Baptists Committed to World Evangelism

I just finished reading Radical,Taking Back Your Faith by David Platt. I think that it is a book every Christian should read. We call it radical but it is really just Biblical Christianity. Here is an excerpt that I hope will motivate you to get the book: At the end of Luke 9, we find a story about three men who approached Jesus, eager to follow him. In surprising fashion, though, Jesus seems to have tried to talk them out of doing so

I joined a service online where I pay a subscription fee and get two audio books a month then a percentage off any I decide to buy. It has been a great service for me personally. Often when I get home from work, the evenings are packed with spending time with my wife over dinner and studying my Bible that it becomes difficult to focus when reading a book. With these audio books, I am able to “read” while I am at work. It has done a couple things for me

Click here to check out the CBN News Report. More than 40 Christians have been kicked out of Morocco this week, including members of a group that helped run an orphanage in the country. The government says the missionaries were proselytizing, which is against the law in Morocco. Many of the Christians worked at the  Village of Hope where 33 orphans are currently housed

My review and personal application of the book “Don’t Faint … Yet!” Chapter 1: “Ethiopia Bound” The only thing mentioned in the first chapter that stuck out to me was the fact that they had to wait five months after arriving to start their language studies. I’ve realized just recently how fortunate we are to have such a cheap, easily accessible language school.  With listening to other missionaries here, and reading stories like these, it helps me to remember how blessed I am. I have taken this for granted in the past, not to mention the terrible attitude I have showed in the process. Chapter 2: “Our Mud Home” Reading a chapter like this makes me not feel like a real missionary. The luxuries that we have in comparison to these guys (or lack there of), well, it makes me feel like a spoiled brat

Jerry Falwell was one of the larger-than-life people who seemed to dominate the U.S. in the 1980s. Many loved him, and some hated him with a vitriol that surpassed reason. In this biography of Jerry Falwell, his loving wife tells the tale of his life from his birth, through his youth to his conversion, through

I thoroughly enjoyed Seth Godin’s newest book, Linchpin. It spoke about the subject that has most interested me that he has only gave hints to in his other best selling books I have read (ie Purple Cow, Big Red Fez, Tribes, The Dip, Unleashing the Idea Virus, and Permission Marketing). I have been waiting for

This past weekend I had the chance to go back to Kentucky to celebrate my mom’s 50th birthday. My wonderful wife was willing to do the majority of the driving so I had the chance to read several books. I will have book reviews this week for Linchpin, The Life & Legacy of Jerry Falwell,

I challenge all of you to go check out this review by Jeremy Hall of Culture Shock. It is needed and he did a good job.

I just finished reading Grace Awakening by Chuck Swindoll. To be honest I have been afraid of this book for a long time. I thought that maybe it taught an abuse of grace to the point of just living in sin but that is not the case. I enjoyed the book very much. I know [...]

I was recently skimming through a book whose title intrigued me. It’s called Messy Spirituality by Michael Yaconelli, and while I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, there was one small part of the book that provided some food for thought. The author was discussing the subject of unpretending. He had this to say: “Pretending is the [...]
