On Sermon Introductions – I’ve got to prepare a sermon introduction today and found H.B. Charles article quite helpful. He provides a long list of pointers on how to do it right.

How Spurgeon Saw His Trials – Charles Spurgeon lived a difficult life in which he experienced a lot of pain and a lot of depression. This article shows how he understood his suffering.

He Is There – I always enjoy Ali’s dispatches from a hospital ship. This one is no exception.

Facebook Cover PhotosCommunicate Jesus has a few Facebook cover photos that you may want to consider using. They also link to a much bigger collection.

The Earth at Night – NASA has released some extremely high-resolution photos of earth at night.
