A sad, sad story was posted today on the Christianity Today website. You can read it here. It involves a nasty lawsuit over who are the “real” Imperials. It even has a father and son at the center. Pray for The Imperials – all of them.

Fantastic Book Review
Posted in Francis Schaeffer, Os Guinness on February 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
If you’ve read, or even heard of, Frank Schaeffer’s book Crazy for God, you’re aware that the son of Francis and Edith Schaeffer’s son (Frank, that is) has written a quite unflattering portrait of his parents and their ministry. Francis and Edith are fallen human beings like the rest of us, and certainly growing up [...]
Reflections on Luke 4

My reading in Luke’s Gospel has brought me to chapter 4. Obviously I could be reading it a lot quicker, but I’m listening to a sermon series on it as a supplement, too (and I don’t necessarily want to listen to as many sermons as it takes to cover three or four chapters every day!).

The second is a post by Mark Dever on Together For the Gospel’s site called “The Bondage [...]

“How Should We Evangelize?”
In this chapter, Mark Dever examines the question of how we should proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. He says we need to have a balanced approach.

Get Some Sleep!

Over at Big Orange Truck, a plea goes out to all of us (pastors, too) to get a full night’s sleep – every night. He thinks it’ll do us a world of good physically, mentally, and spiritually. I couldn’t agree with him more. Read it here.
Reflections from Luke 3
Posted in Gospel of Luke, Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, submission on February 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Luke 3 deals primarily with the identity of Jesus Christ. He is preceded by John the Baptist (3:2-20). He was baptized and given the Father’s verbal blessing (3:21-22). His genealogy proves He is the Son of God and God the Son (3:23-38).
John said that Jesus is “the Lord” (verse 4) and the One who will [...]

Want a funny read? Who doesn’t, especially with all of the steroids, human growth hormone, school shootings, and Presidential primaries in the news? For a fun break, go to Evangelical Outpost and take a gander at Joe Carter’s post “How to Get Rid of a Stoner Son.” Hilarious!

God is the God of the second chance, right? Not so fast, according to Dan Phillips. You can read his thought-provoking article here. It’s called “The God of the Second Chance – Sometimes”.
