Cruel Logic
Brian Godawa illustrates the importance of absolute values in an intense short film I stumbled across yesterday.


Tullian’s Smaller List of Books
In response to my post a few days ago, “A Small List of Good Books,” some have asked me to provide a smaller list of books geared more specifically toward helping a young Christian grow in their understanding and application of the Christian faith.


Piper on Pre-Order

Homeless on Tuesday
I happened upon this blog yesterday and enjoyed it a great deal. It tells the story of what’s happening at a ministry serving the poor and the homeless.


  • The Phrase that Altered My Thinking Forever
