Evangelism: I’m proud of my sister. When she gets an idea into her head, look out! She has gotten the ladies in her neighborhood mobilized!

Humor: When the Reformed speak in tonuges. (HT: TulipGirl)

Music: Here is a song that I am quite sure will not be winning any songwriting awards. It is “Love Addict” by the band Family Force 5 (from the album Business Up Front, Party In The Back). For some reason the lyrics for this other song remind me of my family down in Atlanta.

The Biblical Call To Bodily Care

Christians can often have a strange relationship with the body. Certain Christian traditions have treated the body as if it is no more than a shell for the soul, a material self that is of little importance when compared to the immaterial self.

Sometimes it is a Christian spouse who watches their husband or wife reject Christ…

Over the course of our Christian lives, we hear hundreds or even thousands of sermons. Perhaps through the sheer repetition, we are prone to forget what makes preaching so special, so unique. At the heart of preaching is the wonder…
