To Tweet or Not to Tweet – Should we tweet during a sermon? If so, how is that different from taking notes in a notebook? Here are some questions this author is asking–the kinds of questions we come up with in this digital world.

Calling Men – Mary Kassian was calling men for International Women’s Day (which took place yesterday).

Why Imposters Love the Church – “The New Testament warns us, of course, about spiritual impostors. Sometimes these ‘wolves’ are there to introduce subtly false doctrine.

No man ever fell into error through being too watchful.

—C.H. Spurgeon

    Why We Ask So Little of God

    Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little, and are content with little.
