Friday Fragments 10/3/2014

Happy Friday...hope it's a great one.
  • Prov. 24:19-20 "Fret not yourself because of evildoers, and be not envious of the wicked, for the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out." Contemplating the future fate the the wicked challenges us in 2 ways. 1. We don't need to be afraid of them; their doom is sure. 2. We would be foolish to envy someone whose future is so dismal.
  • We're studying elders and deacons in the preaching at GBC these days. Here is a nicely categorized summary of 1 Timothy 3:1-7 (qualifications of elders) from David Murray. I plan to preach on this Sunday; maybe I should borrow his outline.
  • Here's a little gem from William Hendriksen on parenting (commenting on the qualification of an overseer/elder managing his household, raising his children well.) "...that the father's firmness makes it advisable for a child to obey, that his wisdom makes it natural for a child to obey, and that his love makes it a pleasure to obey."
  • Some thoughts of mine on an adoption I recently witnessed.
  • Kindle Deals - Kevin DeYoung's helpful book on scripture, Taking God at His Word, is just $.99. Relationships: A Mess Worth Making by Tim Lane and Paul Tripp is a helpful work on, well, relationships and it's free! The Art of Neighboring is $1.99 - This is a great book on loving your neighbor, literally. The ones who live next door to you. It's worth all 199 pennies it will cost you.

We too often presuppose tomorrow's troubles and sorrows yet rarely pray for tomorrow's joys.
