Video of the Week

Articles of the Week
Being a Burden, Ed Welch.
Tebow’s Big Fumble, Al Mohler. Tim Tebow’s plan to speak at a Texas church caused a frenzy of controversy. Many were miffed that Tebow would speak at a church whose pastor so openly believes in the sinfulness of homosexual behavior. So Tebow withdrew.

The ‘Just-You-Wait’ Mantra: Is Marriage Really That Hard? Sharon Hodde Miller. Why do Christians hold threats of impending doom over one another?
Why Pastors Should Read Over Their Heads, Kevin DeYoung. I try to put this in practice as much as possible. It’s geared to pastors, but most of this is applicable and is excellent advice for all Christians.
