Advice for Youth Ministers – Dave Hinkley has some sound advice for youth ministers. “There is a lot of talk about best methods, a lot of talk about cool style, and lots more critique of those same methods and style. There is precious little about actually blowing on the embers of a young person’s faith.”

The David Barton Controversy – WORLD reports on David Barton and his book The Jefferson Lies, which has been found to be extremely inaccurate.

Quietness and Productivity – “Sometimes we forget that the most productive people in an organization aren’t the ones who make the most noise. In fact, it’s often the quiet ones who out-produce everyone else.”

Making the Most of Your Morning – David Mathis, writing for Desiring God, suggests a Christian way to make the most of your mornings.

Spurgeon Giveaway – Here’s an opportunity to win one of those amazing Charles Spurgeon manuscript pages (that I’ve been able to give away a few times in the past).

Pray Without Ceasing – At the very list, skim down and read the quote from Charles Hodge about praying without ceasing.

Speaking of Hodge, let’s give him the last word today:

This is true religion, to approve what God approves, to hate what he hates, and to delight in what delights him.

—Charles Hodge

    Neither Idle nor Idolatrous

    As a new Lord’s Day dawns, it seems fitting that we remind ourselves of the power and purpose of the precious privileges of hearing from God, speaking to God, and belonging to God.
