R. C. Sproul once referred something that he described as, ”almost like a second conversion”. Dr. Sproul was not meaning a second regeneration. In fact, he wasn’t talking about salvation at all. He was talking about what happened when he began to understand the sovereignty and majesty of God. And as silly as these words can sound, when he [...]

I had to drive to shelbyville this morning to drop off a trailer for a friend of my Dad. I was listening to a song entitled, ” I repent” by Derek Webb. Incredible song by the way! One of the lines in that song that has always challenged me is the line that says, “I [...]

This mornings post is a bit confessional but I think most can relate. Have you ever looked back at a conversation with someone, a sermon, letter, or any other form of communication and thought, “I can’t believe I said that!”
I started this morning with reading an excerpt from “My Utmost for His Highest”. I was [...]

There has been a lot of talk around the blogosphere the last few days about Derek Webb’s response the the question, “What is the Gospel?” You can download the whole interview from Said at Southern.

I tend to shy away from asking this kind of question on a blog because many folks won’t reply due to feeling like people might think differently of them or looking like they are less spiritual than others but here it goes anyway. What do you struggle with? What do you think that Christians and non-Christians [...]

I recently told a non-believer that I am a liar. She was speechless. She views me as a “religious” person. Whenever someone wanted to know the truth about a situation at work, she would say, “Ask Josh, he won’t lie.” I had been sharing the gospel with my co-workers and had explained to one of [...]
