I'm a sucker for book giveaways...

I'm not ashamed to admit it: I love books. And I love free books best of all. And the fine folks at SBC Voices are giving away some books. Not just any books, mind you. These are high quality books, printed on sturdy paper with solid binding.

The books in question are:

Calvin's Institutes
Sailhamer's The Meaning of the Pentateuch
Marshall & Payne's The Trellis and the Vine

If you went to Brethren High School like I did, you'll want to check out some literacy courses, then go enter this contest. Otherwise, just go enter: http://sbcvoices.com/kicking-off-2010-right-100-book-giveaway/#comment-7469

Finally caught up on sermon uploads...

Finally got the sermon from last Sunday uploaded. It's about putting God first in 2010. It's available for your dining and dancing pleasure at the church blog.

Sermon notes are there also. I know, I am almost too generous...

Nothing better than self-promotion...

I know that for many of you, there's been one thing missing from 2010 so far: a sermon from me.

Well, now that has all changed. The audio of my December 20 sermon, "3 Things Christmas Reveals about God, " is up at the church website. Click here to get to it.

And yes, I know that Christmas was almost 2 weeks ago. I've been busy...

What are you reading?

Getting ready for the new year by getting a reading list together. Any suggestions about what should be on mine?

Mobile post test...

Just testing to see if I can blog by phone...

Hello???

Is this thing still on? It's been awfully quiet in here lately. Might have to put up some new mediocre material in here, just to keep things going. More soon...
