Yes, it’s time for us to hit the road again. While my schedule is much lighter than it was in 2008 (thankfully!), we still have a few times we will be away. I’m just grateful than very few are extended periods, like this one. Tonight, I’ll be one of the song leaders for a singing at the Glendale Road church of Christ in Murray, Kentucky. My good friend Todd Walker does a tremendous job putting this singing together each year. I led there about three years ago and enjoyed it tremendously. A handful of song leaders will each lead for about 20-30 minutes. If you are near Murray, head out…

Tonight, Leah and I are going to the Mount Juliet church of Christ for a very special evening. Dave Ramsey is leading the Town Hall for Hope from Oklahoma City. The event is being shown all over America. The Town Hall for Hope is designed to provide hope in the midst of this economic distress. Ramsey promises to provide some history, some theology, and some practicality during his 30-minute address. Following the speech, there will be a one-hour question and answer session. Questions are being submitted by studio audience members, email, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Here is the official promotional video for the evening (very much worth watching!). While I’m…

Today’s post is a question for our readers. (Q4Y = Question for You) Please reply with comments so others can respond to your comments, too, if needed. One of my friends sent this question to me in an email, and I asked his permission to reprint it here for your consideration. He graciously agreed and I know he would like to see several perspectives on this. I’m reprinting his question verbatim from the email: “Was Jesus a Roman citizen?” After that initial question, he wrote the following: Paul was a Hebrew but also a Roman citizen I suppose based on birth in Tarsus.Is that one reason the Romans had to…

Okay, I have to confess two things before I begin this post. 1. I have never been a fan of beauty pageants. It really bothers me that we take small girls and tell them to be pretty because that’s what matters. So, this post is jaded a bit by that viewpoint. 2. I totally agree with Carrie Prejean’s statement about gay marriage. Marriage should be between a man and a woman. That’s not only a “family raising” thing, it’s a Bible thing. The Miss USA pageant should have known that, by choosing Perez Hilton as a judge, they were just asking for trouble. Now, with those two points out of…

I’m starting to like these multiple book reviews. I don’t write long reviews, so it makes more sense to put a couple together. Today, there are three. —————————— The Quest for Character John MacArthur This is a very brief, devotional-style book. It has 41 chapters, but only fills 143 small pages. The idea behind this volume is to walk the reader through three “lists” in the Bible that help build Godly character. MacArthur gives brief devotional thoughts on each of the Beatitudes, the fruits of the spirit, and the characteristics of love from First Corinthians 13. I found this book to do well for its intended purpose (give a brief…
