Quote of the week comes from our actual meeting. I asked Jonathan if he prayed at all this week. His answer was, “I tried, but I forgot the story.” Hmm…I think I may have explained how to pray poorly. We’ll get to that in a minute. First…how cool is the [...]

Sorry…when I decided to do a blog on reading, I had no choice in the title.
Anyway, OK today Tim Challies wrote his blog on 10 Tips to Read More and Read Better. It is awesome. Way better than what I’m about to write. Actually, that’s a good point.
Stop reading.

Dever’s Call to action was a perfect way to complete an exceptional book. I would do him an injustice if I closed this series without his closing:
We want to see a renewed commitment to and joy in the great privilege we have of sharing the good news of Christ with the lost and dying [...]

OK, now this is just becoming a quote blog, but I don’t care. Here is one more from Dever (actually, I know there will be at least one more after this one). What can I say, I want to remember these beyond the reading of this book.
The redemption of an eternal soul is [...]

As a refresher, last week we walked through the third chapter of the Gospel of John. This was a tough week for me, because it is a call to repentance in the chapter. Jonathan and I had a good week of discussing what it means and I will this week spend more time [...]

Quote of the week comes from Noah at dinner tonight. “Can I have some more orange wine?” A father has never been so proud, I mean embarrassed, no…proud.
So we were in John Chapter 3 today. This chapter speaks directly to our response to the gospel, so what response should I look for [...]

As a refresher, last week we walked through the second chapter of the Gospel of John. We started each section by defining words, we then read the text and followed it with an explanation of the section. It was very exciting to see Jonathan accepting these concepts with little to no resistance. [...]

Here’s a picture of him as fire for Halloween (Noah was a fireman).
I’ve been putting quotes up every week from Jonathan typically about our meeting. Just now I was sitting here working on this and Jonathan came up to me and said,
Instead of buying something at Starbucks, can we just bring our [...]

I have to say “The Gospel & Personal Evangelism” by Mark Dever is one of the most quotable books I’ve read in a while. It has really spoken to me. I almost didn’t read this book, because I thought I was good at evangelism. There were always people that I was talking [...]
