P2R Memory Moleskine in 2012?

December 23, 2011

That’s the question I have been asking since June.  The Partnering 2 Remember Memory Moleskine took a life of its own this year with over 30,000 people participating in the challenge.  To say that I was blown away by the response would be a great understatement.  A Facebook page was created as well as a [...]

Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done = Repent and Believe

December 13, 2011

At the very heart of the Lord’s Prayer is the petition, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”  Like so many other familiar passages of Scripture, I fear that there are myriads of truths that fail to be apprehended due to our contemptible satisfaction of superficial understanding.  Such [...]

Piper on Blessing Interracial Marriages

December 12, 2011

Really instructive thoughts from Piper on the topic of interracial marriage. Since the news of a church in Kentucky banning an interracial couple, these words are particularly relevant.

Steps to Sharing the Gospel with Your Family During Christmas

December 8, 2011

Since Crossway made it free for Kindle, I’ve been browsing through Randy Newman’s book, Bringing the Gospel Home: Witnessing to Your Family Members, Your Close Friends, and Others You Know Well.  This is an incredibly important topic as I have come to find it harder to share the gospel with family members as it is [...]
