I don’t usually reprint articles in full, but I’m not really sure how to abbreviate this one. I think it’s worthy of consideration, with the following comments: 1. This rather lengthy article is one of the major news stories of the day by Arutz-7, an important (right-wing) news organization in Israel. 2. Don’t believe everything… Read More »
Some months ago, I heard a friend speak about missions in a country with which he is very familiar. He made a statement that really startled me, and I asked him if I could quote him on it. I can, without his name, and I am going to leave out the name of the country,… Read More »
If you haven’t prayed for the believers in Gaza lately, maybe this will encourage you to. The body of a Christian official who was kidnapped over the weekend was discovered in Gaza City early Sunday, Palestinian sources said. The man was identified as Rami Ayyad, 31, director of The Teacher’s Bookshop, which is operated by… Read More »
If you haven’t heard about the Desiring God National Conference in Minneapolis this past weekend, you can get all of the audio (or video) files for free. I’ve enjoyed the two MacArthur sermons, as well as the conversation between MacArthur and Piper. It was encouraging to hear these two men praise each other’s ministries, without… Read More »
This guy is amazing. It doesn’t matter what the subject is, whenever he’s on national TV, he somehow manages to present the gospel in clear terms. And they don’t cut him off. Even if the question was about yoga!

The service was not only a mix of hymns and choruses, they alternated back and forth between them: one chorus, one hymn, one chorus,… Read More »
I spent most of the day studying for tomorrow’s class, except for when I was with repairmen at the house. One of them was fixing a broken window in my office and started asking me lots of questions about the Bible. I must not be in too isolated of an ivory tower! Here’s a great… Read More »
As I’ve mentioned before, we’re visiting churches. Finding a church home has not gone as quickly as I had originally envisioned because first we thought we were going to live in one city and thus visited churches there, and then we realized we weren’t but were staying in a house in another part of the… Read More »
Last year I noted here how impressed I was by this guy who recited Hebrews 9 and 10. He not only quoted it, but he did it in a way that inspired me to get working on a memory project I had not made much progress on. Because he motivated me, I thought that I might… Read More »
Not long ago I was talking to some friends who went to a non-accredited college, and I made a comment to the effect no one should go to a non-accredited school. A degree from such a school will not be accepted at an accredited school, so you have to “re-do” the degree in order to do… Read More »
