The Life and Faith of Tim Tebow
There’s a great story at ESPN about the life and faith of Florida Gators’ football star Tim Tebow. “There are plenty of athletes who talk the pious talk. Plenty of athletes who write scripture on their eye black the way Tebow does or thank God after victories.

How many, at age 21, have done as much work on behalf of those less fortunate?”


How Often Should We Take Lord’s Supper?
Jim Hamilton continues a series of interesting posts at Russell Moore’s blog. This time he asks how often churches should celebrate the Lord’s Supper. He says “Let’s cut straight to the chase: I think the New Testament indicates that the early church took the Lord’s supper every Lord’s day, that is, every Sunday.”

  • Throw Out the Buoys

    Throw Out the Buoys!

    When I was young, my family owned a cottage on a lake. From a young age, I loved to head out in our little motorboat so I could explore that lake and the others that were connected to it. I could easily make a day out of slipping into little inlets to see where they…
