Happy August. It’s a holiday up here in Canada, something we call the Civic holiday. It’s one of those weird holidays where most people get the day off, but some don’t. I’m not sure yet which camp I’m in. I need to add up my week and see if I can afford a day away from the office.

Listen Like a Man – The folks at Grace to You respond to some criticism of John MacArthur’s approach in his letters to the Young, Restless, Reformed.

A Trying Month – My friend Trevin Wax writes about what has been a trying month in the life of his family. Pray for this family!

    The Prosperity Gospel We Sometimes All Believe In

  • The Men Who Have Done Most for God in this World

    “The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.” This quote from E.M. Bounds would work perfectly well without the word “early.” It would then say, “The men who have done the most for God in this world have been on their knees.” Taken that way,…
