The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
– Psalm 19:1
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,
in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
– Romans 1:20
A few weeks ago I mentioned a pastor’s conference I attended. The sessions are now available on audio here.
The two sessions by Jim Grier would be great for any Christian who wants to think. In the first session he gives a helpful overview of God’s presence throughout the Bible. In the second, he paints the picture of God’s presence as we gather to worship from Hebrews 12:18-29. You may never approach worship the same! Highly recommended!
And if you are a weary pastor, there are some great messages of encouragement for you by Joel Beeke from Hebrews 12:1-3 and Steven Lawson from II Corinthians 4. Beeke also shares some lessons on perseverance from the lives of John Calvin and John Bunyan.

Last week I attended a pastor’s conference entitled “Don’t Lose Heart” at West Cannon Baptist Church in Grand Rapids, MI. What an encouraging two days. One of the speakers, Joel Beeke, shared several keys to perseverance from the lives of John Calvin and John Bunyan. Here are some of the “keys” I found particularly helpful:
Love your people.
Remember that God has ways to bless us
even when the doors we would have chosen are closed.
Learn from one another.
God can use a God-fearing wife to help us persevere.
Don’t ignore the reality that we have physical limitations.
Have a pilgrim’s mindset.
Remember your hope of glory.

As a new feature on this blog, I am planning to post a picture of God’s creation that “declares the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). This one reminds me of God’s beauty and power. It is a picture of Chapel Rock at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula, MI.
