Not Just a Sinner – “I don’t ever want to hear you say, ‘I’m just a sinner saved by grace!’” I think there’s some wise counsel in this blog post from Trevin Wax.

Summer Reading – Al Mohler has shared his annual summer reading list. There are at least a few on there that I’m going to pick up.

How the NT Books Were Chosen – Here’s a good little refresher on how the books of the New Testament were chosen.

Misdating – I’ve seen a few articles along these lines lately. “Scientists are accused of distorting theory of human evolution by misdating bones. Briton says Spanish researchers are out by 200,000 years and have even got the wrong species.”

The Millennials – “In order to gain a better understanding of the Millenial generation, Glenn T. Stanton and Andrew Hess of Focus on the Family produced a report that ‘examines a number of important aspects of this current generation while comparing it with other recent generations of Americans.’”

Nine times out of ten, declension from God begins in the neglect of private prayer.

    I’m Finding It Harder to Change

    As 2026 began, I decided to change up my devotions. I have followed roughly the same pattern for the last 15 or 20 years and thought it would be nice to freshen things up a little bit. It went poorly.
