That the glory of the Lord might cover the dry land as the waters cover the sea
In God’s mercy and kindness I have been called as the (bi-vocational) preaching pastor at Kenwood Baptist Church here in Louisville.

I have recently come into possession of the resource rich Logos Gold. As I prepare to travel this weekend, I’m installing the software on my laptop. My suspicion is that most everyone younger than me, along anyone more techno-savvy than me (which includes most people), will prefer digital books to the printed and bound kind. …
Dr. Greg Wills gave his Faculty Address here at SBTS last week, and it was a fascinating analysis of the “realist” policy pursued by liberals who knew they had to hide what they really thought from the people in the churches who funded their livelihoods.

Dumisani Theological Institute in South Africa is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. I only know of this school because of my friend Alistair Wilson, who teaches there. Alistair also serves as the New Testament book review editor for Themelios, so if you’re sympathetic with the aims of The Gospel Coalition, you have a friend …
Ministers of the Gospel should be calling people to faith in Christ and repentance from sin. We are stewards of the mysteries of God, charged to preach the word, and given the good news of a way to be reconciled to God through faith in Christ and the power of the Spirit. Christ has died …
If you’re in the Louisville area, do check out the conference here at SBTS next week on Southern Seminary and the History of American Christianity. The lineup of speakers is an impressive array of historians from whose writings I have profited. The schedule is here.
Dr. Mohler’s column today, “Pornography, Public Culture, and the New Administration,” has the details on Barack Obama’s shameful nomination of extremist-pornography-defender David Ogden for the post of Deputy Attorney General of the United States. This is a shameful outrage. David Ogden has sued to create a society in which children are easily snared by the …
May the Lord comfort the Hoehner family as they mourn the passing of Dr. Harold Hoehner. Dr. Hoehner’s children are scattered all over the world in the Lord’s service, so they are in need of prayer as they seek to make long journeys to an unexpected funeral. DTS has a tribute up to Dr. Hoehner …

I am not as grateful as I should be for the folks at BibleWorks, and I am not as excited as I should be about the release of BibleWorks8. But I am grateful, and I am excited. I won’t bother you with the details, which are better described at the BibleWorks site, especially in the …
This past week it was my honor to guest blog at Moore to the Point, the blog of my Dean, Dr. Russell D. Moore. I wanted to gather the links all in one place, so here are my posts: December 28, 2008 Meditate on It Day and Night December 29, 2008 Stirring the Pot: How Should the …
