Thank You, Leah, for 13 Years
Today, Leah and I celebrate our 13th anniversary. Well, actually, we celebrated with a date last night, but that’s a different story. There are certain topics that I simply cannot put into words well enough to express, and my love and admiration for Leah is right up on that list.

Mini-Post: Should Christians Talk about Sex?
“Christians have no right to be embarrassed when it comes to talking about sex and sexuality. An unhealthy reticence or embarrassment in dealing with these issues is a form of disrespect to God’s creation. Whatever God made is good, and every good thing God made has an intended purpose that ultimately reveals His own glory. When conservative Christians respond to sex with ambivalence or embarrassment, we slander the goodness of God and hide God’s glory which is intended to be revealed in the right use of creation’s gifts.” Albert Mohler quotation from this excellent article: http://www.albertmohler.com/2012/06/01/the-seduction-of-pornography-and-the-integrity-of-christian-marriage-part-two-2/

Mini-Post: Judgment and Judgment [Quote]
Other people should be grateful that they will not have to stand before me in the final judgment. In the spirit of insights gained from a former teacher, if I were the judge, some people would be allowed into heaven who should not be there and others would be excluded who should be welcomed in. God will not make such mistakes. Although we can live in the confidence that God is a righteous judge and that in Christ we do not have to fear His judgment, it is still sobering to contemplate standing before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10). In the meantime, although not passing judgment on one…
