A very good use of ten minutes would be to read Carl Trueman's "American Idolatry." You can probably guess what it's about. His basic point?

Friday morning I found out that a highly-respected, enthusiastic, passionate elder at our church had died suddenly of a heart attack on Thursday night. He leaves behind a wife and three children.

I […]

I get to go home to Oklahoma this weekend for my mom's fiftieth birthday. All four boys will be home (I'm number two). I imagine I'll end up writing something about my mom in the coming days. There's a lot to say, and it's all better than good. I'm up late tonight studying for a […]

Tonight at church as I was standing next to Cindi singing the first song (“He Is Exalted”), I saw one of the most striking pictures of diversity that I’ve seen in a long time. In front of us was a white middle-aged couple. Next to them stood Peter Habyarimana, a TMC student from Uganda who's affectionately known […]
