Missing the Point

We put our children back into private school this year after 1 1/2 years of
home-schooling them.  Despite our feelings of inadequacy during that time,
we must have done something right as they have all adjusted well and are
beginning to flourish.
However this was not without a traumatic first couple of weeks.  During
that time, we saw several "F’s" [...]

What We Read

We recently have had to deal with an issue about some required reading our 11 year old was tackling in school.  It spawned a alot of good conversation and thought for a number of people.  When I read this post by Bob Kauflin, I thought I’d post it here for your benefit, and for the [...]

Thabiti’s Questions

Thabiti Anyabwile over at Pure Church is asking questions about the franchising of preachers, a practice that I have been pondering as well.  It’s a practice that has been in existence for awhile, but is now becoming a "trend".  His questions are worth considering.  I’m not entirely what I believe about this yet.

Preaching To Felt Needs – Al Mohler
“ . . . preachers who believe they can move the attention of
individuals from their "felt" needs to their need for the Gospel will
find, inevitably, that the distance between the individual and the Gospel has
not been reduced by attention to lesser needs.”
Does God Want Us to Be Rich? – [...]

Lamenting the Lack of Lyrical Richness

I continue to be very dissatisfied with the musical styles and the lyrical quality of pretty much everything on Christian radio these days.  The music is all generic teen-pop and the lyrics are no better with most songs fitting the "love songs to Jesus" mold. 
From time to time, I’ll buy a CD or download [...]

On Being Presbyterian: Chapter 8

by Patrick Miller
This chapter ("Decently and in Order": Presbyterian Church Government) is pretty much a straightforward definition of
terms as it relates to Presbyterian polity. One could say this chapter was presented “decently and in order.”
This subject is a really big one for people coming out of
congregational churches to grasp and understand. However, once they do, [...]
