From chapter 1 of Let the Nations Be Glad, which I commend to you enthusiastically. Read it, or read it again. “The zeal of the church for the glory of her King will not rise until pastors and mission leaders and seminary teachers make much more of the King. When the glory of God himself [...]

A number of the ChurchWorksMedia.com hymns are being released on upcoming CD’s. That’s exciting, and we praise the Lord for the opportunities. However, we also delight to hear the hymns used in local church settings, whether by soloists, choirs, or congregations. That’s what started writing for, after all. With that in mind, we’re prepping a [...]

More random takes on the Olympics: Is this considered to be the best Olympics ever for the USA? Sure seems like it! The USA’s hockey win over Canada was phenomenal, especially the last 3 minutes. Ryan Miller was amazing in goal. And he needed to be. You’re not going to win many games in which [...]

Details here. Didn’t see that coming. Interesting, to say the least. Ryken is among the most conservative of evangelicals, both theologically and on contemporary issues. Wheaton is…well, not. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It sure seems like an indication that Wheaton will lean back to the right after years of [...]

Quick and random thoughts on a few more days of Olympic action: My hero of the Olympics so far is Sweden’s Anja Pärson. Her crash at the end of the downhill Wednesday—in which she flew almost 200 feet before her crash and burn—was horrifying. I was amazed she wasn’t life-flighted off the mountain afterward. Then [...]

I was blessed in 2006 to travel with several friends to Greece, where we took in most of the biblical sites and a number of other amazing natural and historical sites. (A self-guided tour is totally the way to go; we saw a dizzying number of sites.) I’ve meant to post the pics, but time [...]

Very random thoughts from a couple more days of occasional Olympics viewing: NBC wisely showed the CTV story on Alexandre Bilodeau and his older brother. Beautiful. (I can’t find a link. Help?) Favorite moment Monday night? My first viewing of the Sudafed PE Triple Threat commercial. Hilarious. The German bronze medalists in the Pairs Skating [...]

I enjoyed the discussion that followed my first Olympics post, so I’ll keep chiming in with observations as I have opportunity. Of course, I welcome feedback, as that’s part of the fun. I’ve only seen portions of games thus far, but here’s my two cents on the first two days of competition: With teammates like [...]

Greg Habegger and I have published a new hymn at ChurchWorksMedia.com. It focuses on Christ’s gracious help in every challenge of life—from fear and fatigue to sorrow and sin. We pray it will glorify our Lord and encourage His people! _____ LINKS FOR I RUN TO CHRIST Full Page / Half Page / Text / [...]

I love the Olympics. Always have, but I especially remember being excited about something amazing in 1980, Lake Placid, and being absolutely obsessed in 1984, Los Angeles. (Aside: Are the stories of Mary Lou Retton, Edwin Moses, Carl Lewis, Mary Decker, the men’s gymnastics team, and others really 26 years old? Mercy.) I love the [...]
