Spiritual Abuse, Part Two
Tim Challies concludes his two-part interview with me about spiritual abuse. In More on Spiritual Abuse, Tim and I explore the practical side of what to do if you are experiencing spiritual abuse.
Multi-Site Churches From the Devil!
Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile has a must-read post on multi-site churches. I respect Pastor Anyabwile and he outlines several important concepts to think about. Read his thoughts and ponder your own view in Multi-site Churches are From the Devil.
Christian Living
It’s rare that I include two posts from the same author, but these two are a must. Read another excellent post from Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile. This one is: Galatians, Gospel Indicatives, and Gospel Imperatives. It addresses how Paul tells us first who we are in Christ and all the benefits of our salvation in Christ, and then builds upon that by telling us how we should live as a result.
A Seminal and Landmark Book
Jonathan Holmes reviews Equipping Counselors for Your Church. Including the following:
“In this seminal and landmark work for the church, Equipping Counselors for Your Church, Dr. Bob Kellemen has given us a go-to manual for raising up a new generation of counselors while nurturing the ones currently in our care. Built and crafted from years of experience and based on the solid foundation of God’s Word to us, this book will be a vital, practical, useful manual for generations to come.”

Your Guide for Equipping Counselors
Brad Hambrick provides his review of Equipping Counselors for Your Church. Including the following:
“This book meets a real need in Biblical Counseling – helping churches cultivate a counseling ministry that is tailored to the needs of their particular congregation and community. Over the last several decades Biblical Counseling has produced a large number of excellent resources, but it has not always been clear what a church was supposed to do with those resources. If you want to begin to explore that possibility with your church, I cannot think of a better book to guide you in that process.”
