The Root of Church Defection

April 5, 2011 by Mike Leake

(This post originally appeared at my blog: Borrowed Light) …those who more boldly than others incite defection from the church, and are like standard-bearers, have for the most part no other reason than their contempt of all to show they are better than the others. (John Calvin, Institutes, 1030) Ripping on the church has become […]

Sometimes God is Deaf

March 29, 2011 by Mike Leake

(This post originally appeared at my blog Borrowed Light) A sure way to ensure not having an audience with me is to trash my wife.  If some person decides that they want to speak ill of my wife to me (and this rarely happens) they quickly realize they made a foolish mistake.  They’ll never win.  […]

I Want to Want Jesus THIS Much

March 23, 2011 by Mike Leake

35 As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 And those who […]

Review of David Platt’s “Radical Together”

March 17, 2011 by Mike Leake

David Platt’s first book Radical has already changed the lives of many people, and this change has impacted several churches.  Many churches have used Radical as small group material, and many will be observing Platt’s six hour Secret Church simulcast.  (Our local church is one of them). On April 19 Platt will release his second […]

Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth?

March 15, 2011 by Mike Leake

Why do people who pile into movie theaters on a Friday evening complain that the Bible is boring on a Sunday morning?  One reason, and I stress ONE reason, is that we have not rightly been convinced that the Bible is a compelling story. If our view of Scripture is akin to Basic Instructions Before […]

Running From Lust

March 10, 2011 by Mike Leake

(This post originally appeared on my blog at Borrowed Light) Warning! If I am wrong on what I say in this particular post the consequences could be deadly.  So, as I hope you always do, read with discernment and test everything by Scripture. “Flee sexual immorality…” 1 Corinthians 6:18 It has been said, and rightly […]

When the Strong Man Gets His Way

March 4, 2011 by Mike Leake

(This post originally appeared on my blog: Borrowed Light) Sin aims always at the utmost; every time it rises up to tempt or entice, might it have its own course, it would go out to the utmost sin in that kind. Every unclean thought or glance would be adultery if it could; every covetous desire […]

Review of Wesley Hill’s “Washed and Waiting”

March 2, 2011 by Mike Leake

Homosexuality is a hot-button issue within the church.  The issue is not one that is between the church and the world; as in the church says its wrong the world says its evil.  There are many that seemingly love Jesus that make arguments that homosexuality is an okay option for a believing Christian.  And there […]

The GCR: A Car Without Gas?

January 26, 2011 by Mike Leake

(Mike Leake blogs at “Borrowed Light”, a blog worth your perusal.  Here is his article originally published at that site.) The 2010 messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention voted on moving towards a Great Commission Resurgence.  I happily voted for the GCR because I am passionate about seeing the gospel spread to the nations.  (Although, I […]
