Okay today is Saturday. But after the day I had yesterday, adding a photo to my blog hardly seemed a priority. This is also a photo from last year, since my Delta (which stands for Doesn’t Ever Leave The Airport) flight kept me from saying more than hi to Shane and Shane at […]
Every year, and now on this blog, I get requests for suggested reading/bibliography on a variety of subjects. I doubt whether my list would be different or more helful than others, but it perhaps will provide a starting point for others to engage in meaningful conversation on the subject at hand.

I am convinced most of our churches have created a culture that essentially kicks people out once they hit college age. Our […]
These men have been my accountability group since my PhD days. This year at the SBC we met. We marked our 20th anniversary from the time we started being serious about holding one another’s feet to the fire.
They are L to R: John Avant, now VP for evangelism at NAMB; Doug Munton, pastor of […]
