The Meaning of the End of October

Well, it’s coming to the end of October, and that means several things. First, the epicness that is Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner. Second, the celebration of the beloved Reformation Day is coming up. Third, every blogger in all of Christendom is going to write a blog about Halloween or Hell houses. Well, I don’t see a reason to fight the trend here.

The Sanctifying Work of Waiting

If nothing else, my generation and those that follow are impatient to the core. We want fast food, fast cars, fast computers, and fast answers.

Russell Moore on Adoption

I like Russell Moore. I may disagree with him on some things, and that’s okay. Disagreement between people who love God and love Theology is not only natural, it’s unavoidable.

He has a way of showing us, not only the gospel’s implications, but the gospel itself in many aspects that most wouldn’t consider related to the gospel. I particularly love is view of adoption.
