QUOTE OF THE DAY

I believe that prayer is the measure of the man, spiritually, in a way that nothing else is, so that how we pray is as important a question as we can ever face.
J.I. Packer My Path of Prayer

HALL OF FAME

As a huge Detroit Piston Bad Boy fan (for real) I had a hard time reading The Sports Guy bashing Joe Dumars but I have to admit, he's probably right.

Leave it to The Sports Guy to fix the different sports Hall of Fame's.
This is good stuff.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until, at last, you come to talk in Scriptural language, and your spirit is flavored with the words of the Lord, so that your blood is Bibline and the very essence of the Bible flows from you.
Charles Spurgeon

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The nature of the Divine goodness is not only to open to those who knock, but also to cause them to knock and ask.
Augustine

MORE TONY KORNHEISER

FANTASY CHURCH

I am an admitted "roto-geek". What I mean by this is that I love to play fantasy sports. Basketball, baseball or football, it doesn't matter. I love them all and my friends make fun of me because it.

Challies.com has caught onto the fantasy crazy and created a new game; Fantasy Church. His rules as well as those posted by others are laugh out loud funny.

CHRISTIAN BUSINESSMEN

I, as well as a lot of people I have talked to, have often wondered if I am using my God given talents and abilities to the fullest working as an accountant for a secular business. I have wrestled with a sense of inferiority to my friends who work full time for a church or other Christian organization.

The past couple of days I have been able to read Business for the Glory of God: The Bible's Teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business by Wayne Grudem. I would highly recommend it to anyone who works in the business world. In it, Grudem discusses how your business and your life in business can be dedicated to God's glory.

Here is a commentary by Chuck Colson on the same topic that I found helpful.

Desiring God recently rolled out a new web site. My friend Justin Taylor summarizes the changes here.
