He Will Hold Me Fast – Here’s some information about a song we’ve just begun singing at Grace Fellowship Church. It’s a good one.

Evangelism and Discipleship – 9Marks has an interesting article for you to read. “We asked several pastors to tell us a few practical ways they encourage evangelism and discipleship in the life of their particular local church. Answers are below.”

Am I Called? – Dave Harvey did an interview with me for his podcast; it’s just been uploaded if you’re interested in listening in.

We’re Doing It Again – Mike Wittmer: “Yesterday Matt Lauer interviewed Nancy Writebol in front of a banner that read SIM. It was so third century.” It’s true.
