Buffalo Wild Wings opened this week in our area. Ever since going to seminary in KY I have been a big BW3 fan. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say there isn’t much great food in Louisville, and hardly any good take-out. But that was my perspective after living in downtown Chicago for [...]
I get requests for our Fuel magazine from friends who go to other churches. So, for those who don’t go to Grace, here’s the PDF of October’s Fuel.
Steve McCoy has continued the conversation on alcohol, the Bible and the best way to respond to a culture of abuse. Check out his post, Alcohol, Abstention and Redemption. You will find it a good compliment to my earlier post, taking the discussion further. Great stuff.
There is some controversy over Piper’s new book, God Is the Gospel: Meditations on God’s Love as the Gift of Himself. Of course it wouldn’t be a Piper book if it didn’t give people pause.

John Newton’s letters, papers and sermons have been very helpful for me over the past 10 years. For the first “Reformonday” I wanted to share his paper, The Obvious Causes, Symptoms, and Effects of a Decline in the Spiritual Life.
Maybe you feel spiritually cold at the moment, and you’ve been thinking of breaking out those [...]
I am really liking Gross’ book, The Gutter. It’s funny, challenging and hits the issue in a unique way. An issue often overlooked or ignored by churches in suburbia. Part of the problem is that we interpret “gutter” to be the inner-city, or the meth-labs in rural counties. Most probably do not think of [...]
Jeff found a “semi-Pelagian catechism,” and put it up on his blog. Funny stuff, unless you are semi-Pelagian.
We passed a resolution on teen smoking at our last Convention, and others on the education of our children, the federal judiciary and even the Disney boycott (it’s over in case anyone wasn’t paying attention). I have never written up a resolution before, but I thought I would take a stab at one that has [...]
