THE BEARDS OF MINISTRY: A FIELD GUIDE FOR PASTORAL FACIAL HAIR 

What makes this Washington Post article hilarious is that it’s spot-on true.  I loved this description under “Neo-Reformed”:  “Scented like dark beer and sweet pipe tobacco.”  Enjoy…

“THE KEY TO PRAYER IS SIMPLY PRAYING” (A.W. Tozer)

QUOTE(s) of the WEEK

Former atheist, Lee Strobel, writes at the end of his investigation in The Case For Christ: “I’ll admit it:I was ambushed by the amount and quality of the evidence that Jesus is the unique Son of God… I shook my head in amazement. I had seen defendants carted off to the death chamber on much less convincing proof! The cumulative facts and data pointed unmistakably towards a conclusion that I wasn’t entirely comfortable in reaching.”

“They say of some temporal suffering, ‘No future bliss can make up for it,’ not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.” – C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce. Paul wrote, “For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the coming glory that will be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18)

“In the name of the strong love [of Christ], all the evils, all the injustices, and all the pains of the present world must now be addressed with the news that healing, justice, and love have won the day! That’s why we pray: ‘Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven.’ Easter Day was the first great answer to that prayer.” – Theologian, N.T. Wright
