Posted on September 27, 2014 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.I have been tremendously encouraged by the reviews of my new book, A Vine-Ripened Life: Spiritual Fruitfulness through Abiding in Christ.

A Vine-Ripened Life
Posted on September 8, 2014 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.My new book, A Vine-Ripened Life: Spiritual Fruitfulness through Abiding in Christ (Reformation Heritage Books, 170 pages), is now available. It is a study of the fruit of the Spirit, distinguishing the biblical fruit from the world’s versions. The wrinkle is that it approaches cultivation of the fruit from the ground of abiding in Christ.

Marks of the True Christian
Posted on October 28, 2013 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.Note: The Reformation of the sixteenth century dealt with reforming what had been deformed by the church of the day, bringing it into conformity with the revealed Word of God. That reforming recaptured the essence of the gospel taught in holy Scripture. Today, the integrity of the gospel is threatened by the forces of legalism […]

Satan Sightings
Posted on October 21, 2013 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.You can’t read Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians without detecting a bit of an edge. Understandably so. His opponents back in Thessalonica were questioning his character, his motives, and his conduct. They were trying to turn the hearts of the new believers in the church he planted there against him. It is true […]

Getting the Lead out of Leading
Posted on August 26, 2013 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.Leading is not an easy task. One, leaders need to know where they are going. The GPS has to be set with at least a general destination. Two, leaders need to understand the fine art of leading versus pushing. By definition, leaders have followers. As to whether followers will follow, refer back to number […]

A House of Prayer is Built with Living Stones
Posted on August 19, 2013 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.In the Old Testament book of Isaiah, God said that His house would be a house of prayer for the nations (Is. 56:7-8). Jesus reaffirms this purpose of God for the temple by quoting Isaiah in each of the Synoptic Gospels. The New Testament Scriptures make clear that the ultimate and actual temple is […]

The Sisyphus Psalm
Posted on August 5, 2013 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.We might call Psalm 126 “The Sisyphus Psalm.” Sisyphus was a figure in Greek mythology who was eternally destined to push a heavy rock up a hill, only to have it roll back down before he could get it over the crest. He’d have to start all over—for eternity. Life can seem like that, […]
