There is a lot to love about the Bible. I could go on for hours about just how amazing, just how unique it is. The Bible offers us something so different from what we get anywhere else, something so opposed to our all-too-human expectations. When we live by the Bible, we live lives that are…
Amazon has a collection of board games on sale today (from Ravensburger and Wonder Forge) in case you’re doing some early Christmas shopping. As for Kindle deals, I found just one: The Envy of Eve by Melissa Kruger. Westminster Books has a deal on some excellent Christmas books. Yes, Christmas is coming! Where Evangelicals Go…
The disciples were afraid. Terrified, even. The wind was howling, the waves pounding. Several of them were fishermen by trade and they knew this water, they knew of colleagues who had been swept away and lost in these sudden, vicious squalls. They knew the situation was fast becoming perilous. Yet Jesus slept, resting contentedly at…
Am I supposed to say something about yesterday’s election surprise? I am far too tired to do that, having stayed up way too late watching election results for a country I don’t live in! Perhaps read WORLD’s or Christianity Today’s takes, or listen to Dr. Mohler’s The Briefing. Today’s Kindle deals include some good titles.…
I have always enjoyed the part of the worship service we call “the offering” or “the collection.” This is the time when the deacons pass the plates and each of us gives our financial gifts. It is a moment of both joy and solemnity as we express gratitude through generosity. It is an act of…

Tomorrow is sure to be quite the day. The whole world will be watching as Americans head to the polls to elect a new president, finally bringing an end to what has been one of the longest, nastiest, and most divisive election seasons ever. Whoever wins tomorrow will face an especially difficult challenge as he…
You are going to notice some pretty big changes around the site today. I moved from one software package to another and, while I was at it, updated the design. I believe things are quite stable, but don’t be surprised if you notice a few hiccups along the way. If you subscribe via email or…
We have many ways to express our love for others. We have many words and phrases to express affection for those we hold dearest. Some of them are clear and obvious: I love you. I treasure you. You complete me. But other expressions are less obvious because they are idiomatic. One of these expressions that…
Few things bring sorrow and break hearts like dealing with wayward people—people who have determined they will pursue their sin, that they will reject their roles, forsake their promises, ignore their counsellors. When dealing with such people we need to ask, what is the mindset, the worldview, the value system of a wayward man or…

Tolkien, Double Play by Ben Zobrist, The Oxford Guide to People and Places of the Bible by Bruce Metzger, and The Creation Answer Book by Hank Hanegraaf. Do You Pray Enough?

In our family devotions we have been sharpening some big beliefs, learning some big truths. We have been doing this with help from David Helm as he has led us through the Westminster Confession of Faith. This was a confession that played an important role in my younger years, but one I had neglected until…

This week’s deal from Westminster Books is Vos’ Systematic Theology. Here are 6 deals from Logos you may want to consider if you use their software.…
Children are mimics. Children are mimics because human beings learn by imitation. We learn to speak by hearing our parents speak. We learn to do dishes by watching mom and dad do dishes. We even learn to love (or not love) Jesus by seeing our parents love (or not love) Jesus. In both vice and…

My family doesn’t do sleepovers. Before our children were even old enough to ask, Aileen and I talked it through and determined that we would not allow them. We would simply take sleepovers off the table altogether. A couple of years ago I wrote about this in an article titled Why My Family Doesn’t Do…
