Taking a much needed break, for some restoration, rejuvenation, rediscovery, and repentance. Pleasing Pain will not be gone forever, just for a short while. It will be back, with a new look, new heart, and new joy in Jesus. Pray for us as we pray for you. Goodbye for now – see you on the […]
David Platt on the dangers of the “sinner’s prayer”: A specific “sinner’s prayer” like we often think of today is not found in Scripture or even in much of church history. Without question, Scripture tells us to confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and to call on the name of the Lord and […]

Now, as political and newsy as it may […]
Jonathan Parnell over at the Desiring God blog recently wrote a nice piece on the current craziness of Chick-fila: Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong.
