Are You Easily Edified?
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find myself suffering from a sense of over-familiarity with God and the gospel. Reading my Bible doesn’t excite me. Listening to sermons becomes routine. Even worship feels common and mundane...

The Preciousness of Time
Our last post focused on the distinction between busyness and fruitfulness — drawing on the writings of C.J. Mahaney. Today we’d like to expand on the topic of time-management — this time drawing on the writings of Jonathan Edwards...

The Abortion Debate is Changing
Though overshadowed by the recent murder of abortionist, Dr. George Tiller, the abortion debate does show signs of shifting in a pro-life direction. For the first time since Gallup began tracking the issue, a majority of Americans consider themselves “pro-life” — a reversal of 2006 numbers...

Oh yes, it's strange, but (so awesome) how recently it seems people have been leaning pro-life! There's still a battle to be won over it though.

Don’t Let Them Despise You
We posted about this message over a year ago when it was delivered and still highly recommend it to every rebelutionary. Seriously. If you haven’t listened to it yet you are missing out. To our knowledge, there is no better message on 1 Timothy 4:12...

There is a part of me that is dazzled by talent. At times certain artists, certain writers, certain athletes, or certain craftsmen can just take my breath away. This little girl had that affect on me, though I must admit to being heavily influenced by the cuteness factor...

I read Do Hard Things for the first time one year ago. I thought, This is great! This is what was missing in my life! This will give me the passion and purpose I want! Life is going to be different from now on. But what I thought was wrong. It did not give me the kind of life that I longed for...

The call to “do hard things” is a call to be different. That is why we are so excited about a great new book by our friend, Tullian Tchividjian (pronounced cha-vih-jin), called “Unfashionable: Making a Difference in the World by Being Different.” This is a perfect book for rebelutionaries...
