Earlier today I was talking with one of the guys on staff about Leading With A Limp by Dan Allender. I read it a year ago or so and it made a pretty deep impact on the way I think about leadership. Anyway, I pulled my copy off the book shelf and read a few portions this afternoon. In a chapter...

Check out this helpful post from Al Mohler on Saturday evening's civil forum at Saddleback. "With the press pushing the event as a "new face" for American evangelicals, I was not overly hopeful. Given the hype, I was positively unhopeful. But . . . the event turned to be quite worthwhile after all...

It is a book I highly recommend. During the 1930's Machen was one of the most notable New Testament scholars in...

I must confess that I watched the Saddleback forum with Senators McCain and Obama rather reluctantly. I am not a fan of most politicians and televised "debates" are usually not debates at all. But the Saddleback forum was different. Rather than having one minute to avoid answering a direct question...

Extinguishing Hell?

Check out this article by Al Mohler on the diminishing belief in hell among evangelicals. "Undoubtedly, much of this can be traced to currents in the larger culture, where non-judgmentalism, a therapeutic view of life, and a thoroughly modern view of fairness lead many to reject hell as a place of...

Saddleback Forum

I just watched the forum at Saddleback with John McCain and Barrack Obama. In my mind there is absolutely no comparison between the two candidate's performance this evening. I will let you imagine who I believe won the day. One of the men displayed a great deal of moral clarity and leadership while...
