Here’s another cut from my book: 1. Persevere in Prayer Perseverance in prayer as a key means of overcoming obstacles. Don’t stop praying about something just because it hasn’t been answered within a few days or weeks. Keep pressing on. This is exactly what Jesus commands us to do: “And he told them a parable […]
Get a Bible You Like to Use
This is a cut from my book that I’m not including so I can stay within my word count. This is from the chapter “The Role of Prayer and Scripture in Your Productivity”: Have a Bible you like to use. It’s true that what really matters is the Bible itself, not the particular format it’s […]
The Fruit of the Spirit and Your Work
So, in what areas of life are we to manifest the fruit of the Spirit? Just at church? We are to manifest the fruit of the Spirit in all areas of life. We so easily miss that. It’s easy to think of the fruit of the Spirit and other Christian virtues as applying to some […]
Every Member … Mercy Ministry?
A good observation by Tim Keller in his book Ministries of Mercy: We have done a good job of teaching that every believer is a minister and to be a witness. But we haven’t done a good job of teaching that every Christian is to be engaged in mercy ministries. We have almost completely ceded this […]

5 (Other) Books I'm Looking Forward To
At T4G last week, I was actually restrained in the zero dollar bookstore. Yes, even in the bookstore where every book was free, I didn’t “buy” everything, because for the time being I’m seeking to reduce input in order to increase output (a strategy I’m testing — it’s not always good, but I’m trying to […]
Subversive Kingdom: Rebelling Against the Rebellion
I’m very much looking forward to reading Ed Stetzer’s forthcoming book Subversive Kingdom: Living as Agents of Gospel Transformation. Here’s a quick summary, which is what gets me excited about the book (along with the fact that it is by Ed Stetzer): How would our culture change if the entire Christian community started actively, intentionally […]
David Murray on "Celebrity Pastors"
This is an excellent post by David Murray: I Met a Celebrity Pastor Yesterday. It is short, well said, and very much worth reading. And it won’t be what you expect.
The Secret to Christian Community
I don’t know everything there is to know about Christian community. Far from it. But here are two things I know: First, too many Christians live their lives alone, or with insufficient Christian community. Second, the way to true Christian community is to focus first on God, not on having community. If your ultimate aim […]
The Geography of Neglect
I just received in the mail the latest episode of Dispatches from the Front by Frontline Missions. Andy Naselli notes that this episode is excellent, just like the previous ones. I’m watching it right now and find it to be excellent as well. My only recommendation to Frontline Missions is to get these in to Netflix […]
