Interview on Feelings and Faith – Brian Borgman
I previously posted my own endorsement of Feelings and Faith: Cultivating Godly Emotions in the Christian Life. Pastor Brian was also kind enough to do a brief interview for us about the book. Why did you write this book? A number of years ago I preached a series called, "A Biblical Understanding of the Emotions." I originally intended it to be a short series, maybe 3 or 4 messages, but it grew into 22 sermons. The sermons were very well received by our congregation. The series aired on Pilgrim radio and the response was very positive as well. Our church administrator put the sermons on … [Read more...] about Interview on Feelings and Faith – Brian Borgman
Faith and Feelings – A Great New Book
Brian Borgman has teamed up with Crossway Publishers to provide a significant blessing to the church with the release of the book Feelings and Faith: Cultivating Godly Emotions in the Christian Life.

The top one is the easiest, most straightforward example. … [Read more...] about Math TV — A Great Learning Tool
Plodding and Productivity
Speaking of Douglas Wilson, this old post he wrote on the fruitfulness of plodding is insightful. Excerpts: I believe in plodding. Productivity is more a matter of diligent, long-distance hiking than it is one-hundred-yard dashing. Doing a little bit now is far better than hoping to do a lot on the morrow. So redeem the fifteen minute spaces. Chip away at it. For example, I have a stack of six books that I am working through most weekday mornings -- a page or two of each every time I sit down to read. I do the same thing with writing -- if you have time for a little bit, then do a little … [Read more...] about Plodding and Productivity
