Islam: Australia’s Herald Sun brings a story about “Muslim-only washrooms at La Trobe University.”

Conference: The Shepherd’s Conference is now offering a live video stream from the conference which will be held next month. Details here.

Marriage: Justin Buzzard wonders about a Christian minister’s involvement in a non-Christian wedding.

Du Jour: The ESV blog reflects on “being Dugg” and “what happens when a Christian blog experiences a fleeting burst of popularity from non-Christian or even anti-Christian sources.” A good read!

A Pastoral Prayer

Every now and again I like to share an example of a pastoral prayer from Grace Fellowship Church. I do this because there are few examples of pastoral prayers online and I thought these may serve to inspire themes, passages, or ideas as other pastors and elders prepare to lead their churches in prayer. Please…

The Future of New Calvinism

I was intrigued by Aaron Renn’s recent article The Maturation of New Calvinism. His thesis is that “New Calvinism has shifted from an ‘All-Star team’ model designed to exert influence over the broader evangelical world to a post-superstar model that primarily serves its own community. This represents the maturity of the movement, perhaps putting it…

Understanding Trauma

I don’t remember encountering the world “trauma” very often in my younger years, yet recently I seem to hear it all the time. What was once deemed a rare experience or one rarely talked about, has become a common experience and one talked about both openly and often. Where perhaps it was once defined so…

Why Some People Aren’t Christians

I suppose I could be on dangerous ground here, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot and have been eager to “write it out,” (which is how I work through ideas in my mind). I’ve been thinking about why some people don’t become Christians. Why is it that some people aren’t saved even though…

It has been a few years since I have had a substantial number of people reach out to ask my view on a particular author. Do you know anything about him? Have you read him? Would you consider reviewing some of his books? But after this break of a few years, it has recently begun…
