Don’t Return To Your Vomit – It is such a vivid and disgusting metaphor, but one worth considering.

If My Mom Were Me, I Wouldn’t Exist – “My mother absolutely did not want a child yet, did not want a life-sentence of possibly having to raise a handicapped child, did not want to see her goals and dreams and career derailed…”

The Gospel for Roman Catholics – For the Church is building a good library of articles, and that includes this one.

Why Bloggers Are Calling it Quits – CT has an interesting perspective on why a lot of bloggers have called it quits.

Sports on Sundays – I appreciate what Mark Jones says about the dangers of allowing your kids to play sports on Sundays. “Giving up worship for sports is not an option for Christians.”

Other People’s Flaws – “From thinking highly of myself, it’s only a short jump to thinking and speaking lowly of others.”

You need to stop talking to yourself in categories of condemnation and begin talking to God in categories of confession.

    On the Far Side of Obedience

  • For All the Noise We Make…

    We must be as eager to hear the Scripture as to hear the sermon, and we must be as expectant that God will speak to us through the Word as through the message. Rightly do many churches preface their Bible reading with words like, “Listen as I read God’s holy Word.”
