I was on Southern’s website recently and saw this pic from what appears to be an evangelistic house call.
I am not picking a fight over door to door. I just thought the picture was funny. Gee’z, four on one evangelism? The Mormons don’t even come that heavy. The poor guy looks like a deer [...]
I just came across a BP article on Lifeway’s new podcasting service, Christianpodder.com. This could be very cool. Free sermons/teaching in podcast form from a variety of perspectives all found in one place? I am all for this. They even have the podcasts broken down into categories. And, I am not kidding, there is a [...]
Last week I began using Last.fm to stream a variety of music to my computer for free. The quality is great, and the site tailors a playlist for the user based on the music he/she listens to. Lately I have been listening to a lot of film scores (like Harry Gregson-Williams’ stuff) and some pretty [...]
“There may be praying in the Spirit where there is not a word spoken; as Moses prayed (Ex. 14:15), and Hannah (1 Sa. 1:13). It is not the rhetoric and eloquence, but the faith and fervency, of our prayers, that the Spirit works, as an intercessor, in us.”
- Matthew Henry on Rom. 8:26
It seems that I have found my blogging groove again. Thanks for your patience during the move, the blog death/resurrection, and my recent busyness resulting in a lack of writing. As I said last week, weekends are slow on the blog, so here is “a thousand words” for the weekend.
I stopped near a local cemetary [...]
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad
Ps. 45:8
At Grace we are blessed to have some outstanding musicians. We sing a lot of hymns, some of the more solid current music being produced for worship, and a few songs our worship leader has written as well. The musical style of our worship is somewhat unique. [...]
Mark Coppenger, pastor of the Evanston Baptist Church plant in Chicago, lectured for 45 minutes at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary about the very popular Blue Like Jazz by Don Miller. Like many others I have read the book, and was interested to see what Mark would say about it; even if he is pretty [...]
After all the drama on Tom’s blog surrounding Ergun Caner’s strange assertions and attitude in the comments section, James White has offered to travel to Liberty University to debate the man on his own turf. I wish Caner would take him up on the offer. Read some of the exchange on White’s website here.
I have never been embarrassed about being a Calvinist. In fact, I used to be a pretty big jerk about it. Around 1995/6 that began to change (a future post no doubt). Though it is not the banner we raise, our church is also Reformed in theology. Over the past year a number of leaders [...]
One Sunday morning, during the first few months of our church plant’s public worship, three young adults walked in; a guy and two girls. This is usually pretty exciting. I walked over and noticed the we-mean-business expression on their faces, and a well-worn Scofield Study Bible clutched under the arm of the young man. “If [...]
