Seems a long time ago now, but I once found a Narnia board game and excitedly brought it home for my children. We sat down to play, and I was devastated. It was all chance, a roll of the dice, a flick of the spinner. No decisions, no choices, no responsibility. The antithesis of the Narnian world and worldview.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your... Read more
Having been in ministry for over 20 years, I have come to a conclusion about how we pastors do a great disservice to our congregants. God has given us the awesome burden to lead local congregations – this is no small thing. This is huge. We are in charge of leading a group of God’s people. It is our responsibility to equip them for their ministries. And we love our job. We pastors are passionate about what we do. We... Read more
