Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.
One angle I’m sure many believers and unbelievers alike are turning over in their minds is the question, "Where is God in all of this?"Maybe you find yourself asking, "If God is all powerful, why doesn’t he stop this?" Maybe you’re asking, "Why would a loving God allow so many people to die?" Maybe you just wonder, "Is God even real?"
I’ve had the privilege of reviewing multiple editions of Crossway’s Creeds and Confessions Bible. I’ve reviewed it in black Goatskin as well as the Westminster Books exclusive hardcover. Today, I get to review it in black TruTone. When I initially saw people posting pictures of this Bible, I was blown away by what I saw. I didn’t believe it could be a TruTone. It looked like leather. There were spine ribs on the back. I remembered this old, pocket-sized TruTone I had a long time ago and it got beat up fairly quickly. I had other TruTones in the past and none of them looked like this. I knew I had to check it out.
The ESV Heirloom Legacy from Crossway is one of my favorite ESV Bibles. The design is beautiful and really allows you to immerse yourself in the text. It is also one of the few Crossway Bibles that you can still get your hands on that was printed in the Netherlands. In the next couple of months, the new Heirloom Legacy that’s being printed in China will be released and this one will become unavailable. So if this Bible peaks your interest, act quickly.
During our uncertain times, I am trying to think through helpful content that will encourage you and focus your eyes on Christ. Yesterday, I recorded a short video talking about praying the Bible and how it has impacted my prayer life and how I think it will impact yours.
It is sad to say, but we Christians all too often neglect the Word of God. We in the west live in a fast-paced culture. We get too busy at times. We can tend to handle what is most urgent and neglect carving out time to practice those slow and steady spiritual disciplines that are vital for our health in the Christian life…
Two things jumped out at me when I first checked out Sutro’s boots. First of course, the look. Sutro creates several styles that I’d love to own or try out. I also love every color they offer. One of the most incredible things about their boots is that they come with this naturally aged look that most people dream of achieving when they buy a new pair of boots
Steven Furtick is an excellent communicator. He’s built a church empire with his “feel good” preaching, attractive worship, and excellent packaging. He even has a degree from my alma mater—The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. By most people’s standards, Furtick is a major success…
Many years ago the biggest surprise happened that could have ever happened. It sounds like a fairy tale, but it’s completely true. Our kids need to know the story and that’s why the newest book in the Tales that Tell the Truth series from the Good Book Company is an awesome one!
When we love someone, we learn about them. There's a desire to get to know that person. We want to know their likes and dislikes. We like to learn what makes them tick. That's what a real relationship is. It involves two people connecting. It isn't one sided; it is mutual…
It’s no secret that I’ve been raving about the new NASB Premier Collection from Zondervan. If you haven’t already, check out my review of the NASB Single Column Reference Bible (SCR). In this post, I’m reviewing the other Bible in the new Premier Collection, which I would call the perfect companion for the SCR. It’s also made in China and it’s an impressive Bible from Zondervan…
I’m not even sure where to start as I begin to write the review for this Bible. All I can really say is, “Wow!” I knew Zondervan and Thomas Nelson’s Premier Collections were progressively getting better, but the two new NASB’s that Zondervan has just released have blown me away. I would argue they are now directly competing with premium companies like Cambridge, Schuyler, and Allan. Not only are they competing, but they are offering their Bibles at a considerably lower cost. Let me say it again, “Wow!”
