I am very grateful to Justin Tayor for pointing to these videos from Josh McPherson, Pastor of Grace Covenant Church, who just welcomed his fourth child and second with disabilities into the world.

What does ‘all things new’ actually mean?
Posted in Scripture, Sermons on March 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:5 ESV) There is an unfortunate stream of thinking amongst some that this is related exclusively to a change in our physical existence.

I’m going to blatantly steal from Pastor John the next couple of days, from his sermon The Word of God Is At Work In You. His closing remarks were very practically and particularly helpful: It helps me to have an acronym called APTAT. A — I admit I can’t in myself do what needs to [...]
