Blogspotting Bonus: Ian, a local guy that I’ve yet to meet, writes about some of the men who have mentored him.

Review: Joe of Evangelical Outpost fame reviews The God Who Wasn’t There. Joe says, “it will likely be regarded as nothing more than an slightly amusing work of fantasy.” I’m supposed to receive a copy shortly as well. Whee!

Proud of Her on Mother’s Day

I can’t even tell you how brave she has been, how resilient, and how determined. The Lord alone knows all the ways she has had to exercise her faith and submit her will to his. But she has. She has, and it has been a blessing and an honor to behold. We come again to…

Christian, Do You Test Everything?

A little while ago, the Bank of Canada became concerned about the amount of counterfeit currency circulating within the country.

What Makes a Sermon Difficult To Listen To

I am closing in on my forty-third birthday and have been a churchgoer all my life. A bit of simple math shows that I’ve probably listened to somewhere around 4,000 sermons over the course of my life (which undoubtedly means I should have far more knowledge of the Bible than I do and should be…
