DeVine on the Emerging Church and Southern Baptists
Posted by: | CommentsDr. Mark DeVine, one of my great friends and my professor at Midwestern, has posted an article he’s publishing soon in the Missouri Pathway.
Dr. DeVine is one of the leading voices in this conversation or debate (choose your word, but it’s a matter of perspective I think). He’s being asked to speak on the subject because, I believe, he’s taken a close, balanced, and discerning look at the whole topic.
I always appreciate and admire his perspective on things and am simply glad for having known him while I was at Midwestern.
If you haven’t subscribed to his site feed, do so here … and then post a comment on his site encouraging him to continue his good work.
Tim Challies’ New Book: The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment
Posted by: | CommentsTim Challies has a new book titled The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment coming out, and it comes with recommendations from some heavy-hitters, including one of my former professors Dr. Donald Whitney. Wow.
Here’s a description from his site:
“Spiritual discernment is good for more than just making monumental decisions according to God’s will. It is an essential, day-to-day activity that allows thoughtful Christians to separate the truth of God from error and to distinguish right from wrong in all kinds of settings and situations. It is also a skill—something that any person can develop and improve, especially with the guidance in this book.”
