“The George Floyd Trial and the Longing for Justice”– Russell Moore
“A jury in Minneapolis handed down the verdict the entire country has awaited for almost a year: that police officer Derek Chauvin is guilty of the murder of George Floyd.

This also is a day for all of us who belong to Jesus Christ to reflect on the meaning of it all.”

“The Amazing Life of Richard Allen”– The Gospel Coalition
“What if I told you there was a man during the American Revolutionary era who was born into slavery, trusted in Christ as a teenager, converted his master, purchased his freedom, rode the circuit as a preacher with famous Methodist preacher Francis Asbury, served as a chimney sweep (perhaps even for George Washington!), survived yellow fever, walked out of his church in protest of segregation, founded the black church, and then bought back his own church building years later? That man is Richard Allen.”
“Ray Ortlund on Renewal for Tired Pastors”– The Gospel Coalition

“The Need for Illustrations in Preaching”– Ligonier Ministries

“An Honest and Raw Conversation with Francis Chan”– Preston Sprinkle
“In this conversation, we talk about his remarkable encounter with Benny Hinn, his recent thoughts on church unity, how he’s revisited his beliefs about the Eucharist, and we reflect on the pros and cons of being educated at The Master’s College (now University) and Seminary. Francis Chan is a pastor, writer, speaker, missionary, and evangelist. Most of all–he’s a Christian who loves to spend time with. Francis has written many books, including Crazy Love, Erasing Hell, and the recently released Until Unity.”
