The following are some places I’ve been lately. These were particularly interesting:
John Frye’s post "Jesus and the (Dis)order of Service." A re-telling of a portion of Mark. Very good.
Carson Reed’s post on thirteen suggestions for preaching from Fred Craddock.
John Willis has written regarding "Widows, Orphans, and Aliens."
The New York Times published an article regarding the Evangelicals’ fear of losing their teens.
Check out this site that focuses on issues surrounding step-families.
Christianity Today on the top 50 books that have shaped Evangelicals.
Scot McKnight wrote to a woman who was struggling with God and the Bible in part because of an abusive past. Scot McKnight’s response is well worth the read.
[…] This week I am reading more of Darryl Tippens, Pilgrim Heart. I really like this book. Tippens speaks practically to what it means to daily live in God’s presence. The book is loaded with plenty of examples and great quotes. Consider buying this one. Both daughters home this month. Now that is exciting. One is in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and the other is in Oklahoma City. It has been some time since I have seen either one of them. I am grateful. I work with wonderful people in our church office. I am also blessed to be a part of a great church family. Tonight, many in our church will gather for a meal and then Bible classes. There is not a week that goes buy when some of these people do not say something encouraging to me. North Korea continues to play with it’s nuclear weapons. Amish children are murdered in their own school. Congressman Mark Foley abruptly resigns after it is revealed that he is writing sleazy notes to young boys working as Washington pages. Yet–hardly a day goes by when Terrell Owens is not the subject of a newspaper article, a talk show topic (on the radio again today), or the subject for conversation on television. Sports Illustrated did another story on him this week. It is an interesting world. Scot McKnight did another very interesting piece on his blog today regarding a woman who wrote to him who is struggling with her relationship with God. Read the letter and his response. You might enjoy the most recent, "Places I’ve Been" which was posted yesterday. You might enjoy some of these posts. […]
