Pastors Writing Books – Kevin DeYoung writes seven thoughts on pastors writing books.

Kids in a Sex-Filled Culture – Interesting: “I believe the porn pandemic and other forms of illicit sex are really a result of our failure to love God and our neighbors.

Angels We Have Heard On High – This is a pretty good rendition of “Angels We Have Heard On High.”

How Can Jesus Be the Only Way? – Michael Horton answers the age-old question.
