Today, I begin a series within the Weekly Rap-Up column where I will feature songs from the 2007 release from Reach Records entitled, 13 Letters. And, as you may have guessed, each song covers a letter from Paul from the Holy Scriptures. Thirteen letters from Paul and thirteen songs about those letters. I was first [...]

My studies in 2 Timothy have really convinced me of the priority of the gospel. One aspect of the gospel in particular, which many say is the most crucial, is the resurrection of Jesus. Paul encouraged Timothy with these words, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel.” I [...]

Like most who have purchased the ESV Study Bible, I was very impressed. The font size, the cover, the layout, the material, the notes, the resources all impressed me. Yet alone the translation is superb! But that is not all. In fact, that is the least of it. I’m a nerd. I know it. I [...]

This past year during the beginning of the Christmas season, we at the Gap Chat hosted a short Bible study series entitled, “God Breaks His Silence: What to do When God Speaks.” It was a study covering Luke 1:5-56 where the angel Gabriel appears to Zachariah and Mary announcing the births of John the Baptist [...]

I have been and will be out of pocket until the first full week of 2009 so don’t expect many updates to the site. However, I thought that I would leave you with this. It is a funny video of a husband singing about his wife, whom he thinks is a Calvinist. Be sure and [...]

I never thought the day would come when John MacArthur would appear on TBN. But in God’s sovereign will, He ordained it to be so. It was no surprise to me how it happened. He was a guest on a broadcast hosted by Kirk Cameron. Kirk is no stranger to the gospel message. If you [...]

This past year I was fortunate to be asked to put together an online presence for a particular youth ministry. They allowed me to run with any ideas that I may have and so I pulled out something that was reall deep in my heart. It was an idea geared at redeeming the web. I’ll [...]

If you haven’t yet recieved a message recommending you to watch the new online short film called, Volition. You have now. I admit that when I was first told to watch it, I didn’t. I save it for later. I generally do that with videos as an attempt at managing my time. But this one, [...]

One of my favorite books is entitled, Shepherding a Child’s Heart, by Dr. Paul Tripp. It’s a book about parenting – but not like most books you may have read. This gets biblical. Tedd understands that the aim in parenting is not to punish or fix the behaviors of our kids, but to shepherd and [...]

Something we can use more of is free, online, Bible study tools. I believe this so much which is why I started The Preacher’s Suite (beginning with The Preacher’s Library). There are a few notable services online. The Resurgence Greek Project, and theWord are two good ones. Most are quite useful to your studies in [...]
