In a couple of hours, we are headed to Lawrenceburg for Lyssabeth Tatum’s first birthday party. We’re excited about seeing our family for a day or so, and it’ll be a great party. I hope to take and post some pictures of my family on the party. On to the links for this week: 1. Do you want to change the world? Whitticisms shows us that it will not happen through politics. This is a great post! 2. I love posts that remind us to encourage elders (and others, too). Phil Sanders gives us this great reminder this week. 3. Following on the encouragement theme, Dale Jenkins reminds us that…

John MacArthur’s book was written as a response to the growing influence of the feminist movement in both society and religion. The book is well-researched and presents MacArthur’s thoughts INS clear way. Logically, the book presents its arguments very well. Even though we do not hear much about feminism much today, the movement continues, and its influence is unmistakable. To combat the main idea behind feminism, MacArthur simply tries to present God’s plan for men and women in society and the church. He is a huge proponent of a woman’s major sphere of influnce being at home. I feel as though he not only bears that out with Scripture, he…

Just a test of a new iphone application. If this works, I will have the capability to do some neat things on the blog. “This is only a test.”

If you subscribe to the Gospel Advocate, you will notice the work of many great writers. In the August issue, though, one stands out from the rest. My dad, Jim Faughn, has an article published in that issue. It is the article we recently featured on the Friday Links Roundup about becoming an elder. Make sure you read the article and also pass along congratulations to him for “being published.” Way to go, dad!!!

Some podcasts to which I subscribe are simply in the category of general knowledge. They deal with history, language… well, just look at the list. 1. Great Speeches in History Podcast. This is just what it sounds like. Famous–and some not so famous–speeches from the past. My favorite part of this podcast is that there are many different types of speeches. So far, I have heard speeches from such varied men as Malcolm X, Harry Truman, and Babe Ruth. (Release: varies, but about every 3 weeks. Length: depends on speech) 2. How Stuff Works. The How Stuff Works website is a site dedicated to figuring out, um, how stuff works.…

What an uplifting weekend at Lebanon Road! We had our annual Give Away Day on Saturday. The results were amazing. 375 people registered, and there might have been a handful more than that who came. Lebanon Road is so generous, though. Even with that many people, we still had about 1/4 of the items which were donated left when the day was over! We had several people request Bible study, and we were blessed to have at least two visitors on Sunday directly from our Give Away Day. Overall, we had about 60 members of Lebanon Road who helped on Saturday, in addition to dozens more who donated items. It…

Tomorrow is a busy day for us. The Lebanon Road church of Christ will host our annual Give Away Day. It is, well, just what it sounds like. Hundreds of items have been donated by our members and will be given away to people from our community who are in need. Also, about 300 bags of school supplies have been prepared to give to the children in the area. We pray that this will be a great way for folks to see how we care. Many ladies have volunteered time this week to sort the items and prepare them for the day. I’ll have pictures up next week. The amount…
