My Jesus, Fair. En Español.

Two missionary friends of mine—Carol Mavar in Panama and David Bell in Spain—have been working to translate some of the ChurchWorksMedia.com hymns into Spanish. As they complete them, we’ll make them available for download on the CWM site. I realize that it would be helpful if the links, discussion, and entire interface were available in [...]

GM4W Sold Out. More Ordered. So Hurry. :)

We received 3000 copies of Gospel Meditations for Women from our printer last night at about 8:00pm. The Tyrpaks came over for pizza and box stuffing, and they stayed until 1:30am. After filling 72 orders, all 3000 copies are gone! We’re very grateful for the positive response, both from individuals and churches. Praise the Lord. [...]

New Metrical Psalm from Joe Tyrpak

Joe Tyrpak, with whom I’m privileged to serve at Tri-County Bible Church in Madison, Ohio, has completed a new metrical psalm: Why Do the Nations Rage? (Psalm 2). As usual, he unpacks the entire psalm, then concludes with its fulfillment in Christ. We introduced it on Easter Sunday, and it’s been a great blessing to [...]

Zechariah 3 and Justification

I jogged this week with two friends of mine, Matt Hoskinson and Michael Barrett. Both kept up (though Barrett was able to go a little further) and both were preaching on Zechariah 3, a favorite passage of mine that pictures justification. I’m preaching on the same passage tomorrow as part of a new series on [...]

Update on “Gospel Meditations for Women”

I’ve been encouraged by the positive response to Gospel Meditations for Women since we introduced it last Thursday. Here are a few updates, especially germane for anyone considering purchasing it as a Mother’s Day gift for their church: My friends Diane Heeney, Dave Doran and Dan Phillips have given the booklet a nod in blog [...]

New Resource: “Gospel Meditations for Women”

I’m pleased to announce a new publication for ladies from ChurchWorksMedia.com. Gospel Meditations for Women is a month-long devotional that Joe Tyrpak and I wrote for the ladies of Tri-County Bible Church and presented to them on Mother’s Day 2009. Each day’s article suggests a Scripture reading, unpacks a portion of the passage, then concludes [...]

Sound Words: Thoughtful Wonder

For several years I’ve served as the assistant editor of the Ohio Bible Fellowship’s publication, the Visitor. As of the beginning of this year, I’m no longer in the fellowship and thus will no longer be working with the publication. The article below was published in January 2010, while I was still an assistant editor. [...]

Sermon Recommendations 4/13/10

I’m back to running a bit more, which means that I’m able to listen to more sermons than I had for a time. Every so often I’ll try to post several that may be of interest to MTC readers. Dave Doran’s message “The Father’s Feast” on the lost sons of Luke 15 and the Father’s [...]

“The Father grieved, yet turned His rod on Christ”

I encourage you to think much on our Savior today. The sinless One was made sin for us. The beloved One was forsaken for us. Terrible. Wonderful. Grace!
