• Soft, Effeminate Christianity Effeminate Christianity comes about when Christians are too afraid to fight for what is right and to protest against what is wrong. Tim Challies Dec 12, 2011 comments
• Thinking Wrongly About Money I've found that there are many ways that we think about money that owe more to the world than to the Bible. Let me share 4 of them. Tim Challies Dec 09, 2011 comments
• Men, Women & the Public Reading of Scripture Here's why I believe the Lord would have the public reading of Scripture in worship services be led by men. Tim Challies Dec 05, 2011 comments
• The Public Reading of Scripture Here are some of the things we seek to teach the men who participate in this minstry at our church. I’m hoping this may serve you as you consider reading Scripture in a public setting. It assumes that the person reading Scripture has some time to prepare himself! Tim Challies Nov 30, 2011 comments
• The Church's Immune System The church needs Christians who can protect her from the constant false gospels that rise up against her. Tim Challies Nov 21, 2011 comments
• The Crushing Weight of Glory If the Apostle Paul suffered greatly and found joy, those of us who suffer lightly in comparison should be able to find the same joy. Tim Challies Nov 18, 2011 comments
• Steve Jobs I learned that Steve Jobs’ last words were, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” What I wouldn’t give to know what it was that he understood or perceived in those last moments... Tim Challies Nov 03, 2011 comments
• My Halloween Theory It has been fascinating to witness the rise of Halloween in recent years. I’ve developed a theory. It may seem a little far-fetched, but hear me out and let me know what you think. Tim Challies Oct 24, 2011 comments
• At Jacob's Well That’s a place and a context I had not thought about too much until I read Richard Phillips’ book Jesus the Evangelist. Based on a series of expositional sermons, this book teaches the principles and practice of witnessing by looking at the model of Jesus in the first four chapters of John.

• The Foundation of Mortification Don’t run away from this blog post just because I’m quoting a Puritan. Yes, Puritans are scary with all their big words and frilly collars, but some of them had remarkable insights into God’s Word and into human hearts. Read on to see an example of that.

• The Speaking Circuit I can understand why and how people could give up leading the local church in favor of the speaking circuit. I began to think about this as Rob Bell announced his resignation from Mars Hill just as I set out for 6 days of speaking engagements at a conference, a college and a church.

• More on Spiritual Abuse How do we respond to spiritual abuse internally—in our own hearts, and how do we respond to spiritual abuse “externally”—in our relationship to the person hurting us? Tim Challies Sep 27, 2011 comments
