There are two new songs available at ChurchWorksMedia.com—a new hymn by me and Greg Habegger and a new metrical psalm by Joe Tyrpak. Both will be a blessing to you, I believe. Here are the links:

I’m not typically nervous or squeamish, but just watching this video made my teeth sweat. Crazy.

In preparing for my Sunday morning message this week, I was helped by John A. Younts little book Everyday Talk. Younts encourages parents to speak intentionally to their children, depositing in them spiritual truths in the milieu of real life. One of the passages with which he encourages parental communication is Proverbs 16:20-24:
Whoever gives thought [...]

Some quick and mostly useless thoughts on our recent trip which I didn’t have time to post earlier…
1. We had a blast in Orlando during our vacation. I’ll not forget my 5-year-old’s prancing/skipping/hopping/floating off of “It’s a Small World” after our 4th ride, or her giggling out loud during the fireworks. Disney with 4 daughters [...]

We had a great time in Greenville this week. By God’s grace, it seemed like the chapel messages at BJU went well. Thank you to those who prayed to that end. It’s hard to get a lot of feedback when you can’t really see individual faces, but I’m thankful that I was able to communicate [...]

I’ve only been back to Greenville twice since my 1997 graduation from Bob Jones University. Life is too busy. However, my family and I will be on campus for a few days next week following some vacation time. I’ll be preaching in chapel on February 16-17th—a unique opportunity and daunting responsibility. I’d sincerely appreciate your [...]

Preacher, here’s a great statement from John Piper regarding your responsibility to display Christ’s glory as revealed in the Scriptures and thus help hearers change into His image. It comes from the first few minutes of this message (which is part of the series that is now in print as The Pleasures of God).
When it [...]

…and he’s making a lot of sense. The crusades are a blight from church history, not something we should celebrate in any way.
Here’s the comment I made in response to his post:
We’ve talked about this before, Ben, and I heartily agree that this is an unnecessary offense. It’s not a matter of political correctness; it’s [...]

Most daddies cheer for their daughters. That’s good. But the great ones cheer with them.
I love this, probably because it’s the story of my life. It makes me laugh, and (if I weren’t so tough) it could make me cry. Too cute.

Good news from Colorado! My mother (who was diagnosed with a cancer in her eye just over a week ago) met her with her oncologist today. Last week’s full-body scan, bone scan, and brain scan all showed no signs of cancer. I’m relieved and, frankly, surprised. It appears that the cancer in her eye is [...]
