Has anyone solved Tim Challies' test yet? It's been driving me crazy! I know some of these but can I identify them? I've been saying, "I know that one, it's... Oh, what is it called again?" Can you do it? See, here . And, while I'm here, have you seen that Redeemer in New York is having a Wagner...

C.J. Mahaney, Jeff Purswell, and Joshua Harris discuss "The Pastor and His Soul" in their latest Leadership Interview Series : "Pastors are obviously called to care for the souls of others, but how does a pastor make sure that he is caring for his own soul? What does it look like for a man to...

To those who think that Canada is second only to Wales in being culturally challenged, here's a once in a lifetime chance to pose your questions to the greatest living Canadian, sent to me by one of Her Majesty's subjects from that august place: here. And to all the loving Welsh sons of...

Don't want to be too PCA-centric, but Sean, Rick, Phil, Derek, Jeremy and I spent some time in Dallas at the PCA General Assembly this last week (June 10-13), and the week was quite encouraging in a number of ways.

Just listened to Phil Ryken preach the evening sermon at the PCA Genernal Assembly in Dallas. His text was Acts 20:24 in which Paul tells the Ephesian elders that testifying to the gospel of the grace of God is more precious to him than life itself. The sermon was powerful, Christ-centered, gospel-...

Until a few days ago, my vocabulary didn't include the word "apotheosis." I'm afraid saying "apotheosis" where I grew up would get you beaten down for the rest of the school year. Though I can't say apotheosis, I do know a great book when I read one. For the past two years, we've been working our...

The great thing about this blog is that you get to learn new words. From dictionary.com : apotheosis means "model of excellence or perfection of a kind; one having no equal." I typically abominate learning new words, but this one seems like a worthy addition to the vocab list.

Over the past week I have had the opportunity to review advance proofs of the ESV Study Bible that is planned for publication in October of 2008. Although I have not participated in this project, I have watched it unfold with great interest and anticipation. From what I have seen so far, I believe...
