What’s Coming Soon?

Just a small update on this site. I have been remarkably busy lately and at the same time my daughter has decided that mom and dad just don’t need sleep, so my writing has been minimal of late. I think she’s starting to get the hang of sleeping again, so hopefully I can get back to waking early (which gives me time to write). Here is what is coming soon:

  • The Challies Dot Com contest ends in 2 hours. Winners will be announced tomorrow and the winning entries will be posted here.
  • In all likelihood this site will get a new look in the next few days.
  • I have several articles about a variety of topics in the works.
  • I have book reviews for John Edlredge’s Wild at Heart and John MacArthur’s Ashamed of the Gospel just about ready to go.
  • I will continue my in-depth study of John Piper’s Desiring God.
  • I am planning on posting a list of great resources for finding information about The Passion of the Christ.

So…there is lots coming up. Hang in there and hopefully by tomorrow I’ll have something interesting to say…

  • What Grieves the Heart of God

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
