A La Carte (May 12)

A Sharp Turn to the Right – Here’s a fascinating update from a blog I follow: “I am writing this on a high speed train from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to the island’s capital, Taipei. Why am I here and not in mainland China? In short, because I have been deported from China. To tell the long story, I have to go back to Easter Sunday two weeks ago.”

Integrate Theology Into Ministry – Here, from Hershael York, are five ways to integrate theology into your ministry.

She Got Up Anyway – I enjoy Mother’s Day reflections like this one.

Blessed – Isn’t it interesting that many people are now used “blessed” in place of “lucky?” That seems significant.

Be More Specific – This is good advice: Be more specific in your sermon than listing points or things. Andy Naselli has a good list of alternatives.

Perfect Parents – According to Joel Beeke, children are not looking for perfect parents. And it’s a good thing, too.

Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell, I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.
