Today I’m just getting straight to the good stuff…

The Osteen Moment – Dr. Mohler: “Osteen’s statements, verbally cushioned in every way he could imagine, fell far short of the full wealth of biblical conviction. Nevertheless, he experienced what might be called the ‘Osteen Moment,’ when his entire ministry, in the public eye, came down to his answer to Piers Morgan’s forced question.”

Does Your Pastor Groan? – This article looks at these words from Hebrews and adds an important point of application: “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account.

The Piece of Paper that Fooled Hitler – An interesting little piece of history here.

    The Quiet Time Kickstart

    We are all people of habits. To some degree, we are always battling to establish good habits while battling to supplant bad ones.
