The Caveman Health Plan
The Caveman Health Plan. Actually, there’s some wise, helpful insights here.
The Right Place for Your Gifts
“The incompetency we see everywhere is not because people lack gifts, but because they are not in the right place for their gifts. They are not being stewards of what God has given them. There are plenty of gifts to do all the work that needs to be done everywhere and to do all of it gloriously well–so well in fact, that people would go rejoicing from day to day over how much was accomplished and how well it was accomplished. But the world’s systems, corrupted by the sin of man, place enormous obstacles in the way of each person who attempts to find his rightful place in creation.”

The Shema, Falling in Love Forever
Hoping my wife wouldn’t go into labor while preaching, this Sunday I had the joy of preaching the crown jewel text of Deuteronomy, the Shema.

Facebook One-Month Trial Results
My one-month Facebook trial is up. I’ve decided…
that I’m sticking with it.
Why?
Facebook has been fun and it hasn’t sucked up too much time.
I’m probably on Facebook an average of 30-40 minutes per week.
What I’ve especially enjoyed about Facebook:
1) reconnecting with old friends from the 4 other places I’ve lived (Sacramento, Spokane, Santa Barbara, and Saratoga)
2) status updates
3) how Facebook can actually be used to enhance in-person contact with people
Once I get some spare time/sometime after this 2nd Buzzard baby is born (any day now) I’m looking forward to taking a tour of the Facebook campus in Palo Alto from my friend AnneMarie. I’ve heard good things. I think it’s going to be a toss up between Facebook and Google for the most colorful Bay Area work environments.
10 Commandments Sermon
Mark Mitchell preached an excellent, gospel-saturated sermon this last Sunday on the Ten Commandments. Give it a listen.
20 Books To Read In Your 20s
I’m putting together a list for the twentysomethings of my church: 20 Books to Read in Your 20s. I’d love to factor your input into this list. What are some of the books you’d put on this list? Feel free to mention one book, several books, or twenty books.
Preaching Check-up
Rookie preachers, could you use some fresh preaching education, specifically–counsel on how to go about preaching the Bible in a gospel-centered fashion in our postmodern world?
Veteran preachers, would you benefit from a preaching check-up, from taking stock of your preaching by listening to a five-star course on preaching?
If so, I’d encourage you to load onto your iPod this excellent, free course from RTS on iTunes U: Tim Keller and Edmund Clowney, Preaching Christ in a Postmodern World.
I’m 3 sessions into the course. It’s rich stuff.
