My Soul Finds Rest
Bob Kauflin pointed to this song by Aaron Keyes & Stuart Townend. It’s a good one!


Obama’s Abortion Extremism
The blogosphere is abuzz with this article by Robert George. “Sen. Barack Obama’s views on life issues ranging from abortion to embryonic stem cell research mark him as not merely a pro-choice politician, but rather as the most extreme pro-abortion candidate to have ever run on a major party ticket.”


Canadian Elections
Yesterday Canada elected its second consecutive Conservative government. This at a time when it appears the US is on the verge of electing what may be its most liberal government ever. Food for thought.


The Flat World Myth
This article deals with the myth that “In the days of Christopher Columbus, everyone thought the world was flat.”


The Environmental Trump Card
Alarming headlines continue to arise from environmentalists. At a recent bioethical conference one speaker said, “The more effort we put into saving individual lives, the more likely we are to doom the human race to extinction.”


Free Bilingual Pastors Conference
If you cannot attend next week’s Ligonier Ministries Pastors Conference, “you can be a part of it live via this free exclusive webcast available in both English and Spanish.”

  • Authority

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority. We know we need authority to function as families, churches, and nations, yet there is something deep within our sinful humanity that causes us to rebel against it wherever it exists. We both want it and despise it.

  • The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    There are some elements of public worship that receive a great deal of attention. These elements are taught, practiced, rehearsed, and perfected until they are as good as they can be. In most churches, this includes the music, of course, and often the preaching. Why do these receive so much attention?
