This is very touching. Faith like this can certainly move mountains.

A Deeper Devotion
The statistics that I listed in my earlier post are telling. Put together 20,000 people who commit their time, money and efforts to making Christ known across the globe and see what can be accomplished. Even on a small scale, imagine what could be done with an entire church of individuals who banded together for [...]
Too Little Expectation?
Well…it’s time to get back in the saddle. I hadn’t planned on being gone for so long but I got swept away by life over the past two months. So let’s get reacquainted. Hi…my name is Jeff. Good to see you again. Now that we have that out of the way…
I’m not the type of [...]
Living on the Front Porch
Here is a couple that embodies what it means to live out the gospel. They have become advocates for many people in imitation of Christ’s advocacy for us before the Father. It is certainly a challenge to me…to feel the burden of the gospel and its implications.

How Do You Personally Walk With Jesus?
I always find it helpful and encouraging to hear how others grow their love for Jesus. Matt Chandler’s word about watching his affections is something we all could benefit from hearing. As Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there you heart will be also.” (Matt. 6:21)

The Protestant Work Ethic
I was listening to a sermon today by John Piper and was struck by a statement he made in reference to humility’s connection to work ethic. Better yet, I found the section in video form. So hear from Piper himself.
Humility toward our abilities and lives brings us to a greater awareness of our need for [...]
First Principles for Young Believers
Here is a wise word from J.C. Ryle to “teachers of souls” concerning young believers and their discipleship. Reflecting on Matthew 9:14-26 in Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (Vol. 1), Ryle says:
We must be careful not to attach an excessive importance to the lesser things of religion. We must not be in a hurry to [...]
Sin Diverts Our Affections
Sin is an extremely dangerous foe. I think there is a good chance that Christians underestimate the power and influence of sin. Yes, we mention it in our churches and talk about the final consequences of a life given over to sin. But what measures are we taking to not only distance ourselves from sin [...]
The Monday Muse: Struggles
I am going to get back on schedule with the “Monday” Muse eventually. I’ve been a little bogged down in other things recently so it’s been hard to stay on top of things here. Nevertheless, I do have a question that crossed my mind last night.
What are some consistent struggles you face as a Christian?
Now…I’m [...]
The Monday Muse: Pursuing Purity
Like this weekend’s U.S. Open golf championship, the previous Monday Muse was taken into a “sudden death playoff.” We’ve had some great discussion so far dealing the compatibility of evolution and the Christian faith. Let me encourage everyone to continue the debate because I think it has a lot of implications. I am quite appreciative [...]
