Mark points to an excellent sermon by Michael Youssef, pastor of Church of the Apostles in Atlanta. Youssef, for only the third time in 33 years of preaching, dedicated a sermon to a book.

Whatever You Do
Stacey writes about cooking (and, having been in their home many times, I can testify that she speaks from a position of strength here): “I thought I’d write this post to encourage anyone that is struggling in their kitchen duties, or for those who love it and want to find even greater value and opportunities in it.”

Master of Puppets
Ben writes about puppet ministries, still surprisingly popular, and asks a few questions. “Given the Bible’s relative silence on the issue of puppets, I turn this over to you: are you willing to sit under the teaching of a puppet?

May they preach to a mixed congregation, such as the residents of Sesame Street?”
