Humor: Here’s a strange one: Go to Google Images and do a search for “challies.” Take a look at the fifth result. And incidentally, I have no idea who that is in the third result.
Blogspotting: Adrian Warnock attempts to shift the blame for his blog design. I don’t blame him. Thumbs up to the clean up!
Humor Bonus: Steve Camp posts a list of lighbulb jokes. You’ve probably already heard most of them.
Du Jour: Phil Johnson has an absolutely fascinating article about Herb and Ruth Clingen two missionaries who were held prisoner by the Japanese in WW2.

A LA Carte (09/08)

What Makes You Beautiful

I have often thought of a conversation that took place when my girls were little. Abby was perhaps 5 or 6 at the time and Michaela just working her way through the “terrible twos” (which for our kids always happened when they were three or four). A stranger saw me interacting with them one day…

Did Francis Prove To Be “The Humble Pope?”

Francis’ time as pope has come to an end and already many are attempting to define his legacy. Was he a reformer? Was he a progressive? Was he an apostate? Perspectives are wildly varied with some honoring him as the greatest pope of modern times and some dishonoring him as a disgrace to the office.

They Won’t Because They Can’t

If you’ve flown recently, you have probably made the same observation I have: No one pays attention to the pre-flight safety videos. There may be the occasional uptick in interest after a well-publicized crash or near-disaster, but soon old habits return—people stuff their AirPods into their ears and stare at their phones rather than watch…

The Winds Blow Hardest Against the Tallest Trees

Through the weekend had many questions about Christian leaders who fall. And I expressed that just as the winds blow hardest against the tallest trees, so temptations may press hardest against the leaders who rise the highest. Just as floods press against shallow roots, so seductive desires rise up against those whose fall would bring…

Why We Ask So Little of God

Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little, and are content with little. Though the Bible calls us to pray and though it promises that “the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working,” we can still have very modest expectations of what God will accomplish through…

In early 2020, CHBC, along with almost every other church in the world, was forced to contend with the opening days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
