The Grace of God, by Andy Stanley (review)

Andy Stanley has an unusual gift at making theological, biblical ideas concrete and clear and communicating in a fresh way. Compared to some of his other books, though, The Grace of God is lacking in concrete description.
The book surveys the major movements of the Bible highlighting the grace of God and showing that grace is not a concept that appears in the New Testament, but a truth that appears in the first pages of the Bible and continues throughout the Bible as a theme–the central storyline of the …

Current Thoughts

Here is what’s been happening lately around the Granville Cottage, the latest about the Pierpont family, and what’s been on my active mind of late.

Faith and Family

I have written two books filled with these family stories, but all the stories are here free for you to enjoy. I hope they inspire you to love your family while you can.

Virtues and Values

These stories are crafted to stimulate a desire for Christ-like character. They should drive you to experience salvation and on-going sanctification.

Fireside Academy

We like to learn together at home. We don’t have it all figured out, but we love being together, learning together, and worshiping God together.

Read Aloud Stories

These stories are usually fiction… just perfect for reading aloud to your children, grandchildren, or neighbor children. Hope you enjoy them.

Are You A Follower of Jesus

Classic re-post
A few years ago Heidi and Wes were baptized on the same day. It was Easter Sunday 2007.
Just before the Lord Jesus ascended he said, “Go into all the world and make disciples, BAPTIZING them….” A disciple of Jesus is a follower of Jesus. A follower of Jesus is baptized. If a person will not be baptized they should not consider themselves a follower of Jesus. That is a sobering thought. It would be like my wife telling me, “I will marry you but I won’t wear a …

Good Swearing and Bad Swearing
[10 Feb 2012 | No Comment | 118 views]

Have you ever thought that there is good swearing and there is bad swearing? Making a serious promise and talking dirty are both called swearing. Why?
Swearing is a good thing, it is serious promise-making, but when a good thing is perverted or distorted then it becomes a bad thing, and so it is with swearing. Realizing the evil roots of perverted swearing helps us understand why we use the term swearing for dirty speech.

It’s an hour long and worth your time…

Classic re-post from 2010
What memories will your children cherish when they are a long way from home one day? I like to think my children will cherish the memory of my joy in the public worship of my Savoir, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want them to remember the Lord’s Day as a special day set-apart for the honor of the Lord Jesus.
I want them to remember the Lord’s Day as a day different than any other day of the week. I want them to feel a great emptiness if …
