Prepared for Evangelism - Randy Alcorn excerpts one of his books to provide some wisdom on evangelism.
How Do We Define Biblical Words? - Bill Mounce looks at that question. It may well be a question you’ve never really thought about before.
John 10:16 Conference - New Yorkers may want to take a look at the John 10:16 Conference. It will feature quite an interesting cast of characters. “This year’s topic is ‘God’s Wrath or Redemption.’ In a day and age when people are unsure or unclear about God’s wrath, we desire to clarify several of the misconceptions concerning hell, God’s anger, and His coming judgment. Along with that, however, we also want to clarify some of the misconceptions about the redemption He has provided in His Son Jesus Christ.”
Brilliant and Foolish - Bob Kelleman shows that the world’s most intelligent person is also the world’s most foolish. “Many people consider Stephen Hawking, the renown physicist and best-selling author, to be the most brilliant person alive. That may be, but brilliant and wise are two very different concepts.”
Abandoned Theme Parks for Sale - I don’t know what drew me to this article on abandoned theme parks, but I quite enjoyed it.

Pictures and videos in the abandoned theme parks article remind me of the History Channel’s show about “Life After People.”
Tim,I must say A La Carte is never dull, especially when you meander into places like abandoned theme parks, taking others with you. It’s like “Being John Malkovitch” a la Tim Challies.
Great posts today, Tim. I’m not feeling brave or smart enough to wade into the Guinness debate today…but thank you for posting this insightful review and link to the book. I grew up in an evangelical home that believed in moderation…unlike the majority of our friends and all of the rest of our family.
Regarding the amusement parks…creepy. They remind me of The Road. (Oops, I just admitted to having read that book on Challies.com.)
The article on the theme parks was SO cool! urban X! I want to go explore!
For years my family spent summers at a campsite in Rouses Point, NY on Lake Champlain. One day my brother and I were exploring the woods behind the campsite and we found an abandoned pool. It was not a regular pool as it appeared to be uniformly deep. And it was in the woods. It was very strange. We came up with a bunch of fantastical theories (we were pre-teens) but it turned out that the lakeshore campsite was located over the remains of an old theme park and this was the dolphin pool or something like that. Very cool!
