God Made Me This Way— Philip Jensen draws some connections that I have never noticed on the nature vs. nurture debate.
The Kindness that Will Kill Your Church— But kindness and love are not the same thing, and whenever we separate kindness from love, we unleash a vice that masquerades as a virtue. Kindness apart from love devolves into mere “niceness,” and too often, niceties are employed to hide the disease of lovelessness.
How to Preach Every Sunday Without Dying— Do not have your hardest or most draining day be the one before you preach. I take Saturdays off to be with family, and I try and go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep.
Imagination, Church Reform, and the Art of the Impossible— I mean that it’s all too easy to limit what we think is right to what we think is possible. Often, if a pastor can’t see how he can lead his people somewhere right now, he may not be inclined to consider whether God in fact points him there in his Word.
