Tomorrow, many in SC will gather for a discussion on the GCR in our state. I’ve compiled a short list of links and documents that may be beneficial for tomorrow’s discussion. Some of these weren’t really easy to find, but I had some really good help. I’m sure there is more than I have posted, …
Yesterday, I posted this article on the use of time by men in America. What a sad state of affairs to know that dad’s are shirking the privilege and responsibility of fatherhood in such a devastating way. Children need their fathers and it is the responsibility of Christian fathers to pass on the faith once …
I recently was directed to an article about lawn care that suggested we could serve the environment best by allowing our lawns to die. I immediately shrieked in astonishment, I am convinced that the environment in my neighborhood is enhanced by my green grass. Never-the-less, it was not the environment aspects of the article that …
In the final analysis, the ultimate authority for preaching is the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. Without this authority, the preacher stands naked and silent before the congregation and the watching world.

Kevin DeYoung warns us about over-hyped church statistics. It seems that Christians are, of all people, most eager to believe the worst about themselves. But don’t believe everything you read. There are lies. There are damned lies. And then there are statistics. The Gospel Coalition asks some evangelical leaders (Mohler, Carson, etc…) “What one thing …

I would say that a ‘dull preacher’ is a contradiction in terms; if he is dull he is not a preacher. He may stand in a pulpit and talk, but he is certainly not a preacher. The man who is called by God is a man who realizes what he is called to do, and …
I am preaching through the book of Daniel right now and have collected several commentaries and resources that I have found useful through this process. The list below can serve as a resource for any of you looking to study this book of OT prophecy. Some of you may also have some other resources you …
Trevin Wax has a great interview up with Aaron Coe from SendNYC. It’s no surprise that we are living in the midst of a global population shift. Unfortunately, as many have relocated to the cities to follow the dream, the church has retreated.Cities are the mouthpiece of any nation and the place where culture is …
Our Justification is accomplished by a profession of faith. The evangelical world has never fully grasped that nobody is justified by a simple profession of faith. Professions of faith are good things, and those who believe are supposed to profess what they believe, but it’s the “possession” of faith–not its “profession”–that translates a person from …
