This week I read a very insightful article by Tim Challies/Scott Lamb regarding the resurgence in Reformed Theology over the last few years. If you hold to Reformed Theology and are excited at what seems to be a great revival of God’s people back to the ‘Old Paths’ of biblical Christianity, I’d encourage you to […]

Matthew 5:42: “Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.”
Recently, I had a rather interesting confrontation with a man who was begging money. Thinking about the confrontation, and how things went sour, I am saddened that I cannot go back and do things over […]

I made it back from L.A. and the Shepherds’ Conference. I had such a great time. Once again, the conference exceeded my expectations, and I left there greatly encouraged.
A couple of quick notes about the conference before I dive into regularly-scheduled-blogging this week:
-I cannot even begin to express the gratitude I have for my friend […]

Are you familiar with the Seattle pastor, Mark Driscoll? If you are not, chances are you soon will be.
I was browsing iTunes the other day, looking at the nations most popular podcasts, and among the likes of ABC news, ESPN, and ‘Christian’ heavyweights Joel Osteen and TD Jakes, I noticed that Driscoll’s podcast was right […]

This March I will be heading to sunny Los Angeles, California for the 2008 Shepherds’ Conference. This will be my third trip to the conference, having also attended in 2004 and 2006.
I must thank the Lord for providing a way –completely out of the blue– to attend this year: an old friend called me up […]

Another year has come and gone. Time sure seems to fly by once marriage and children set in. As I reflect on this year, 2007, I must say that it has been one of, if not *the* toughest year of my life. Congruent with that, of course, is that I (and my family) have […]

“How many observe Christ’s birth-day! How few, his precepts! O! ’tis easier to keep Holidays than Commandments.” –Benjamin Franklin

While I’ve got a few posts currently in the works, the craziness of the holiday season has kept me from putting on the final touches. In the meantime, here are a few thoughts about what’s going on:
After a long (but fairly easy) search, we have joined Berean Baptist Church in Powder Springs, GA. My […]

This Christmas season I have been bothered by how many catalogs/advertisements that we’ve received in the mail, specifically from Christian organizations trying to sell me something. I certainly enjoy browsing through a book catalog every now and then, but this year it has gotten way out of hand.
Today I received a LifeWay advertisement; LifeWay is […]
