“É importante que nos sintamos bem sobre nós mesmos? É crucial para nosso sucesso ou bem-estar que tenhamos uma autoestima elevada? Se é importante que nos sintamos bem sobre nós mesmos, então você imaginaria que a Bíblia nos diz e nos encoraja a procurar a autoestima, e fazer disso nossa meditação e oração. Mas, em nenhum lugar, a Bíblia diz que devemos buscar nos sentirmos felizes com nós mesmos.”

Artigo: Waiting

“An unmet need, a perplexing circumstance, a hoped-for deliverance-where is God in the midst of all this, and why doesn’t he seem to answer? In times of waiting, we can find ourselves emotionally fragile, and if we’re not careful, our faith can also take a hit. That’s why it’s vital to see what Scripture says about waiting.”
Artigo: Don’t tweet that sermon!

“Electronic devices are quickly becoming the new norm in church. Almost three years ago I said Don’t Bring Your iPod to Church, but today that rebuke seems almost quaint. Just a few years later it is not at all unusual to see all kinds of iPods and iPhones and iPads and iEverythingElse being used in place of a printed Bible. That’s not necessarily a good or a bad thing; it’s just reality. As times goes on, printed Bibles will likely fade into history. But what about using that same device to do more than read the Bible? What about using it to take notes? And what about sending out Twitter or Facebook updates during the sermon?”

“I want to take a look at how Jeremiah responded to the suffering of Judah at the time of the Babylonian exile, in the hope that we can glean some principles or lessons on how we can righteously respond to suffering.”
