Moving On, after a fashion
With the last print issue of Pulpit Helps out the door, I’ve spent all of this week answering the phone and collecting e-mail addresses, hearing from subscribers who for whatever reason had not heard that we were moving online-only until our “last call” mailout.
The vast majority have been completely understanding, and a few have even been […]

“The Passing Pleasures of Sin”
“By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of pharaoh’s daughter; choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin; considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward” (Heb.

I’m taking it for both personal and professional reasons, and I’ve been told all along that this course “will change your life whether you want it to or not.” I […]

Christlikeness
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and freedom to the prisoners, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance […]

Casual Worship?
Living in the Southern United States, I pass several churches each morning on my way to the office. One in particular has a large sign out front trumpeting the latest, greatest ministries and programs they offer. For the past several weeks, however, the sign has advertised something they call “Casual Worship”, presumably a low-key service […]

Who Are You?
Do I give people a reason to ask me a reason for the hope that is in me (1 Peter 3:15)?

. . . An Unworthy Manner
After an overly long holiday break, the blog is back. Hopefully it will be updated more frequently in coming weeks.
”For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty […]
