Friday Frivolity

Reach out and grab the book that is nearest to you. If there are two that are equally near, take the one with the prettiest cover. Open it up and turn to the 39th page. Find the third sentence.

In my case, the sentence is: “The prophecy in the Old Testament is that his name will be Immanuel, and then we go to the New Testament, and they don’t name him Immanuel; they name him Jesus.” For those who are curious, this is taken from R.C. Sproul’s book Now, That’s A Good Question which, for some reason, was propped on the printer beside me.

    Why Not Use a Daily Liturgy for Your Devotions?

    Trends come and go. Certain habits or interests rise for a time, wane, then rise again, often at unexpected moments. One of the recent trends I have found particularly surprising and also particularly interesting is the rise (or re-rise, if you prefer) of liturgy. This may be liturgy within formal worship services of the local…
