Evangelism: I’m proud of my sister. When she gets an idea into her head, look out! She has gotten the ladies in her neighborhood mobilized!

Humor: When the Reformed speak in tonuges. (HT: TulipGirl)

Music: Here is a song that I am quite sure will not be winning any songwriting awards. It is “Love Addict” by the band Family Force 5 (from the album Business Up Front, Party In The Back). For some reason the lyrics for this other song remind me of my family down in Atlanta.

Blogroll: Here is a blog you may wish to add to your reading list. Pulpit Live is the official blog of the Shepherd’s Fellowship.

No Cotton Candy Fairy Tale

If you’ve read or listened to the news lately, you’ve probably heard much about the persecution of Christians across the world. Dozens and hundreds and thousands suffer and sacrifice for the sake of their faith every day. But a fair number of these sufferers weren’t born into Bible-believing households and families. What are their stories?…

That’s Your Uncle Nick

We call them “grief moments” or “grief days,” and it is still surprising how quickly and unexpectedly they can come upon us. Those who have experienced a deep loss will know that, even while you do eventually get on with your life, you never get over your grief. It is ever-present in the background, usually…

Why We Can Confidently Persevere in Prayer

I remember the days when my children were younger and would ask me to give them something—then ask me again, and ask me again. At that age, they had no ability to gain or purchase these things for themselves, so they were entirely dependent upon their parents to grant their requests (which were usually for…

On Letting Your Kids Go

I won’t ever forget the day we dropped Nick at college. We had driven him down to Louisville, Kentucky where he had enrolled in pre-seminary studies at Boyce College. We had helped get his little dorm room all set up. We had dropped by the bookstore and picked up the last of his textbooks. We…
