1 min read

I am off to the Sola Scriptura conference entitled “Presenting the Truth in a Truthless Age.” The speakers are Rich Ganz, James White and Steve Beck. I am an avid reader of White’s blog and know Rich personally, so am looking forward to this one! The conference is geared towards evangelizing different groups – Muslims, Jews and Catholics as well as post moderns in general. I will be there this evening and all day tomorrow. I’ll be sure to give some impressions as soon as I’ve got the time.

Here’s hoping they got a bookstore there!

The conference, which is geared primarily towards pastors and is sponsored by Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, is composed of both General Sessions and Conference Seminars. The General Sessions “are times when we gather as one great congregation to worship…

A Conference for your Pastor

I wanted to take some space on this blog to make mention of what looks like a really interesting conference. The Expositors’ Conference (October 1-2) is hosted by Christ Fellowship Baptist Church (in Mobile, Alabama), the church pastored by Steve Lawson. The conference is targeted squarely at pastors, and especially those who value expository preaching…

Monergism Conference 2005/2006

Monergism.com is one of the most valuble resources on the Internet. John Hendryx, whom I have come to know well over the past several months, has a true servant’s heart and has created just an incredible site. It is one I turn to often when I need to do theological research or even devotional reading.…

In the Way of Temptation

We do not often speak of duty today, but Christians traditionally spoke of it often. In fact, Christians understood the means of grace as duties, responsibilities of every believer toward God. And while these duties are the means through which God provides us with his grace, they are also the means through which God guards…

Invisible Grief

There is no path through this life that does not involve at least some measure of grief. This world is so broken that at different times and in different ways, grief affects us all. Some grief flows from what we loved and lost but other grief flows from what has never been and may never…

Tiptoeing to the Edge of Cliffs

Not too long ago, there was a trend in which people would see how close they could come to being hit by a train without actually being hit by a train. That’s about as stupid a game as I can imagine. Play stupid games, win stupid games, as the kids say. But researching sin when…

Lots of Single Christians but Few Weddings

I find it one of the great mysteries of the modern church. It does not exist in every context and every congregation, but as I’ve traveled and inquired, I’ve become convinced it exists in a great many of them. Here is the mystery: A lot of churches have many single men and many single women…

Love Is the Interpreter

There have been a few bands and musicians I did not particularly care for when I first heard their music. I came across them on a cassette or CD in the old days, or on YouTube or Apple Music in more recent days, and found that their music didn’t really resonate. I set them aside…

A friend of mine recently went to be with the Lord after enduring a long battle with leukemia. In his final weeks, as his strength slowly faded away, he told his family that he wished he could write a book titled What To Do While You Wait To Die. There would be no time to…
