Justin Taylor’s blog is becoming a daily read for me. To say that his blog is a great source of encouragement would be an understatement. Hopefully, my family and I will soon be transitioning into a Senior Pastor position. With that transition quickly approaching, I’m trying to read anything and listen to anyone who might offer…
Mike Calhoun, who works for Word of Life Ministries, gives some practical and very helpful advice on spiritually leading your family. As a father who deeply desires to put into practice my Christian faith first and foremost in the home, I’m always willing and ready to listen to anyone who has any insight on how to…
This is a short, but great little post by Justin Taylor where he cites three prominent Christians and why they make a habit or writing out their thoughts. In my “about me” section I make a similar case as to why I write – but in a much less articulate and eloquent manner!
In reviewing Justin Taylor’s blog tonight I came across an intriguing link to a video that is perplexing and humorous, but ultimately very eye-opening to the calling that pastors have – and that calling is not to make individuals in the pew laugh, but to steadfastly and honestly preach the word of God, which is…
Dr. Russell Moore, Dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY and author of “Moore to the Point,” writes a great article concerning David Letterman and his recent “confession” on his show the other night.

As an individual who became a parent through the wonderful process of adoption I’m extremely thankful for the Christian Alliance for Orphans and their work in exposing people to the mandate to…
For me the issue of alcohol is not a very complex issue and it has been a airly easy decision to abstain from alcohol. And by the grace of God, alcohol has not been a vice in my life whatsoever, but I know a lot of people where this is not the case. In fact, I have…
A good word from Ray Ortlund on an individual’s committment to the church – read, reflect and enjoy.
From D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Preaching & Preachers, pp. 85-86: “The preacher must be a serious man; he must never give the impression that preaching is something light or superficial or trivial….What is happening [in the act of preaching] is that he is speaking to them from God, he is speaking to them about God, he is speaking…
I was perusing Justin Taylor’s blog and came across a post he recirculated authored by Ray Ortlund in which Mr Ortlund (a pastor in Nashville, TN) outlines in bullet form a biblical evaluation of gossip and the evilness of this “acceptable” sin.
