A New Look

Well I guess by now you have already realized that this site has a whole new look. Many of you were helpful in giving comments when I gave a preview of the new design. I am quite excited about this one and believe it will serve the site well. I decided to highlight recent posts and recent comments since that will help people find some of the ongoing discussions. I have also kept a large area on the main and archive pages so I can use that to highlight other things (such as the Purpose Driven Life discussion that I have highlighted at the moment).

I believe things are fairly stable right now, though I still have lots of work to do. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of spare time this morning so may not get to some of it until later today. Things I need to fix still are: misc graphic issues, a couple of dead links and the main archive page. I’m sure other little things will pop up too.

  • Praying together

    We Neglect it at Our Peril

    We know that prayer is a crucial discipline for the individual believer, but how often do we consider that it is also a crucial discipline for the assembled church? The Bible prescribes only a few elements for local church worship, but among them is prayer.
