Kevin DeYoung warns us about over-hyped church statistics.
It seems that Christians are, of all people, most eager to believe the worst about themselves. But don’t believe everything you read. There are lies. There are damned lies. And then there are statistics.
The Gospel Coalition asks some evangelical leaders (Mohler, Carson, etc…) “What one thing would you change about theological education?”
In a similar and equally important vein, I would remind us all that seminaries, even at their very best and most faithful, can only do so much. The local church is the most important school for ministry and the faithful pastor is the crucial professor. The seminaries that serve best will be those who understand this. (Mohler)
Trevin Wax encourages us to Study Jesus in a post with quotes from a book I have sitting on my desk.
“No one has ever seen God,” John reminds us (1:18). Isn’t that what God said in Exodus 33? “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live” (Exod. 33:20).
Now John adds an exception: “But the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known” (John 1:18).
And, for my fellow outdoorsmen, here is the only reason I have ever considered owning a Dodge Truck (I still won’t buy one, but its a nice feature).
Called the The Mopar RamBox Holster, its a rack that can hold two rifles or shotguns inside one of the lockable, watertight compartments located on either side of the pickup bed.
A $205 option – on top of the $1895 price of the RamBox feature itself – the rack can be rotated to hold six fishing poles for those who prefer quieter trips into the great outdoors.
