D.A. Carson and Tim Keller report: Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle has recently announced he is stepping down from the Council of The Gospel Coalition. Mark let us know in advance of his intentions, part of a major reorganization of his priorities and a changing of the guard in Acts 29.

But he is also entitled to the presumption of innocence, and deserves physical safety as the facts of the case are sorted out. Briefly (and … [Read more...] about Update on Trayvon Martin Case
Time For The Talk: Leading Your Son Into True Manhood
I read this fantastic book in preparation for some messages I gave at Riverbend Community Church in Ormond Beach, FL a few weeks ago. I think every father of a young son should buy it and read it while his son is still a young boy. It will equip him to do something very challenging and absolutely crucial in our day: Lovingly, biblically and effectively communicating to his son the changes that come with puberty, the dangers associated with the world's distortions of God's good gift of sexuality, and how to glorify God as a man. Today only, it's on sale for $6.98 - 50% off. Ted Tripp's … [Read more...] about Time For The Talk: Leading Your Son Into True Manhood
Albert Mohler Interviews President Jimmy Carter
President Jimmy Carter recently came out with a study Bible. It is called NIV Lessons from Life Bible: Personal Reflections with Jimmy Carter. Dr. Albert Mohler recently interviewed President Carter on his views of the Scripture. I've not yet heard it, but I look forward to doing so. Denny Burk reports that it is "an interview, not a debate (though Dr. Mohler’s registers disagreement with him on some point during the conversation)." Read the transcript or listen to the audio. … [Read more...] about Albert Mohler Interviews President Jimmy Carter
