A La Carte (1/29)

The Kings of Israel – This infographic “illustrates the rulers of Israel, the years of their reign, how well they reigned and the passages in the Bible where their stories are told. The graphic also forms a subtle cross which is a picture of the earthy kingdom foreshadowing the coming King.” Here is another infographic that displays America’s most and least churched cities. And while we’re displaying information, here’s a handy chart on how to avoid being “that guy” in class.

Hang in There, Mom and Dad – This blogger crunches the numbers and finds an interesting correlation–parents who remain together have children whose first sexual experiences are later.

The Greatest Dance Number Ever – I’d put this up against the best modern-day stunt for its sheer skill and athleticism. Fred Astaire said it was the greatest dance number ever filmed. No doubt.

When the Elders Say No – “In Persistently Preaching Christ: Fifty Years of Bible Ministry in a Cambridge Church, there is an exceptional instance of Minister and elders (in this case Church Wardens) working together.” It’s a great example of love and humility in action.

Four Types of Faith – From C. Michael Patton: “There are four different ways to define faith. It is incredibly important that we, as Christains, don’t go wrong here.” Indeed. It’s a helpful article.

Iran Sentences Pastor to 8 Years – “An Iranian judge has sentenced an American Christian pastor to eight years in prison after he was tried for his religious beliefs, a U.S.-based religious group said Sunday.”

You are to follow no man further than he follows Christ.

    Modesty Requires Looking Away

    The plane reached the terminal in Recife, Brazil and the ground crew opened the door. I have been through more airports than I can count1 and find they all kind of blur together—jetways, corridors, escalators, luggage belts. But for some reason, I remembered this one from my previous visit. After exiting the secure area, I…

  • The Revelation We All Still Await

    Is God’s Revelation Complete?

    If for so many centuries God revealed himself through the inspired writings that make up the Bible, is it possible that he may add more inspired writings today or in the future? It is a fair question and forces us to distinguish between what God can do and what God has said he will do.
