Just some brief updates. First, check out our church's new website:

Pretty cool, huh? Also, be sure to check out the new ClearNote Fellowship blog and the corresponding Ladies' blog, where Amanda and I will both soon become regular contributors.

December/January Books

December:


Heaven Misplaced - Doug Wilson (for fun)

A fun and challenging take on eschatology. Not buying every bit of it, but it's a worthy read.


Desiring God - John Piper (for D-Group)

A modern classic on practical Christian living. This must be the billionth time I've read it.


2000 Years of Christ's Power, Vol. 2: The Middle Ages - N.R. Needham (for class)

Good, accessible.


Handbook of Church Discipline - Jay Adams (for class)

Very helpful.


The Unsearchable Riches of Christ - Martyn Lloyd-Jones (for sermon prep)

Beautiful, rich.


January:


A Study in Scarlet - Arthur Conan Doyle (for fun)

Doyle's first Holmes novel. Mine, too. Thoroughly enjoyed it.


The Sign of Four - Arthur Conan Doyle (for fun)

Pretty good.


Mortification of Sin - John Owen (for class)

Unbelievable. Unparalleled. No one deals with the heart like Owen. No one. Read this book once a year—at the least.


Of Temptation - John Owen (for class)

Excellent. Another must-read. In fact, read the entire volume Crossway published called "Sin & Temptation." You won't regret it.


Christian Unity - Martyn Lloyd-Jones (for sermon prep)

Very good. Lloyd-Jones has been invaluable to me in helping me rapidly process and get to the heart of Ephesians.
