Coffee Creamer? Get Out Of Here… #
Jan. 31st | Posted by Matt
Comments Off
I have a confession to make… While I have learned to be polite about it, it’s slightly offensive to me when people add cream and/or sugar to coffee that I serve without even tasting the coffee first. I am one of those purists that thinks that if any coffee requires additives in order to make [...]
God’s Favor = Tebow Wins? #

Tim Tebow succeeds on the football field because of elves. You can’t see them on television. They’re tiny. But when the game gets tight and the Denver Broncos need a fourth-quarter miracle, the elves come out and do his bidding. Forming a dense pack, they push 350-pound lineman aside, knock defensive backs off their stride, and give speed [...]

Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) #

Written by Denny Burk: I was sad to hear about the passing of Christopher Hitchens last night. He was a unique public intellectual with a rapier wit and an even sharper pen. He seemed to be able to hold forth on almost any topic put before him, and he was as charismatic as they come.

A Puritan Prayer

Lord Jesus, give me a deeper repentance, a horror of sin, a dread of its approach. Help me chastely to flee it and jealously to resolve that my heart shall be Thine alone. Give me a deeper trust, that I may lose myself to find myself in Thee, the ground of my rest, the spring [...]
