Almost everywhere you look, you can see evidence of regentrifying as a younger generation rediscovers downtown Birmingham.

Here are the last questions from the Q&A at Living Waters last Friday:16) Is there an exact time appointed for us to die that only God knows? Does that mean that no matter what the circumstances around us, nothing can be done to change it?The questioner then added (wisely, I think) two words, “Time’s up.” The answer across the…

On Wednesday night at Living Waters, I was preaching on “How to Tame Lions” from Daniel 6. I began the sermon by pointing that when his opponents tried to trap him, Daniel didn’t change anything he was doing. And when they talked King Darius into passing a law that for 30 days all prayer must be made to the king, Daniel didn&rsquo…

I have just wrapped up my second full day at Living Waters Bible Camp in Danforth, Maine. The name is well-chosen because the camp is located on the shores of a lake that defines the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. On this side, you are in the U.S. On the other side, Canada. This morning when I asked how many Canadians were at the confere…
