This is a sermon on Acts 27 that I preached on November 18, 2012. It was part of a sermon series on the book of Acts that our church, GracePointe, was going through at that time. God always keeps His promises, and works out His purposes even when we face trials and difficulty!

From the Back Cover:Hyper-spiritual approaches to finding God’s will don’t work. It’s time to try something new: Give up. Pastor and bestselling author Kevin DeYoung counsels Christians to settle down, make choices, and do the hard work of seeing those choices through. Too often, he writes, God’s people tinker around with churches, jobs, and relationships, worrying that they haven’t found God’s perfect will for their lives. Or-even worse-they do absolutely nothing, stuck in a frustrated state of paralyzed indecision, waiting…waiting…waiting for clear, direct, unmistakable direction. But God doesn’t need to tell us what to do at each fork in the road. He’s already revealed His plan for our lives: to love Him with our whole hearts, to obey His Word, and after that, to do what we like. No need for hocus-pocus. No reason to be directionally challenged. Just do something.
I’ll be posting some notes and a review of this book soon…stay tuned!
Of Some Value
My wife talked me into trying the “Insanity” workouts again…even though I half-believe that exercise is bad for us! But this article reminds me that there’s some value in it. I guess this just reinforces 1 Timothy 4:8.
Why I Write….A Quick Note on Entering the Blogosphere
Why do I write? Why did I decide to start a blog? These are questions I’ve been asking myself. Everyone seems to have a blog these days, but I’m not very trendy. I haven’t even joined any social networking sites (except for the shared facebook account that I have with my wife, on which I rarely post anything myself). I used to think that people with blogs just liked to hear their own voices. To see their words in print. That they were hoping to be published in a “real” medium at some point. That’s not really me (at least I hope!).
