29 Oct by
UPDATE: Josh S has a good post on different views of Reformation history. UPDATE: Someone please turn down that “whining” sound. Is it me? Or the guy fisking me? I’m really on your side, O panic stricken fans of the Reformation. UPDATE: ***sigh*** Pastor Gary reviews the post. So….is any sincerely motivated division of Christianity [...]
iMonk 101: A prayer for Alex- What to do when your child says he doesn’t believe any more.
28 Oct by
This is an essay from 2005 that I believe has been helpful to a few parents. It was printed in Modern Reformation. Christian parents are always on my mind and heart.

25 Oct by
UPDATE II: David Head at Ponder Anew has an excellent post on this development. UPDATE: The classy Amy Welborn gives a Catholic perspective.

UPDATE:: John H at Confessing Evangelical is the first one in the pool. Jeremy Bouma at Novus Lumen joins in as well. Alan Creech comes through with a Catholic Bible. UPDATE II: Here is the exact Bible I used. (Pictures at the bottom.) I wonder if any bloggers out there would like to devote a [...]
Evangelical Worship Comes Full Circle (Irony Alert!)
19 Oct by
UPDATE II: Some of you probably haven’t read some of my older essays on worship, found in the “Worship” section on the older essays page.
