A Revival of Violence
In case you needed further proof that the “revival” in Lakeland Florida bears no resemblance to true revival, take a look at this video. I’m pretty sure I don’t remember Jonathan Edwards kicking old ladies in the face under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. But I could be wrong.

    An Ideal Resource For Your Family Devotions

    There is a lot I miss from the days when our children were young. High on the list is family devotions. Nick once described our family as having a “Spartan-like commitment” to them, though I remember as much failure as success and as many misses as hits. Still, there’s no doubt that over the 26…
