Every year I put together a round-up of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals that are of interest to Christians. So be sure to check in on Friday and over the weekend—already I’m getting wind of some pretty good deals.

Pagans in the Youth Group – Help! There are pagans in my youth group!

6 Joys and Perils of Full Time Ministry – There is some good stuff in this article by Josh Moody.

The Briefing – You may benefit from listening to this morning’s episode of Al Mohler’s “The Briefing” in which he discusses yesterday’s grand jury announcement. I look to him as a trustworthy guide and interpreter.

How to Buy Groceries – If you’re the shopper in your home, you may appreciate this guide to smart shopping at the supermarket.

  • Have You Heard Of This Reformed Christian University in Canada?

    This week the blog is sponsored by Redeemer University. Choosing a university amidst the rising cost of living, rapid technological advancement, a changing job market, and a polarized, increasingly secular cultural context can be a daunting decision for Christians.

    Great Gifts but Little Faithfulness

    God does not distribute his gifts equally among all his children. Rather, to some he gives much and to others he gives little.
