The Elisha Foundation – The Elisha Foundation is a great ministry that works with the families of disabled children (mental or physical disabilities). Their annual retreat is coming up and is a time when parents are given a brief respite from the work of caring for their children. Check out the web site for details.

Three Great Reads for Good Friday – Here are three good books you may want to read before Good Friday: one, two and for advanced studies, three.

The End of Publishing – This is an interesting little video that makes some good points and some not-so-good. An explanation of both would take longer than I’d want to give it in A La Carte.

Where Did John 5:4 Go? – Mounce looks at what happened to John 5:4. “This is a pretty big issue, and a simple blog can’t do it justice.

    Are You Known for Love?

    We live at an interesting time, a time in which so much is changing. Norms that have existed and been accepted for decades or even centuries are quickly fading and being supplanted by what is new and novel. This is especially true of those norms that were based on Scripture and its instruction on what…
