Here are a few links to some things you might have missed, or at least ones that caught my attention this past week:

1. The Pastor Must Fall On His Sword Before He Wields It

This is absolutely so – that a pastor must feel the Word before delivering the Word. We must, as teachers, not merely deliver content but be changed by it ourselves.

2. The Lifelong Pursuits of a Godly Man

Pay attention, guys. This is a great exposition of 1 Corinthians 9, and also a great beginning to a series of articles from Tim.

3. What If I Can’t Find the Perfect Church?

Short answer? You won’t. But that’s not an excuse for abandonment.

4. The Nightmare Driving the American Dream

The author here points out the insecurity and fear in very specific ways that drives so much of our ambition and greed.

5. The Legacy of Faith Library

This is a beautiful set of Christian classics that you’ll want to check out.
