Show Notes:

 

Terrorism:

• What does it mean to identify someone as a terrorist?
• Terrorist has come to mean a bad guy, which is completely inaccurate
• Terrorism is a particular tactic
• Terrorism is to directly target innocent civilians in order to spread dismay, consternation and terror in the general populace
• Half of terrorism is claiming that you committed the bombing

 

Expository Exultation:

• Written by John Piper
• Not fully done with the book, but it is amazing
• Great read for pastors
• Piper shows how the preaching of the word in a way that exults in the Gospel that is being proclaimed is a central part of corporate worship
• Worship is a corporate act
• The word and the sacrament go together like cooking and eating go together

 

Hamartano:

• Looking at this word in Titus
• Only used once: Titus 3:10-11
• He is talking about a heretic who won't listen and is stubborn
• Heresy is a kind of sinning
