Friday, March 16th, 2007Andrew Jones tipped me off to this series of rants from Mark Riddle. (Beware the sometimes colorful language.) Some of the commentary sounds bitter and whiny.

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007Pastor Daniel Hill (River City Community Church, Chicago) offers great insights into reaching “post-Christians” after first contrasting them with “pre-Christians” over at the Christianity Today Leadership Journal website.

Sunday, March 11th, 2007Today the fam visited Brooklyn Tabernacle to watch the premiere of a new documentary called Forgiven, about a spiritual revival among the inmates at Angola State Prison in Louisiana.
