    Is Seminary Relevant? The Pro Argument
    It was entirely coincidental that within about a week of each other, two seminarians would write blog posts on the relevancy of seminary education, one arguing in favor of it, the other against it. I contacted them soon after to see if they would be willing to submit their posts to the site so we could engage a wider audience on the issue, to which they agreed. First...

    Sermons: Illustrations and Analogies
    As far as I can remember, I never once heard a sports-related illustration in a sermon when I was growing up.

    Bible Software Review: Logos Gold
    Confession I have a confession to make. One year ago, I hated the concept of digital print media and swore I would never “cave-in” to the latest “trend” in books; i.e., Logos. My how times have changed! Over the course of this past year, I have come to see the upside and the stewardship that is Logos Bible Software. I have moved up from the...

    Ministry in a Dying Church
    About a month ago, I was sitting in my Tuesday evening class, and of the ten students in the class, there was one I didn’t recognize. During a break I went over to introduce myself and found out that this guy is a pastor in a small church in northern Switzerland and is here on sabbatical for a few months.  I’ve gotten to know him quite well over the past...
