Sometime this summer, Barry Bonds -- who plays outfield for the San Francisco Giants -- will become Major League Baseball's all-time leading home run hitter. Few will cheer, however, because Mr. Bonds's alleged steroid use and lack of interest in anything but himself have also made him one of the...

Don listens as Tim makes a point. Our friend and fellow ref21 blogger, Justin Taylor, has already drawn attention to the Gospel Coalition Conference held at Trinity in Chicago last week. Here. Here. Here.

I see that my old mucker, Dave Strain, has responded to Tony's blog on Scottish church unity -- though he seems to think it was I who really posted it. What can I say? Reports are that `the Gent' is devastated by the `disingenuous' crack, and by the `disrespect' shown to his Family by the...

I found this link on Dave Strain's website to another old pal, David `Robbo' Robertson, on YouTube. The meek shall inherit the earth; but Dundee ministers will sell their books on YouTube. Frightening enough to have Dave R's blog out there; now we have video-streaming. I need to reset the filters...

Word is coming in that CRT, who has only recently come out of hiding, having been sentenced to death by someone describing herself simply as `Mother Bear' and claiming to represent the group `Homeschool Jihad,' is now apparently on the run again, this time from irate Church of Scotland evangelicals...

There's an interesting blog on the Banner of Truth Conference to be found at http://spurgeon.wordpress.com/ I wasn't there myself, being under a life-ban for my preference of Led Zeppelin over Amy Grant. But no matter. You may want to set you web filters to `High alert' and keep children/neo-...

Last night I had a night off from duties leading worship and thus had a rare opportunity to sit in the worship service with my family. Whenever I get the chance, I try to do what my mother did for me when I was roughly age 5 to 8: draw little pictures with short captions to illustrate the sermon...
