Feelings…and Dr. Jones.

Sometimes I wonder what I’m thinking. Martin Lloyd Jone’s (1899-1981) book Spiritual Depression has been testified about repeatedly by some of my greatest heroes in the faith (John Piper, CJ Mahaney, Bob Kauflin, Mark Driscoll…to name just a few). So the big question is – why haven’t I read this sooner? Duh. Each chapter has […]

Culture and Worship (and Idolatry)

I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure where this post is going to go.

Perspective in Trials | Dress like a man.

Well, not really when you compare the number of copies […]

Maybe it’s the faux-hawk, but probably because I’ve realized that he has learned an amazing amount, is a great no-nonsense communicator, and will ferociously stand where God has placed him. For years I have heard him speak here and there at various conferences and liked what […]
