The Battle for the Bible Continues – Jonathan Akin points to two recent examples of how the Battle for the Bible continues. You may also enjoy Denny Burk’s commentary on the article.

Christian Unity – David Murray is writing about Christian unity. There is far more to it than you may think!

Ancient Truths – I enjoyed this sweet post on motherhood.

He Will Hold Me Fast – Here’s some information about a song we’ve just begun singing at Grace Fellowship Church. It’s a good one.

Am I Called? – Dave Harvey did an interview with me for his podcast; it’s just been uploaded if you’re interested in listening in.
