Wednesday is for Exalting Christ I have preached this truth for almost 30 years. Of course there are others, like John Piper who says it better than I can. Jesus is glorious. Jesus is good. Jesus is sovereign. Jesus can always be trusted. Jesus is the treasure in the field. Nothing is more valuable than … More God is Most Glorified When I Am Most Satisfied in Him
The following set of quotes were originally complied by the Independent Journal Review. They had lots of pictures of the men and women to whom the quotes belong. All I have done is place them side by side in a chart to make the contrast more clear. The quotes contrast the intellect of the Founding … More Great and Not-So-Great Thinkers: Founders of the Nation vs Democratic National Leadership
Tuesday is for Apologetics Here’s a great video from Dr. William Lane Craig who takes on a young atheist who is clearly in over his head.
Sunday Afternoon Musings Here’s another cultural phenomenon that is becoming more frequent, boredom killings. The lack of respect for human life is stunning and it should drive us to pray for our nation’s repentance. A handful of young homicide suspects and convicted killers have in recent years told authorities they were pushed by boredom to … More Another Reason the Church Needs to Get Serious about Revival
Weekend Links Fighting pornography might be one of the most effective things a church can do to helps in boys become men and its men to become godly.

Thursday is for Worship (And so is every other day of the week) A former student recently emailed me to ask for help in the area of worship. He is faithfully serving a small church in the mid-west and I hope they know what a gem they have as a leader/preacher/thinker. Bottom line, he has … More “Worship at Our Small Church is a Challenge”
Wednesday is for Prayer “Two things in particular marked off the Christian Church of New Testament days from contemporary society; the purity of the lives of its members and the love that they so fully practiced.” —Leon Morris, Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, p. 79-80 Cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:9
Tuesday is for Preaching Praying for my own soul and for all the preachers of America to let this perspective saturate their hearts. Jesus covered His territory like a flame, preaching God’s Word in the Spirit’s power (Luke 4:14). “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,” He said, “because He anointed Me to preach … More “Jesus Covered His Territory Like a Flame”
Monday is for Discussion Renate Wind teaches at the Dietrich Bonhoeffer School in Weinheim, Germany. Her biography of Bonhoeffer, Dietrich Bonhoeffer: a Spoke in the Wheel, is much shorter than the modern opus Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxes and I am not far enough along in the book to give an opinion on it. But there … More “Be More than You Appear”
