Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand. Psalm 20.6

Resources for Shepherds
What is the “new creation” and what does this have to do with the Gospel? That’s the question Frank Thielman addresses in his excellent new book, The New Creation. Read a review here.

What is the “Church Calendar,” and what is it for? Is there any Biblical basis for a church calendar? David Sincerbox explains here.

Does art have relevance? Does preaching? Relevant to what? Or whom? Garth Greenwell considers what the meaning of art might be, and you can read a review here, and link to his Harper’s article.

Add your insights, reviews, and recommended reading to our Resources for Shepherds page.

The Personal Mission Field Workshop is a weekly offering designed to help us fulfill our calling to the Kingdom and glory of God in all the daily activities of our lives. In this week’s workshop we answer the question, “Sow What?” That is, what do we have to sow in order to reap the blessings of God’s Spirit?

Can doctrine be made interesting? Even entertaining? Well, let’s hope so. At any rate, we take a crack at it by casting the Westminster Confession of Faith into rhymed couplets, beginning with chapter 1, in the InVerse Theology Project (click here).

Check out the various columns of our regular writers, John Nunnikhoven, Mike Slay, Stan Gale, Bruce Van Patter, and Dale Tedder. There’s plenty here to enlarge your vision and help shape your walk with and work for the Lord.

Psalm of the Week
We are happy for you to use our weekly psalm for personal or corporate worship. All psalms for singing are from The Ailbe Psalter. This Psalm leads us to seek an ever-greater measure of our great salvation, and to trust in the Lord for all our needs:

Psalm 20 (St. Leonard’s: May the Mind of Christ My Savior)
Jesus, Savior, hear my pleading, set me safely, Lord, on high.
Help me by Your gracious leading and receive my cry.

May You by Your Church support me; gladly, Lord, receive my praise.
May my thanks a good report be with You all my days.

Grant my every earnest longing. Let my counsel be fulfilled.
May I joyous song be strong in, living in Your will.

In Your Name we raise our banners; Lord, fulfill our every prayer.
Saved are we in glorious manner, free from every care.

Answer from Your holy heaven, save us by Your mighty hand!
Some to earthly boasts are given; in Your grace we stand.

They have bowed and fallen, Savior, while we rise and stand upright.
Grant to us Your royal favor, hear us day and night.

From the Celtic Revival
You know, and so does God, how I have been among you since my youth in truth of faith and in sincerity of heart. I have kept, and will keep, faith even with the heathen among whom I live...lest the Name of the Lord be blasphemed through me.

  - Patrick, Confession

That Patrick: what a guy! We’re letting him tell his story in The InVerse Theology Project (click here). And you can read more snippets and meditations from the period of the Celtic Revival by subscribing to Crosfigell, our twice-week teaching letter. Here are the most recent editions for your perusal.
