David Platt spoke Monday night from Exodus 33.1-4, 12-18. It’s a rather dramatic moment in Moses’ and Israel’s relationship with God. Basically, the Lord has just extinguished the lives of a few thousand Izzies for worshipping the golden calf. In an expression of his divine sovereignty, he announces to Moses that he may go on [...]

On Monday, Michael Kelley and David Platt both preached and taught powerfully from God’s Word. Both were complementary of each other. The point is an old one, but they presented it with biblical authority and conviction: go to and get involved in the church! Christians who disparage the church are also maligning the very bride [...]

I’m pooped. And I need a walker. Jeremy and I hiked six miles yesterday after lunch to see a ghost town. It wasn’t much more than a clearing back up in the mountains. It was stunningly beautiful. Blue spruce trees really have a blue tint to them. We also saw the remnants of an old [...]

I’m at Glorieta for National Collegiate Week. Michael Kelley is the Bible study leader for the mornings, and David Platt is the teacher during the evenings. Both brought the Word of God with conviction and authority today. The gathered crowd of 1500+ collegians and ministers were visibly moved by the messages. Kelley spoke from Mark [...]

Listen to David Platt and Michael Kelley’s messages from Sunday here.

I mentioned earlier that I’ve written a chapter for Age of Conversation: Why Don’t They Get It? It comes out next month, shortly after Labor Day. I hope you’ll order a copy. Bring it by, and I’ll sign it and smile bashfully. All proceeds go to the Variety Children’s Charity. There are 243 authors! Pretty [...]

OK, I’ve been using Swurl for about two weeks now and LOVE it. Of course, it’s competing in my microblogging heart for affection with Tumblr. I’d be curious which of the two websites you like the most. journeyguy.tumblr.com journeyguy.swurl.com Both are wonderful tools for lifestreaming. Both are very easy to set up. Both allow you [...]

You may recall my incredible experience at National Collegiate Week in beautiful Glorieta, New Mexico at this time last year. This morning, Jeremy and I are heading out for this year’s event – a week of worship, learning, fellowship and God-exalting fun with some of the dynamic believers of the universities of the world. It promises [...]

Many of you have noticed the icon to the right at the bottom of all my posts. It’s a referral tool, and there are dozens of them out there. When you click on the button, it gives you an option to refer – or “Digg!, stumble, spurl, etc. – the entry you have just enjoyed reading [...]

The unthinkable and ridiculous happened this past Saturday night – Sunday morning. Another scooter was stolen from our carport.  Yup. This time, it was Sam’s electric scooter that he had received for Christmas. Adelyn’s identical pink scooter was parked right next to it (and has since been moved from the carport).  I can’t even begin [...]

This is the audio of John Piper’s sermon from July 13, 2008. Piper examines the importance and biblical foundation of church membership. His points are powerful refutes of the “I don’t need to belong to a local church” attitude that has ebbed and flowed throughout history.  He details “5 strands of evidence” which include: The [...]

Poor Al Gore. What cause will he have to resort to for publicity and limelight if hanging chads and global warming are no longer in vogue? I have always had a niggling doubt in the back of my mind about the veracity of global warming. How could the tiny machinations of man impact the massiveness [...]

As I was saying in the last post, Hugh Hewitt’s book Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation was a challenge and provocation for me. The more I reflected on it after reading it, the more I realized that in many ways my blog was, well, bland.  I hate to admit that to myself, because I feel that I’ve been [...]

The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis   I was reading this short book by C.S. Lewis at a swim meet a week ago. Imagine my surprise when I was approached by three different people who had read it and asked if I was liking it! That’s pretty unusual for southeast Arkansas – or perhaps [...]
