Today’s Top Read:

This article, from Tim Challies, is directly related to yesterday. And every Lord’s Day. Sing. Sing to the Lord.

This a great episode/article from Ask Pastor John (Piper) from over at DesiringGod.org, and the one thing that I glean from reading this, as from Scripture, is that we should never try to put numbers or statistics to the depravity of mankind. Ever.

Interesting and thought provoking, this is an edifying read, and this comes from me, someone who used to not be able to stand hymns at all. Now? I love them! Why? Theology.
How Does the Gospel Shape Our Goals for Children’s Ministry?
Honestly, the Gospel should shape our goals. Period. Children’s ministry, in today’s day and age, ought to be a focal point for this because of the world around us. We must be focused on the Gospel in everything. Love this read (or listen/watch).
