Intermission

I realize it has been over two weeks since I posted – life is getting very busy for us. I want to let you know about some things going on with Shelby and me.

The most significant thing is that we are planting a new church in West Chester. It is a co-pastorate and my primary role will be preaching. The other pastor is Rick Jones, a gifted teacher and close friend. How we came to this point is a long story, but we are very excited about what the future holds. Our two families have been on very similar journeys the last few years and the Lord has burdened us separately, and now together, that the state of preaching in the evangelical church has deteriorated to the point that the body is in danger. We have been moved to plant a church committed to the verse-by-verse exposition of Truth.

What this means for me is another significant time commitment. In addition to loving my family, working, going to seminary, and home-schooling the kids, I will now be trying to scrape together another 15-20 hours a week to prepare to preach. Priorities have necessarily shifted and I’m afraid that blogging will fall close to the bottom. I will do my best to post here, but if something has to give, this is what it will be. However, Rick and I are considering doing a blog together as part of our pastoral care for the new flock. This will be much easier to maintain since two keyboards are better than one! It will most likely be a combination of the styles of the blogs both of us are currently writing. (You can see Rick’s here.) That is, there will be expositional content, as well as insight into issues in the culture, the media, threats to the body, and evangelicalism at-large.

Additionally, the Spring semester is now underway and it looks to be my most challenging, yet. I would greatly appreciate your prayers.

With all that said, I will do what I can, when I can, but at this point I don’t know with what frequency I’ll be able to post. I’d recommend subscribing to this blog by email or RSS feed (the links over on the right side of the screen). That way whenever I do post, you'll get it automatically without having to check this site all the time.

Thanks for reading. In the meantime, drink deep.
