The Bible App Deep Dive
I enjoyed this extensive review and comparison of various Bible apps. It’s fun to see how far apps have come over the past few years.
Holiday at the Dictator’s Guesthouse
If you’re in the mood for a long read, you’ll enjoy reading about one eccentric who decided to travel to North Korea in order to leave a Bible behind. It didn’t go very well.
Don’t Forget These Heroes of Paris
The terrible events in Paris did not unfold without some heroics. “At center stage in this show of courage and compassion were men and women who risked their lives to save others.”

Syria’s Lost Children
Even while people consider how to help Syrian refugees, it is important that we do not lose sight of who many of them actually are. “Photojournalist Magnus Wennman traveled around Europe and the Middle East, capturing these children of war as they tried to find some rest in a frightening, uncertain world.”
Forgetting to Preach the Gospel

In this blog we will look at three common ways that those committed to gospel-centered preaching unintentionally forget to preach the gospel.”
Why Fractals Are So Beautiful
“You don’t have to look hard to notice aspects of nature that clearly don’t fit the Euclidean framework. Rivers, mountains, coastlines, lightning, our circulatory system : Where’s the symmetry and structure? Where’s the order? The answer, as mathematicians are discovering more and more often, involves fractals: geometric figures that occur in nature, even in seemingly chaotic systems.”
When you realize that the antidote to being bad is not just being good, you are on the brink of understanding the Gospel.
—Tim Keller
