Thoughts of a Christian Husband, Father, and Pastor
What are the most pressing issues facing the church in our current day? What theological and doctrinal problems will we see coming to the forefront in the coming decade? What are the errors that we most need to confront in our preaching and teaching ministries today? What issues do pastors in particular and Christians in general [...]
This semester I was able to take Homiletics 2 at TBS. I have much to learn and much room to grow in the realm of preaching, so I was happy to take this course. One of the great conversations we had in class this year was on the topic of the need to be preaching [...]

As the summer winds down, my wife and I have been able to work our schedules so that we get one more week away. We’ll be up at the cottage until Thursday or so. We’re looking forward to just being somewhere quiet together for a few days. On Wednesday night we’re seeing the play version [...]

His twentieth homily was full of great theological insight and practical suggestions for how to live with greater humility. One of his suggestions for how to stir up humility is simply to recall [...]
Here’s a post that a few of you may remember. I posted it a while back on my old blog. I read it today though, and thought it might be worth revisiting.
