Theology: Justin Taylor has compiled a list of an excellent series written by Thabiti Anyabwile (no, I don’t know how to pronounce it either and no, my spell checker doesn’t recognize it) entitled “Things I Learned While at Capitol Hill Baptist Church.”

Bible: Rick has been reading the works of F.F. Bruce and has posted a brief meditation on Paul, Apostle of Privilege. “I don’t know if a comparison to even someone like John F. Kennedy does justice to the elite status Paul was born into and spent his entire life in.”

  • Evangelize 2024: Growing a Church That Proclaims The Gospel

    This week the blog is sponsored by Matthias Media. Does your evangelistic passion match the New Testament call to proclaim Christ’s name to all people? God calls on us to partner with him in “hastening the coming of the day of God” (2 Pet 3:12) by laboring to make people ready for that day, having…
