Some Items Worthy of Note

Here are some worthwhile articles I have come across lately.

Tony Kummer asks, "What's So Great About Seminary?" - and gives some good answers. As I have completed one year of studies, it was an encouragement.

Tim Ashcraft commemorated Calvin's birthday yesterday with a quote on prayer.

Tim Adkins writes about "Our Chief Entangling Sin."

Mike Belcher on "An Unusual Wednesday Night" - a story of God's blessing on perseverance through an inconvenient difficulty.

Jeff Robinson highlights Don Whitney on Church Discipline - an act of love.
