It doesn’t look like I’m going to have much time to write about our long summer drive, not to mention the fact that I’m forgetting what I was going to write about. But I haven’t forgotten how beautiful everything was. Truly, the West is beautiful. (The East cannot compare.) I think that every state was… Read More »
There may be people out there waiting for me to become a heretic. Or at least to reveal such. Here’s some ammunition. What do you think about the Apocrypha? Should it be part of the Bible? Is it God’s Word? Have you read it? I’ve spent the last week reading through it and have almost… Read More »
This guy is only 30, but he is dangerous. If any American church will have him, that is. I was turned on to it because someone said this was the best sermon ever delivered at the Southern Baptist Convention Pastors Conference. TMC needs to get him out for chapel. And stand… Read More »
Gunner is interviewing me this week on his blog. You can read the first part today.

O Jerusalem – with 22 CDs, my kids starting rebelling on this one. I didn’t make them listen to it, but put the audio only through the… Read More »
Here’s the link: http://vacations.travelzoo.com/vacations/633882 It’s so cheap that there have to be catches. Here’s what I note: Only one dinner is included. You fly out of New York, Chicago, or Miami. Dates are very limited. Airport taxes of $130 are not included. I’m sure all kinds of other tips, taxes, gratuities, fees, and deposits are… Read More »

I’m back from vacation; hopefully more on that soon. Tonight I read a booklet by Dallas Willard entitled The Transformed Heart. It was originally published as the first chapter of Renovation of the Heart. It is worth reading, and I share here one good statement and one that is not. Bad: Preparation for Jesus came… Read More »
