The lifehacker Life Learning Today posted an article entitled 25 Tips to Become More Productive and Happy at Work. And while I don’t subscribe to every tip as a legitimate source of productivity and happiness, quite a few of them can be easily adapted. It is quite a curiosity that Biblical wisdom is often paralleled [...]

What are your favorite?
It has been quite a surprise to me that most posts have received comments, after only a short time on the Internet. I’m grateful that it has been useful to some, though I don’t presume it to ever grow beyond a simple and straightforward site. This most likely will be premature, but [...]
Killing Sin
Posted in Articles, Books, Sin, Thoughts on August 29, 2007 | No Comments »
What a provocative and liberating concept! For those than have become sensitive by the Lord’s work in their hearts, it is often easy to identify sin, but the struggle can seem much more than we can bear. Sin seems to still dominate our lives. Yet, Paul tells us in Romans that the [...]
Biblical Counseling and Psychology
Posted in Bible, Church on August 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »

Posted in Media, Sermons, Video on August 27, 2007 | No Comments »
Currently, YouTube is used predominantly as a medium for interesting but trivial video clips. But, every now and then there are some pearls that are worth the search. And there is a greater opportunity for evangelism there than for clone sites such as GodTube, since very few unbelievers will stumble upon a video [...]

Posted in Audio, Bible, Church, Files, Links, Media, Sermons, Theology on August 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
There are a few teachers whom I admire more than others for their courage, consistency, and calling. John MacArthur is definitely one of them, and his commitment to Scripture is evident in his life and ministry. Though I still practice discernment and test his words against Scripture, most often he proves trustworthy.
Here are [...]

Andreas Köstenberger shares with us the Seven W’s of Writing based on his Introduction to Research seminar. They are familiar - who, what, where, when, why, in what way, and for whom - but we can always use a friendly reminder.

Contemporary Praise and Worship Music
Posted in Worship on August 26, 2007 | No Comments »
We’ve heard the jokes before. Some people say that Christian music is poorly written and the artists are poor musicians. This is even true for some. But, it wasn’t always that way. There was a time when the very best musicians composed music for the Lord, and I’m getting a new appreciation for old and [...]

While you may not agree with everything in the post, Merlin Mann of 43 Folders fame (and the podcast which bears his name) has put together a post on improving presentations based on principles that he has learned. I wonder what, if any, might be applicable to accompany preaching, Sunday School lessons, or workshops?
