I Rather…

in Voddie Baucham’s book Family Driven Faith, he writes, “I’d rather eat a sandwich with my wife than make love to another woman.” And I can hardly agree more. That sentence really jumped out at me, but it is so true. When you understand just how precious covenant love is between you and your spouse, [...]

End Large Families Now!

Why? Because large families destroy the earth by removing needed resources, they are odditites, relics of the past, they are unfashionable, they are cult-like, etc…Some like author Paul Ehrlich have these thoughts: I believe it is immoral and should be illegal for people to have very large numbers of children because they are then co-opting [...]

Value 2: Prayer: Gospel-Enabled Communication as Adopted Children (Part 2)

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8:15-16 Introduction Last week, we learned that our prayers [...]

Sisters: Encourage, Do Not Force, the Gospel

I read this post by the Harris brothers regarding doing the hard things. It’s actually something they’re dad wrote regarding this topic: Parents, the first thing I want to tell you this evening is what not to do — and that is to hijack The Rebelution or the phrase Do Hard Things and use it [...]

The Dreaded Complication

Jodie Percival had the dreaded complication of having a baby actually survive an abortion attempt. Of all things to have occur in a medical procedure, this was absolutely horrible. Ms. Percival said, I couldn’t believe it…This was the baby I thought I’d terminated. At first I was angry that this was happening to us, that [...]

Not Afraid to Be Locked Up

I love this story that John Piper recounts from Charles Wesley’s journals. This was a man who certainly did not waste his life. If only more people in our day could truly grasp the realities of eternity, including me: Wesley did an amazing thing. He had spent the week witnessing to inmates at the Newgate [...]

Preaching and Prayer: Two Aspects of Church Life that do NOT Lead to Growth

At least according to Rick Warren… Roger from A-Team blog quotes Rick Warren from an interview he did in a response to the Reveal study. Here’s how Rick Warren responded: Of course I’ve read the Reveal Study. The biggest mistake that the church has made is we think sermons will produce spiritual maturity… They will [...]

Tongues, the Last Stand

The Souther Baptist International Missions Board has had a stipulation that you cannot speak in tongues privately or they would withdraw financial support. Well, it looks like this policy is being challenged. Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook Buzz it up share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tweet about it Subscribe to [...]

I’m a Fundie, You’re a Fundie

I remember when I was in seminary in the early 90s, I met a woman who was from Union Theological Seminary. When she asked me what seminary I was attending, I told her I was at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She asked almost derisively, “Isn’t that a fundamentalist school?” I retorted, “No, we’re not fundamentalist. We’re [...]
