God and Father, we thank You now for the gift of worship, which is our true food and drink. We praise You for nourishing and feeding us according to Your Word, and by Your Word. We thank You for the food before us now, which provides us with a picture of how wholesome our spiritual …
Come Again?
“In literature, a whole generation of deconstructionists has emerged within the universities who, despite their calling to be the custodians of the nation’s language, now make their living by denying that words have any meaning at all.” [David Wells, No Place for Truth (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1993), p. 65.]
Wearing Sweats Into the Throne Room
“We find that in Scripture, salvation is frequently pictured for us in the image of wonderful clothing: ‘Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you’ (Is. 52:1). Granted this is a metaphor, but …
La Bella Vita
Well. This has been quite a week for shameless appeals. But I don’t mind. They’re shameless. Off to the left (under Family and Friends) you can find Live Lovely, which is my youngest daughter’s work. Luke and Rachel Jankovic own and operate La Bella Vita, a shop to help equip us all for sabbath living.
Charges and Specifications

“It is, in fact, this assumption of an ability to move from one plateau of achievement to another that has given us a need always to be post: we feel compelled to assure ourselves that we are post-Puritan, post-Christian, and post-modern. Our world is post-industrial and post-business. Our time is post-Vietnam, post-Watergate, and post-Cold War.” …
Vocabulary of Obedience
“Put another way, the Bible does not tell us whether the British or the American military salute is ‘more proper’ than the other. But it does require the fact of the salute. Expressions of honor are common to all human societies, and the Bible requires that we honor others and maintain such expressions of honor. …
Logos Curriculum
The Logos School board meets monthly on housekeeping issues, but in addition to this we have an annual board meeting that focuses on long-term vision. The board members also have a day every spring where we visit the classrooms and observe the instruction that is actually occurring on the ground. Speaking as an (admittedly biased) …
Ezra Nehemiah 11
Introduction: Repentance may be felt (and usually is felt) at a deep emotional level. But this does not remove the need to be careful and deliberate in how things are set right. The Text: Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there …
