Eric Cai’s Links: God’s Greatness on the Internet

Just as some links are for your spiritual edification; so also, some links are for, well, your personal enjoyment (not that edification and enjoyment are mutually exclusive things!). I will say at the outset that the following links are not organized according to a particular theme. In fact, they’re organized according to…what I normally skim […]

The San Antonio Metaphor for the Christian Life

The 2014 NBA Champions are… the San Antonio Spurs! Yes I’m pretty happy that the Spurs won the NBA Finals. After watching them lose last year in heartbreaking fashion, I couldn’t help but root for them in their quest for basketball redemption. And now, as I prepare to delete Game 5 from my DVR and […]

Tim’s Links: Distraction-Free Worship

Have you ever been embarrassed during a Sunday worship service? While singing loudly about the gospel have you ever made people turn around and ask you to be quiet? While raising your hand in praise have you ever had someone wave at you from across the room because they thought you were saying “hi”? While sitting with […]

Eric’s Links: Stories for the Soul

While traveling through seminary, I found that fiction was not often read by most of my fellow pastors-to-be. Understandably, all the lists of their favorite books are full of Christian living guides, Puritan classics, or theological tomes. Still, fiction holds a special place in my heart. And while I enjoy The Hunger Games and probably […]

Cross Words

In my desire to live a Gospel-centered life, I found myself reflecting on the Gospel each day. Earlier this year, I had been meditating on the reality of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and why it was necessary. One of the things that came out of this reflection was the idea of visually depicting specific […]

Garrett’s Links: Living Fully for Christ

On Sunday, we were blessed to sit under the teaching of Eufemio Magsombol Jr. as he preached through Mark 14:1–9. The main point he emphasized was that, when we truly recognize Christ’s worth, we will live fully for Him no matter the cost. This is a valuable truth to understand, and one that we would […]

Going Back to School!

The Member Musings section of our blog is written by church members in the hope of encouraging you to see all of life through the lens of the gospel. Today we hear from Jenn Chen as she goes back to school to study biblical counseling. In May 2014, I printed out my syllabi for two classes.  […]

Jee’s Links: Short and Sweet Blogs

I agree with Jesse Terasaki that books > blogs. But I do love to skim and sometimes even read thoroughly certain (by certain I mean one too many) blogs. And while I enjoy long books, I prefer short and sweet blog posts and have been known to skip long ones. So while we have the […]

Great Expectations

The Member Musings section of our blog is written by church members in the hope of encouraging you to see all of life through the lens of the gospel. As I write this, I’m sitting on the first leg of a long flight home from Reykjavik, Iceland, where I’ve just spent a week vacationing with my […]

Jesse’s Links: Do You Like to Read?

Blogs are good supplemental reading. They are usually current and keep you current on what’s going on in the world out there and the world of the church. And they are easier and faster to read than books. Books > blogs, in my opinion, but blogs are cool, too. This week’s links are four blogs […]
