I give you… Harbor Freight Iron Man!

I don’t know what kind of digital sorcery this is, but Jiffy Lube just donned Derek Radney’s profile pic as an avatar and shared a blurry photo of me and my wife to try and give me $26 off my next oil change…

I don't like to talk about numbers, but sometimes that sells God short. When I arrived at Hickory Grove Presbyterian Church (PCA) 4 Novembers ago, we'd dwindled to ~40 people on a Sunday morning. Yesterday, we had 172. 13 were infants/toddlers. 10 were visiting to witness a 22-year-old's baptism. Over

"The strength of Presbyterian polity is its structure and clarity. When churches move beyond what the BCO prescribes, they introduce confusion and undermine the careful balance between office, title, function, and service. Faithfulness to our polity requires that we remain within

In a true democracy, the people always get the leaders they deserve.

Men, are you leaving your children to perish unattended while you watch porn and play video games? It may not be this tragically literal, but it's happening nonetheless. Quit acting like a child. Man up and be present. My heart aches for this family, and for every other

Zone 2 training works. Just 3 weeks ago, I averaged 11:50 for a 2.5 mile run at 132 bpm. Today, I managed to get that down to 10:40. 80% slow, 20% fast is the way to program. I’ve been set back ~6 months by tendonitis and an ITB injury, but so continues my quest for a sub-20 5K.

Me when I just realized that preaching on Luke 2:40-52 this Sunday means I get to talk about the ordo amoris.

Me consulting a commentary on Luke that insists on translating every instance of baptizo/baptisma as immerse/immersion.

Serious question: is chatting something you do "with" or "to" a person?

I think I saw something like this in a John Wick movie…

As the evangelical world prepares to put out their nativity scenes at home and in church, I offer you this pastoral letter I sent out last year explaining why you'll find no baby Jesus figurines at Hickory Grove Presbyterian Church (PCA) this Advent. hickorygrovepca.org/a-pastoral-let…

In a world full of Harts, dare to be a Nelson. Let the #pcaga tweeter understand.

Worship went long today on account of a new member admission, a baptism, a kids’ sermon, and a former RE returning to preach. Lasted about 1:45, followed by 45 minutes or so of our usual informal post-worship fellowship. When I got home, I received a text from a man who’d been

Looking at the overture list for the next #PCAGA, I'm catching this vibe out of Westminster Presbytery.
