No Third Way – I think Al Mohler is exactly right: When it comes to the issue of same-sex relationships, there is no third way. On a similar note, Denny Burk has a resolution on transgender in the SBC.

10 Things You Should Know About Evangelism – Mack Stiles lists them.

Listen When You Apologize – This is helpful counsel we will all have reason to practice at one time or another.

Feeling God? – I appreciate this article from Matthias Media. “Do you ever wonder if there’s something more to the Christian life?

A Passion for Preaching – This month’s interview in Tabletalk is with one of my favorite people: Steve Lawson.
