What Tom Nettles Taught Me – Don’t miss this one. “Tom Nettles retired last week as professor of historical theology at Southern Seminary, capping off a long and distinguished career. As I thought about his retirement, I reflected on what I’ve learned from this iconic Baptist historian, and it was hard to find a place to start.”

Six Principles for Youth Ministry – Here are six valuable principles to consider for youth ministry.

The Mansion: A Subprime Parable – I enjoyed this bit of writing from Michael Lewis.

Skipping Church – Here is a parable from Charles Spurgeon. He explains why people may be skipping church.

Empathetically Correct – This article deals with the “trigger warning” phenomenon and the move toward being empathetically correct (instead of merely politically correct).
