Hope… at a Football Game
December 23rd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in » God at Work, In the News..., Worth Reading
This is one of the most awesome sports stories I’ve ever read: “Outpouring of Faith” (chronicling this year’s Gainesville State / Grapevine Faith high school football matchup in Texas). God was clearly working in the middle of this game.
Check it out when you get a chance. It’s DEFINITELY worth the time to read.
Oh, and one other thing… you may need a kleenex.
Climate Revolt…
October 23rd, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in » In the News..., Worth Reading
Interesting article published earlier this week in Canada’s “National Post”. Apparently, some member states of the European Union are re-evaluating the Union’s CO2 reduction goals in light of the financial crisis.
Apparently, pocketbooks are more important that saving the planet. Climate alarmists will surely squeal.
Anyway, check out the article here.
HT: Tim Challies.
Commission Stories…
October 14th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in » God at Work, Worth Reading
Here’s a very powerful site for those of you interested in missions (that would be all of you believers, hopefully): commissionstories.com.
Today’s post is particularly powerful, recounting the story of Gabriel Mugmal, an Ecuadorian believer who faced death at the hands of his friends and neighbors for his faith in Christ.
Check it out when you get a chance. Trust me, it’s worth the time. God is at work amongst the Quicha people of Ecuador!

September 10th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in » Baptist Issues, Christian Living, Worth Reading
As many of you may know, I’m the webmaster for sbc IMPACT. How that’s relevant to this post?
Well… I started this “Family Focused Faith” series here at Toward the Goal a while back, but recently decided to continue this over at IMPACT, where I’m now serving a dual role as webmaster and contributor.
Anyway, I’m finally getting around to publishing part 3. Check it out when you get a chance.

A while back, I’d shared a post here regarding The Discipleship Void.
Today, I’ve republished it (slightly modified) over at sbc IMPACT. When you get a chance, check it out and share your thoughts on the issue.
Sandbox Devotions?
July 14th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in » Christian Living, Worth Reading
I don’t know about you, but I struggle quite a bit not only with doing my daily Bible devotions, but in getting real meaning from them.
And I know I’m not alone.
Check out Tim Challies’ thoughts on the subject, as he shares about shifting his devotions from “sandbox mode” to “campaign mode”. Good stuff, and it may just make a difference in your devotional life.
The Cross Isn’t Sexy…
March 7th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in » Worth Reading
I wish I could take credit for the post title, but I can’t.
You’ve simply got to check out Timmy Brister’s site, and read his post, “The Cross Isn’t Sexy: A Dying Man’s Confession”.
It’s an awesome account of an experience where he realized in a very real way how true it is that “the cross isn’t sexy”, but that its true meaning is offensive… pure foolishness to those who don’t believe.
