Aaron Armstrong on Encourage your pastor, be fruitful.
How do you encourage your pastor? In some ways, the answer seems obvious. We know we should pray for them (and hopefully we do). We know we should thank them. We know we should find ways to help them (all ideas I’ve discussed here). But there’s another way we can do this—simply, by being fruitful.
Marlena Graves on Raising Christians kids in a sex filled culture.
I believe the porn pandemic and other forms of illicit sex are really a result of our failure to love God and our neighbors. Consequently, we cannot merely fixate on “Don’t do this, don’t do that” instruction or on isolating our children. They need to know deep down why we do what we do or don’t do.
Tim Challies on Stopping an affair before it begins.
At one time or another, most of us witnessed the devastation that comes through infidelity in marriage. We have seen marriages stretched almost to the breaking point and we have seen marriages destroyed by an unfaithful husband or unfaithful wife. Affairs do not begin with sex. Falling into bed with a man who is not your husband or a woman who is not your wife is simply one step in a long chain of events, one decision in a long series of poor decisions.
10 Ways to leverage Christmas to reach unchurched people.
So…how are you leveraging Christmas to reach unchurched people? After all, there is really only one time of year left in Western culture when our culture still celebrates something Christians hold dear, and that’s Christmas. What surprising is that many churches don’t really leverage it to make the impact it could.
David Murrow on How to preach to men.
It’s been said that a good sermon is like a good skirt: long enough to cover the essentials, but short enough to keep you interested.
Thom Rainer on 6 pastoral lessons from the coach of a football team that never punts.
The joy, work and beauty of motherhood.
