A La Carte (September 26)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Together Again – Here’s a great video from Igniter Media.

History Helps Put Things in Perspective – I quite agree with Kevin DeYoung here: “I’m a proponent of families worshiping together. I’m not a proponent, however, of taking a good principle and making it an absolute rule. Moreover, I’m not in favor of making other Christians feel like the truly biblical (or Truly Reformed) position is to have your kids of all ages with you in church at all times.”

On Piles of Sand and Eating Babies – Read this one and allow yourself to be convicted.

Psalm 139 Project – I love the idea behind the Psalm 139 Project.

Under the Book – Paul tells of a recent interview we did in our church and what we learned from one of our church members.

Why We Keep Playing the Lottery – Here’s an interesting look at why people play the lottery, despite the ridiculous odds. Just ignore the evolutionary silliness.

Beautiful Scotland – This video may make you want to visit Scotland.

Chesterton

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.

—G.K. Chesterton

  • Authority

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority. We know we need authority to function as families, churches, and nations, yet there is something deep within our sinful humanity that causes us to rebel against it wherever it exists. We both want it and despise it.

  • The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    There are some elements of public worship that receive a great deal of attention. These elements are taught, practiced, rehearsed, and perfected until they are as good as they can be. In most churches, this includes the music, of course, and often the preaching. Why do these receive so much attention?
