Enough – Jeff Kamphausen has a great article in ALife this month regarding making Christianity about Jesus and something else. He starts with a quote by A.W. Tozer, “When religion has said its last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself. The evil habit of seeking God-and effectively prevents us from finding God in full revelation. In the and lies our great woe.”

A Display of God’s Glory – This isn’t a real alluring topic for most people–unless you’re Mark Dever. This guy loves thinking and discussing church structure and leadership. It is understandable once it is understood that the way our churches are led and governed either helps or hinder the church be a display of God’s glory. He pastors Capitol Hill Baptist Church in the D.C., so he obviously sees through a Baptistic lens. But to the best of his ability, his intention is to reach conclusions viewing this topic through a Biblical lens. Dever attempts to investigate what Scripture clearly teaches on four of the most basic components of church polity—deacons, elders, membership, and congregationalism.

Take Words With You – “When a small child crawls up on the lap of their father and says, ‘Daddy when are you going to take us to the zoo like you promised?’ the father smiles and assures his child he has not forgotten and is very much looking forward to doing what he promised….in the same way God loves to hear his own words prayed back to him!” Check out this free manual available for download, compiled by Tim Kerr. It is an intercession guide of Scriptural prayers and promises.

Just for Fun – There are not many statesmen in the church that could have this type of winsome conversation.
