For those of us from rural American (see my hometown), the significance of the number 22 is that it was the caliber of one’s first rifle.
Abraham Piper now threatens to alter what I associate with the number. He has founded a Continue reading ‘A 22 Caliber Blog’
Dennis Rainey is going to interview Tullian Tchividjian, (See also faces to watch in 2008) tomorrow (2/28/8) and Friday (2/29/8) on the radio; you can check for local station times here: Family Life Radio.

To hear these broadcasts, go to http://www.familylife.com. At the very top, click on Listen to the Broadcast. To hear yesterday’s pgm, click on Past Broadcasts in left side bar.

This article from John and Noel Piper gives some practical tips for parents about how they can help their children learn to sit in church.
Read this story about Pastor Tim Keller’s recent interaction with 20/20′s Martin Bashir. You will learn just reading through some of Keller’s responses.
A couple of years ago, my wife and I talked to our four young children at dinner about whether or not we ought to let angels camp on our deck. I ought to explain that one.
Energized by the Florida sun and invigorated by the rides, Dr. Warnock returned to the U.K. and invited discussion about the nature of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (TBOTHS).
Here’s the question. Does TBOTHS take place at conversion? Or, is it a separate experience for Christians?
Adrian raised the stakes by citing a quote from Lloyd-Jones. I am quite a fan of Lloyd-Jones (in fact I forked over hard earned cash today to buy a book by him only this afternoon). So, it is hard to disagree with him.
Never the less, I do.
Randy Alcorn has a great post on a true genius Blaise Pascal. . . amazing to think that Pascal only lived to the age of 39, and yet accomplished so much.
