Meet the Ministries: Desiring God (10/07/09 - 9 Comments)
Last week I began an interview series I am calling "Meet the Ministries." This is an opportunity for us to meet some of the Christian ministries available to serve us. The first interview featured Grace to You. This week I'm glad to share an interview with Matt Perman, Director of Strategy for Desiring God. How and when did Desiring God begin? Desiring God as an organization began in 1994. An elderly couple had been in...
A Ministry of Unity (07/30/09 - 11 Comments)
My morning reading today took me to the fourth chapter of Ephesians. This is a chapter that deals primarily with the topic of unity within the body of Christ. Through the first three chapters of the book Paul has been laying the theological framework for the life of good works he describes in the final three chapters. The first topic he discusses in this regard is unity. He encourages believers to live together in humility...
Interview - Justin Reimer (04/27/08 - 2 Comments)
In the past months you may well have heard me mention The Elisha Foundation. This is a foundation I first discovered through my pastor (who is a regular speaker at the Foundation’s annual retreats) and subsequently learned about more when I designed a new website for it. I quickly came to respect what they do and wanted to share with you an interview I conducted with Justin Reimer who founded and still heads up the...

Here is an excerpt from a Together for the Gospel panel discussion with R.C. Sproul. He and the other men discuss the reality that preachers are often dissatisfied with their sermons. It is an illuminating discussion mixed with hilarious quips....
T4G - John Piper (04/17/08 - 4 Comments)
This morning we received the last of the free books. On our seats were copies of Christ & Culture Revisited by D.A. Carson (just printed!), Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin, The Future of Justification by John Piper and one of the smaller editions of the ESV. The first session of the morning featured John Piper who really needs no introduction. He sought to answer this question: How does the supremacy of Christ create radical Christian...
"The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment" Blog Tour (Day 10) (01/18/08 - 4 Comments)
Today is the second to last day of the blog tour for my new book The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment. For the past two weeks I’ve been answering questions that have been asked by a variety of bloggers. Though something neither I nor Crossway had tried before, this blog tour has been fun, I think, and I’ve been pleased to receive quite a lot of positive feedback. Today the tour moves to Church Matters, the...
KfaW - Pulpit Magazine (10/06/07 - 1 Comments)
King for a Week is an honor I bestow on blogs that I feel are making a valuable contribution to my faith and the faith of other believers…or sometimes just because I really like them. It is a way of introducing my readers to blogs that they may also find interesting and edifying. Every two weeks (or so. That is theoretical. Practically, I don’t get around to updating as often as I should and we've...
