Occasional postings from a church-planting pastor whose failings pointed out his dependence of the idol of ministry success, but on whom Christ Jesus had mercy to break him, transform him and enable him to make disciples who make disciples and delight in God's glory more than anything else.

I Have a Sword Because I am in the Killing Business
Yeah, that's right. Swords are for killing. That's why I have a real battle-ready sword just like this one. And I almost always have a knife or a blade within reach as a reminder that we are in a dangerous business. Church is a life and death business. Don't be fooled.
John Piper wrote a great short article about swords and dying here. He says stuff so much better than I do.
Here's to the King who's killing my sinful desires with the Truth of His Blade!
