So, my church website now has a handy discussion forum. We’re using it for communication purposes for everything ranging from events planning and evaluation to what we’re talking about in our Friday Night Bible Study, which is specifically what I’d like to interest you in with this post. (more…)
In recent weeks I’ve experienced a dramatic shift in the tides of a certain spiritual battle within my flesh. Temptation to this one particular sin in my life comes in transient waves dependent upon various circumstances within and without myself, but the decision to dive headlong into an approaching crest is entirely my own and without excuse.

I’d be remiss in not introducing a new blog of an old friend. I met Katherine Cooper my freshman year of college down in Greenville through a mutual acquaintance. Even though we both lost contact with our mutual acquaintance, she and I became great friends! She is a literary connoisseur, an inspiring teacher, and a thought-provoking spiritual sister and friend. Get to know her here at Sola Cristus, or click on the link at my sidebar.
