Daryl Dash shares part of his upcoming article from Christian Week.
Here’s an excerpt of Keller talking about revival:
When revival breaks out through a recovery of the gospel, three things happen:
nominal church members realize they’d never been converted;
sleepy, lethargic Christians are energized and renewed;
outsider non-Christians are attracted into the beautified worship, community and lives [...]

As I mentioned previously, I attended the northeast regional Acts 29 conference. I thought I would take some time to recap some of my experience for the both of you who read this blog. :-)
Warning: This is a long post as I am sharing portions on my notes from the conference.
The day had an early [...]

I found a really cool (and free) program the other day. It’s called iReadFast. Simply cut and paste your text into the app and it flashes the text, one word at a time, in a single screen. You set the playback speed. While it may sound like it could induce a seizure, I found my [...]

I spent a couple hours the other morning reading through 2 Kings at the local Starbucks. The background noise of customers coming and going was not as distracting as I had thought it would be. There’s something about the smell of coffee against the ambient sounds of jazz music mixed with people happily (if not [...]

A couple days ago I read this quote from a burnt-out church volunteer. “When they [the church] see a leader, they hook you. They say, ‘Here is an executive. She’s in our church — let’s use her and make her do these things.’ Before long, it’s ‘Will you teach Sunday school or [...]

That’s about the extent of my playing time in high school basketball. Now I would contend that this was not due to a lack of ability on my part but more a flawed program at the private high school I attended. Regardless of my sinful desire to justify myself, that isn’t the point [...]
