Together for Adoption
Our friends in Greenville have drawn my attention to the “Together for Adoption” Conference (November 1, 2008) at which our own Rick Phillips will be speaking. Other speakers include Dan Cruver, Russell Moore, Carl Robbins, Maridel Sandberg and Tullian Tchividjian.…

Here a Prodigal, There a Prodigal
Speaking of prodigality, I’m off to hear Brian McLaren tonight. (Okay, you have to admit that’s funny.) I’ve never heard McLaren, never seen him in person. Two Fridays back I heard Phil Ryken speak–for the record, not a prodigal.) Last Friday I…
