Free Resource from 2008 DG National Conference

Just came back from 2008 Desiring God (DG) National Conference in Minneapolis. I took some folks from our church and we all had an enriching time in the word and worship – not to mention word-oriented fellowship and a lot of food and fun.

Listen Up Parents and Pastors!

I would highly recommend every parent, children’s and youth leaders, and pastors to read the article “How (Not) to Raise a Pharisee.” I often address this same sentiment to our congregation but a strong biblical reminder like this is always a plus.

I just finished watching entire session of Republican National Convention (RNC). My observation is that there is definitely a qualitative difference between Democratic National Convention (DNC) and RNC, namely substance. From an oratorical standpoint almost every speaker starting from Mrs. Laura Bush offered several evidential examples as to why RNC has a stronger candidate than [...]
