Last week my friend and preaching colleague, Wilson Adams, shared a Facebook post that no doubt resonates with many people—including many Christians.
Consider Wilson’s words in light of Scripture and a few pertinent observations.

More Than Consent
Today’s Facebook Friday draws on a serious post from my friend and preaching colleague, Mark McCrary.
Mark’s observations concern the sexual assault allegations at Cornell University currently in the news. I will spare you the disturbing details, but this link provides background.

A Bible Lesson On Leadership From A Non-Believer
My friend, preaching colleague, and fellow Hoosier, Max Dawson, writes a wonderful weekly column about Kingdom Leaders. Recently, he posted a lesson we can learn from a man outside the Kingdom. It’s a powerful example of how to deal with conflict, be a voice of reason, and pursue peace.

On the Facebook page Mindful Christianity, there is a graphic of a man holding an umbrella for a woman walking in the rain, with this caption:

Are We Secularizing Our Children?
With the recent passing of 96-year-old Sewell Hall, a well-known preacher among our brethren, much has been posted on social media regarding his life, ministry, and influence.

Recently, while scrolling through Facebook and reading reports, articles, and good news from fellow Christians, I came across this thoughtful poem by my friend and preaching colleague, Doy Moyer.

Growing Older
As we hear of the passing of friends, acquaintances, and even people younger than we are, it’s impossible for Norma and me not to realize how richly God has blessed us at ages 78 and 79.
While we have our share of aches, pains, and the inevitable limitations that come with age, we are deeply grateful. Many faithful people were never granted the privilege of living long, fruitful lives.
So when I read this reflection from Daily Devotion, it resonated with me. I hope it encourages you as well—whether you’re young, middle-aged, or enjoying your later years. Continue reading

Pride is one of those sins that are especially deceptive because they often hide behind virtue. Usually, the proud person is frequently the last one to recognize it.
My preaching colleague, Gardner Hall, posted a short but powerful piece a few weeks ago that speaks to this universal challenge; he entitled it The Arrogant “We.”
What is the arrogant “we”? Continue reading
