love of God, the warnings of Scripture, annihilationism, and eternal conscious punishment. https://t.co/ocXjT72Icj

"Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate. The more clearly we learn to recognize that the ground and strength and promise of all our fellowship is in Jesus Christ alone, the more serenely shall we think of our fellowship and pray and hope for it.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

[Nick Batzig @Nick_Batzig]

"The death of Christ removes all obstacles out of the way of God's mercy: such were the bars hindering our access to God as nothing but the death of Christ could remove, and thereby open a way for believers to come to God." – John Flavel

Today marks one year since my father went to be with Christ. My heart has hurt the past year in ways I’ve never experienced before. But, I hold on to the hope of being with dad for all eternity in the presence of the Lamb of God. While this video was hard to watch this morning, I am so very thankful that Nan and I could sing hymns over dad in his final days. I am eternally grateful for the father the Lord gave me.

I wrote this article several years ago. It is already somewhat dated with regard to biomedical advancements. Nevertheless, bioethics remains one of the most significant fields for theological scholarship. We need to adopt a Christian theistic approach to bioethics. https://t.co/7ZuyuMvjhL

"Discipleship occurs primarily through the ministry of the means of grace—namely, the Word, prayer, the sacraments, and discipline—in the context of the gathered worshiping assembly of God’s people." https://t.co/OMkbRikIgh @Ligonier

"Our Lord Jesus so offered Himself of His own will as a sacrifice to make reparation for all our iniquities by His obedience and He was willing to be condemned to wipe them out. That is why it is said that 'He did not answer at all' the accusations that were raised against Him. He had enough wherewith to answer, but He was silent, as is also mentioned [in Isaiah 53]. That was not only to show his patience, but in order to acquire for us liberty to be able today to glory in being righteous and innocent before God (indeed, notwithstanding that our conscience accuses us and condemns us), knowing that God has received us in mercy, and that all our faults are abolished by the perfection which was found in our Lord Jesus Christ." – John Calvin

“Let us draw near, and with the eye of faith. . .and behold the face of Him, who is fairer than the children of men, crimsoned with blood; see His sacred head bowed in agony amid the shouts of derision, and the cries of, 'Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'

Let us look steadily and earnestly on our suffering Savior, until He becomes unspeakably precious to our souls; until His love is abundantly shed abroad in our hearts; until in the blissful light of heaven we behold Him in the midst of the throne, as the Lamb that was slain, and join in the unending song of the church triumphant- a song sweeter than angels sing- 'All praise to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us!' — F.W. Krummacher
