Tim Challies wrote a great piece about seeing God in the BBC/Discovery series Planet Earth. If he had not written it so well I might need to take a stab at writing about this subject.
If you have not seen Planet Earth, you need to see it. It is an amazing series probably the best nature [...]
On March 2nd Mark Driscoll preached the last sermon in his Ask Anything series.
After listening to the sermon and reading the blog post found here, I decided to send the church a message, via their Mission and Vision blog. I’ve posted the whole message below. If you’ve listen to or read the post on [...]
