  Sometimes we pastors try to impress on our people the fact that not only is the world changing, but so too the church. There was a time in America where the church influenced the culture. Then came the modern world… Read More ›

  If you are looking to challenge your mind and heart a bit, I encourage you to pick up the book I referred to in the previous post, Suffering and the Sovereignty of God. I have been reading through Mark Talbot’s… Read More ›

• D. A. Carson on his (extra)ordinary dad

  I was preparing a message on Mark 9:1-13 this week and decided to track down the Greek term rendered “transfigured” in 9:2. The term μεταμορφόω is used only 3 other times in the NT: the parallel account in Matthew 17:2,… Read More ›
