Friday November 4, 2005

Not Humor: Can you believe that someone has made the I Love Lucy Bible Study? “This program takes lessons learned from the classic I Love Lucy TV show and uses them as a discussion starter for small group study!”

Prayer Carnival: Doug McHone, inspired by praying publically on his blog, has announced an upcoming Prayer Carnival for bloggers (and blog readers).

Du Jour: Phil Johnson is beginning a new series of articles on the evangelical obsession with fresh revelation from God. It begins here and continues here. I’m sure this seies will be well worth reading.
