Dr. Mohler Reviews My Book
Dr. Mohler has posted a quick review of my book.

Church Discipline
The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article critical of the practice of church discipline.

The Happiest Year You Will Ever Know

There are some hymns that disappear because they are simply not very good. There are some hymns that disappear because they are too tied to a particular niche. And there are some hymns that disappear because their language becomes antiquated. I think this hymn/poem by John Newton spans the latter two categories. It is closely…
