Chandler on Suffering Well
Associated Press wrote an article about Matt Chandler and his battle with a brain tumor: “Chandler’s lanky 6-foot-5-inch frame rests on a table at Baylor University Medical Center. He wears the same kind of jeans he wears preaching to 6,000 people at The Village Church in suburban Flower Mound, where the 35-year-old pastor is a rising star of evangelical Christianity.”
Four Costs of Becoming a Christian
From the J.C. Ryle Quotes blog: “J.C. Ryle writes in his classic work Holiness that there are four things a person must be ready to give up if they wish to become a Christian. Beginning Monday February 1st, we will ponder Ryle’s short quotes regarding each particular cost.”
Al Mohler’s Study
Al Mohler has provided a video tour of his expansive personal library.
Keeping Faith in the White House
ABC writes about President Obama’s poor track record in going to church since becoming President. While it is easy to criticize him for that, it is interesting to read of the challenges he faces in just heading to church on a Sunday morning. “Security concerns mean costly and complicated measures to ensure the president’s safety on church outings, including screening every member of the congregation for weapons and sweeping the church building and areas around it for threats.”
Fight the Good Fight
I enjoyed this video which tells the story of Peter Kuzmic.

Obama is probably too busy commenting at Team Pyro.
A tour of another library. Someone please find a cure for this.

did anyone else notice The Complete Peanuts Collection in the Fun Room? ;-)
BTW, how long was Aileen’s lecture/warning after she saw that library video? ;-)
Wow, Mohler has more flowers in his study than your average florist!
The article on Chandler is cut in half, so the sentences don’t finish. Is there a way you can correct it? Thank you.
Chandler article at a diff location. See if this works, Michele:

Thanks, Brendt. It worked. Gulp.
I read the article on Chandler on:

This statement bothers me:
“”Knowing that if God is outside time and I am inside time, that puts some severe limitations on my ability to crack all the codes,” he says. “The more I’ve studied, the more I go, ‘Yes, God is sovereign, and he does ask us to pray … and he does change his mind.’ How all that will work is in some aspects a mystery.”
Does Chandler believe that God changes his mind? How does that not diminish God’s sovereignity by having that view?
Re: Obama and church:
How much do you figure it costs in personnel and security for Obama to attend church on a given Sunday? How much would that cost over the course of a year? It’s a price his detractors would gladly pay. Yet, in the same breath they take him to task for any recreational activity not involving church, citing its cost and invoking the specter of “government waste”.
The Obamas are skipping Church
Obama has no trouble spending trillions of dollars on hundreds even thousands of government funded programs. He has no quibble with spending hours on golf courses, going to Hawaii, traveling around the world all at tax payer cost. I think the pastor of any church would be greatly honored to have BHO show up there. Considering all this it is no excuse to skip the worship of the God who he claims to worship. “I am a Christian” he says and sometimes “I read other scriptures on my blackberry.” I wonder what those other “scriptures” are? hmmmm?
