Ask R.C. Live – Today at 4 PM EST, R.C. Sproul will be answering questions via Twitter. You can click the link to get more information.

What Are Gospel Issues? – D.A. Carson takes on a phrase we may use a little too freely: “gospel issues.”

The Funniest Joke – Here’s the funniest one-liner of the year: “I decided to sell my Hoover … well it was just collecting dust.” You can read the other finalists as well.

See The Conqueror – This is a great hymn, and I do believe we may soon be singing it at Grace Fellowship Church (sans the bridge).

    Four Years After Our Hardest Day

    Yesterday marked four years since Nick went to heaven. I find myself calling him “Nicky” more often now—a name I hadn’t used for him since he was a child. I wonder if it reflects that in some ways he is becoming dearer to my heart and younger to my mind. After all, I keep aging…
