The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon are back in production after a nearly two-and-a-half-year hiatus. Originally planned as a 12-volume set, the project will only produce 9 volumes — one per notebook of Spurgeon’s earliest sermons. I reviewed Volume IV earlier this year and noted what had changed under the new editor and research […]
Bunyan’s Badman: Why buy the cow when the milk is cheap?
John Bunyan is one of the most famous Baptists in history, though I suspect he’s less well-known today than at any other time in the last 50 to 100 years. Google would seem to agree. In case the name is unfamiliar to you, Bunyan is famous for writing Pilgrim’s Progress. This is a beloved Christian […]
Reading some Spurgeon in 2021
After going on a nearly two-and-a-half-year hiatus and transitioning to a new editor and research team, The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon are back with Volume IV. Courtesy of Broadman and Holman Publishers, I’m glad to bring you up to speed on the latest addition to this series. First, a little background on Charles […]
Are you feeling called to Charlestown, Indiana?
I clicked on a link to a page on the SBC website recently and discovered that the link was broken. What happened? Well, it seems that the entire site has been overhauled, and it looks pretty good. I’m surprised the Baptist Press didn’t cover it. It’s been a while since I shared a job listing, […]
Are you feeling called to Gillette, Wyoming?
Did you know that the SBC website has church job listings throughout the country? Some of those vacancies could use a little extra advertising, so I’ve taken it upon myself to highlight one every once in a while (with a modicum of humor mixed in). Go west, young man, to Westside Baptist Church in Gillette, […]
Are you feeling called to (the other) Des Moines?
Did you know that the SBC website has church job listings throughout the country? Some of those vacancies could use a little extra advertising, so I’ve taken it upon myself to highlight one every once in a while (with a little humor mixed in). The First Baptist Church of Des Moines is looking for their […]
Are you feeling called to Texas
Alas, I had prepared this vacancy announcement in advance, but when it came time to post it, I saw on the church’s Facebook page that they had just called someone to serve as pastor. Rather than let my work go to waste, consider this a “what could have been” if you had applied sooner. Did […]
Are you feeling the call to Hawaii?
Did you know that the SBC website has church job listings throughout the country? Some of those vacancies could use a little extra advertising, so I’ve taken it upon myself to highlight one every once in a while (with a little humor mixed in). The last vacancy announcement was located in a sportsman’s paradise. This […]
Are you feeling the call to Alaska?
Now that I’m a seminary grad, I’m on the hunt for a lead pastor position. I want to be open to anywhere if God so leads, but absent some clear direction otherwise, I am maintaining my search focus on the midwest. That means there are hundreds of pastoral search committees around the country that won’t […]
The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume II
About this time last year I published a review of The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume I. Courtesy of Broadman and Holman Publishers, this year I’m able to bring you review of Volume II. Charles Haddon Spurgeon was one of the most influential preachers of the 19th century. At a time before automobiles, […]
The Reader’s Bibles are here!
A few years ago a Kickstarter project raised over a million dollars to produce a high-quality, multi-volume Bible without chapter or verse numbers. The idea was to create a distraction-free reading experience. I was taken in and ponied up $25 for the volume on the New Testament. Then I waited. And waited. And Crossway was […]
A Greek guide for the book of Luke and a FREEBIE too!
How’s your Greek? I’ve got a book review as well as a freebie that might peak your interest. Christmas will be here before you know it, and taking the effort to work through the Greek text of the birth narratives in Matthew and Luke might help kickstart a habit that will bless you and your […]
