Plunge It......"When it comes to what is ultimately important, the Muslim community's sense ofcommitment to the poor is exactly in tune with where Jesus is in the 25th chapter of Matthew. That is the description of judgment day. And if that is the description of judgment day what can I say to an Islamic brother who has fed the hungry, and clothed the naked? You say, "But he hasn't a personal

Illuminate......"One of the great dangers of crowds in the blogosphere is that people tend tosay things in an online or anonymous setting that they would not otherwise say. The relative safety of blog commenting, at least as it compares to face-to-face communication, leads people to say things they would never have the courage (or good sense) to say in other situations. And when this kind of

Illuminate.....From the new book by Collin Hansen, Young, Restless, and Reformed: A Journalist's Journey with the New Calvinists (Crossway, April 2008) "While other movements have been making a bigger splash in the headlines, a number of strategic ministries have been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly!) upholding the doctrines of grace, planting churches, seeing people converted, teaching the

Illuminate....."Compass Point is a missional church. We help single mothers afford childcare, we embrace former skinheads and we pass out free water to thirsty people all over town. We have always operated under that overused slogan…”Love Wins”. Here is my problem…I no longer believe that anymore. Love doesn’t win…truth does!!! Christ said…”I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life. No one comes

Paul WasherSunday – Matthew 5 – Continued“New creatures must do new things but the working out of that takes a lifetime.”This session I frantically took down 8 ½ pages of notes because I didn’t want to forget anything. There was SO much that made me think hard and in new ways about the truth of God’s word and I wanted to be able to come back to it and spend some more time interacting with what I

I dropped by Tim Challies book table to buy his book and hoped to meet him, but unfortunately, he's under the weather and missed the session tonight. Praying that he'll be better in the morning! Ryan was feeling unwell today as well. He stayed in the room and napped while we explored Chattanooga. We brought him back a "Sausalito" which is a turkey sandwich with salsa and pepper jack cheese.

Jono Sims started his talk with the words "verbal, plenary, inspired scripture." Not the usual words you'll hear at a youth conference!! But then, this is no ordinary youth conference. There are no vendors hawking glowsticks or t-shirts in the lobby (although there is a small room with a few book tables). There is no dancing in the aisles during driving musical numbers. There are youth groups

We started the day with a busy breakfast in the hotel. It was jam packed with guests, many of which were teenagers. I saw a plastic bag puffing up in the microwave in popcorn-like fashion and asked the staff-member what it was......no kidding......scrambled eggs!! Let's just say the taste was commensurate with the cooking method. Since seating was in short supply, we shared a table with a family

Reality Check Conference - Day OneWatch the conference live hereI've been wanting to try my hand at blogging for some time now and thought perhaps (not quite) live-blogging from the conference would be the best way to start. After all, if Tim Challies can do it.... : ) Actually, since he's probably in the main room, I thought it would be good to have someone blogging from the "cheap seats," i.e.
