A More Boring Writer – Matthew Lee Anderson offers nine tips on how to become a more boring writer.
Strange Fire – New Testament scholar Tom Schreiner reviews MacArthur’s Strange Fire (book). “I have traveled a road in which I was a cessationist in my early years as believer. I then became a non-cessationist and taught accordingly for a number of years. Finally, in the mid 1990s I slowly returned to a cessationist position. I am sympathetic, then, to the case MacArthur makes for cessationism.” He offers both commendations and critique.
Perils Facing the Evangelical Church – R.C. Sproul offers his take on the three most critical perils the church faces today.
Family: The Original Small Group – Timothy Paul Jones: “In my research for the book Family Ministry Field Guide, I found that only one-third of churched parents read or discussed Scripture with their children at least once a week.

A Plea to Pastors and Elders – Aimee Byrd: “Pastors, elders, is there something more we could be doing in the church to equip the congregation with discerning reading skills?

The so-called Christian author can actually be a potential predator of orthodoxy in the church.”
