Here's an outline of a great video we saw about dating. It answers the question: How does a Christian date righteously; and what are the physical, emotional, and mentally connecting boundaries a Christian must set while developing an intimate relationship prior to marriage?

The Problem of Evil
There is a great post over at Tim Challies blog about a talk John MacArthur gave at a conference on the ever difficult issue of why a good God allows evil to exist. Check it out at

How Great is our God!
Wow - Sunday Night 24 of us headed over to the Meadowlands to catch Chris, Matt and Louie and over 8000 worshipers lifting high the name of Jesus for the "How Great is our God tour." I have to say, these guys really know how and demonstrate how to get Vertical with God. None of them were the star of the show - the only rightful star was the Lord Jesus Christ!
Chris and the band started leading, and the sound of the people in the seats singing was amazing. Chris even commented at the end how "he's been chasing these songs around and he's totally amazed at how God has just caused the church everywhere to pick them up and make them their own to sing God's praises." (something like that!) Between songs, Matt steped up to lead with the same band, and it was seamless - they went back and forth a few times. No hoopla - just humble worship of an incredible God!
Louie has a gift in how he can help us attempt to grasp the hugeness of God. He spoke from his heart using only his Bible, and communicated how God's signature is all over the universe, from the black hole in the center of the largest star to the molecular glues that holds us together. His signature is the cross of Jesus. Colossians 1 states: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. As happened to me when I was at the Facedown conference 3 years ago, it happened again - I was "resized." We are just like tiny specks on the face of a "golf-ball-sized" earth in the infinite universe created by an all-powerful God. Yet, even though we are small, God loves us and attends to our cry, in a loose way similar to how a parent attends to their children.
God is incredible, and we spent an incredible night declaring his praises. Thanks to the Lord and to this team that He has sent across the country who are humble servants of an Awesome God! For those who missed this night, I pray you can catch a vision of God as he truly is and just "bow down and worship Him."

I took an online quiz that was interesting
You scored as Reformed Evangelical. You are a Reformed Evangelical. You take the Bible very seriously because it is God's Word. You most likely hold to TULIP and are sceptical about the possibilities of universal atonement or resistible grace. The most important thing the Church can do is make sure people hear how they can go to heaven when they die.
