Christianity Today has published online a short news item about the UK which I wrote for them. The article, entitled Surprise Appointment, begins as follows: The appointment of Joel Edwards, general director of the U.K.’s Evangelical Alliance, as a commissioner to the nation’s Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has drawn complaints from gay activists. Formed to enforce legislation guaranteeing age, ethnic, disability, gender, and sexual preference equality, the EHRC brings together the U.K.’s three previous equality commissions.

Although I am on a blog holiday at the moment, it gives me great pleasure to welcome my friend and newly published author, Tim Challies, to the blog for the next portion of his blog tour. Today he will answer a question submitted by another blogger. As I discuss spiritual discernment with other people, one of the questions that always seems to arise is this one: “Isn’t spiritual discernment a gift of the Holy Spirit?”The answer to this one is,... Read more

No. 24 on the list of the most widely read posts among readers of my blog appeared on July 13, 2007, and provided an audio link to my interview with Rob Rufus. Interviewing Rob at the end of the Together on a Mission 2007 Conference was memorable, and those who listened to the mp3 will know just how much laughter was a part of that conversation. In December 2007, the written transcript of this interview with Rob Rufus was published... Read more

John Piper: – “God exists to be worshipped—to be admired and treasured and desired and praised. Therefore, the Word of God is written primarily to produce worship. This means that if that Word is handled like a hot-dish recipe or a repair manual, it is mishandled. And the people will suffer. The Truth of God begs to be handled with exultation. And our hearts yearn for this and need it. Something in us starts to die when precious and infinitely... Read more

I just received the following announcement in my e-mail about a blogging tour that Tim Challies will be taking next week. I have previously highlighted Tim’s book here on my sidebar, and in my review of it, in which I said: “Tim Challies takes us from the turbulent marketplace of ideas that is the modern western church back into the world of the Scriptures. Sadly, today many people fall into the trap of being naively blown from one wind of... Read more

I really must get around to bringing my story up-to-date in 2008! I have been... Read more

Actually, am I the only one who is starting to worry about Google’s total dominance? “Yesterday I linked to Google’s new calendar (together with many other bloggers!). This is such a... Read more
