I started reading the bible from page one in January and I’m coming up on halfway now so I have some fresh thoughts about prophets.
Most seem hesitant to carry out what God tells them to do… probably because at various times they were sawed in half or killed some other way. Half the time they […]

Tim Challies is finally putting words down on paper. The Oakville, Ontario author is better known as a prolific and widely-read blogger and chronicler of various Christian conferences than a book author. Making a successful transition from blogger to published author is, so far, a rare occurrence but one that seems natural for […]

I have to tell you that Don comes off as a bit of a political and religious lefty, so we disagree on a few things, but that’s not what this is about. A number of times he diffused my frustration by stopping just short of rhetoric while relaying stories like the following about a […]

Tim Challies delivers this post of reflections on his readings of those who claim to know how to fix the church. “The standard book,” he says, “begins with a few chapters outlining all the ways the church has failed with the rest of the book providing the solution. If only we did this or […]

I’m really looking forward to Keller’s new book. As a speaker, Keller is a rare combination of calm, rational and very interesting. In the book The Reason for God: Belief in and Age of Skepticism he offers a response to any belief systems skeptical of Christianity.
Here is a short interview with Keller by […]

I’m not quite sure I like Steve Brown yet, but what a great voice. Here he interviews “post-evangelical” Michael Spencer (The Internet Monk). I do like Spencer. He represents my own combination of conservative theology mixed with a appreciation for Thomas Merton and both a critical and positive view of Emerging Church ideas.
Have a listen.
