…laboring for the gospel as it transforms me, my city, and my world for all of eternity…
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who [...]
I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever have two posts that had anything to do with the Kansas City Royals, but after yesterday’s post, I had to follow up with a quote that was in the same ESPN article about their manager Trey Hillman. His quote:
“I was never part of the [...]
I am a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan and still have nightmares about Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. That lone, seriously unfair, some would say demonic, call by Don Denkinger robbed me of a joyful childhood memory and has left me scarred for life. In short, I hate the Kansas City [...]
Since I’m out of pocket today and don’t have a whole lot of time to write something, you may want to read this article by Ed Stetzer that really dovetails with yesterday’s post. Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
So I’m reading my blog feeds today and came across Ed Stetzer’s latest post announcing the latest research that Lifeway has done on evangelism. It really is a fascinating piece that I think I will print and frame as to the reason why church planting is so vital to the advancement of God’s kingdom. [...]
My musical tastes aren’t very broad. I know folks who have thousands and thousands of songs on the IPOD and they can name me bands that I’ve never heard of. This was on display last week as two guys went back and forth talking about music I never knew existed and they acted [...]
Last night, I was listening to a message by Tim Keller called “The Prodigal Sons” which I put up on the nomad page over at Eternity because I think it is absolutely spot on.
Here’s the problem: I fit both descriptions of both sons that were lost. I am the guy who can very easily [...]
It’s hard to put into words the impact that I believe yesterday at T4G will have on me personally, Eternity, and Christendom at large. Piper’s message entitled “How The Supremacy Of Christ Creates Radical Christian Sacrifice” really should have just been titled “Let us go to Him outside the camp” in reference to Hebrews [...]
It’s late Wednesday night - actually early Thursday morning and I just can’t put into words what RC Sproul’s message was like today. You can read about it from Challies here. But I want to try and summarize what it meant for me as a church planter.
I have shared the story recently with [...]
I’m sure Challies has better updates, but here’s my impression so far of the conference. And I don’t have much time as I’m headed back to the sessions but here goes:
Ligon Duncan: Very good message. Theology Matters! If your church isn’t teaching theology, you’re headed for a world of hurt.
Thabiti: This will be a landmark [...]
