Talking to Children About Race

If you’re a parent, I would strongly suggest you read this post by Thabiti Anyabwile. There is no one who writes better about race in light of the Gospel. And his suggestions in talking about ‘race’ to kids are simply a must read. Here are the headlines. I suggest you head on over to see [...]

Thoughts on Social Justice

1. I think faith in the true Gospel should lead to a concern for the poor and the lost, both here in the US but also around the world. There is so much of Scripture that points to this reality and I still think that more could be done. I also think a Gospel-centric worshiping [...]

Keeping the Lord’s Day the Lord’s Day

Here’s the message I spoke on the Lord’s Day: Introduction As we study the Ten Commandments, I’ll be reminding you continually about the first commandment which is really the foundational commandment for all the others: You shall have no other gods before me. The second commandment then can be seen in relationship to the first [...]

The Creation Museum

Whatever you think about a literal creation reading of Genesis, of worth noting is the opening of the Creation Museum. The Creation Museum is located just 7 miles west of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport and within a day’s drive of almost 2/3 of the U.S. population (within 650 miles of the museum). Here is [...]

The Gospel and Leaders

I love Dane’s report on the Gospel Coalition Conference that was held at TEDS: One thing remains to be said, amidst all the gratitude and celebration and inspiration and encouragement. In light of the strong temptations to self-promotion and forgetfulness of James 2:1-5 which I discovered in my own heart while at TEDS, and which, [...]

Bye Bye Foxnews.com

I used to read cnn.com until I got tired of its very biased political opinions. Then I switched over to Fox which I thought would at least give me some different perspectives on political opinions. But as of today, I will no longer be reading Fox any more. Why you might ask? Because every time [...]

Hate Crimes and Misdemeanors

This 16-year old girl was denied bail for handing out a “God Hates Fags” flyer at her school. And though the action really is a sad picture of a lack of the Gospel penetrating one’s theology, the punishment in this case really doesn’t fit the crime. John Bambanek makes some good points regarding her bail [...]

Why I Have Trouble Hugging

People who know me know that I am a challenged hugger. My usual explanation is that I did not grow up in a physically affectionate family. To this day, my brother, my sister, and I are challenged huggers (at least to one another). My dad and I, when we hug, there couldn’t be a more [...]

Perseverance

I thought this was a funny quote: “By perseverance, the snail reached the ark.” Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook Buzz it up share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tweet about it Subscribe to the comments on this post
