Ordinary Cook, Unlikely Hero – “He is history’s most widely read preacher outside of Scripture. More written material exists from him than from any other Christian author, living or dead. It’s estimated he preached to more than 10 million people during his lifetime. The ripple effect of his life and ministry is immeasurable. And he got his theology from an old school cook.”

Satan’s Permission – Paul Tautges offers some thoughts on Satan requesting permission to sift Peter like wheat.

A Better Country for Old Men – A big thumbs up to David Mathis’ plea to older Christian men.
