A panel at Southern Seminary featuring Al Mohler, Jim Hamilton, Bruce Ware, Stephen Wellum, and Gregory Wills discuss Brian McLaren's new book, A New Kind of Christianity. The discussion is especially helpful as we approach Good Friday and focus in on the death and resurrection of Jesus.
As many of you may know, this week is Holy Week. For those of you who didn't know, keep reading. Now, you may ask, what does that really mean? Is there something special about these seven days compared to all the rest of 'em? And actually, yes- there is!

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,
making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding,

In light of holy week, I would like to share a few songs that zoom in on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on behalf of sinners. Last night at the scripture reading that took place at the church house, Pastor Bayly talked about how we all must realize that if we were alive during the time of Jesus, we would certainly be in the crowds yelling "Crucify Him!" I hope these songs draw your heart to worship Christ for his atoning sacrifice applied to his followers.

Spring break may be over, but that doesn't mean that spring is. Nope- it's just starting! There have been some spring showers but there've also been some absolutely beautiful days. Blue skies and sunshine seem to make everything better, even going to classes after a week off.
In light of this, we want to celebrate by doing something really 'springish' like... a PICNIC. Maybe that counts as more of a summer time thing, but there's no harm in practicing. So, here's the plan for a perfectly pleasurable peaceful and pastoral picnic (say that three times fast!) :

I was reading Jeremiah chapter 8 this morning over a bowl of granola, and was caught off guard by a portion of verse 8 that I had never noticed before. Granted, I haven’t spent a great deal of time poring over the prophet Jeremiah, which is a failing, because all of scripture is God-breathed and profitable, but I have read it before, and yet these few words had escaped my notice until today.
