He had asked me to review the material, and when I asked him why there was such a low emphasis on preaching, he said to me, “I don’t buy into this ‘preaching is everything’ mentality.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Home to the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival and revered as the infamous birthplace of garlic ice cream, Gilroy is the “Garlic Capital of the World.” Even with the windows rolled all the way up and your car’s vents strategically closed, you’d know you’ve arrived in Gilroy because the sweet smell of garlic wafts pervasively through the air.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  71. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;John Bunyan’s timeless book, &lt;em&gt;The Pilgrim’s Progress&lt;/em&gt;, recounts the story of a man named Christian on his way to the Celestial City. The journey is no easy feat. Along the way, Christian faces obstacles that threaten to keep him from his destination: the Valley of the Shadow of Death, the Hill Difficulty, Vanity Fair, and the Giant Despair who resides in Doubting Castle, to name a few. In fact, Christian’s path to the great city is full of hurdles until the very end. As he nears the Celestial City, he is required to cross a bridgeless river before being permitted entry. His journey is wearisome, but in the end worthwhile. Upon entering the city, Christian beholds wonders words can’t adequately depict. Streets paved with gold. Men walking around with crowns on their heads. Angels declaring the holiness of God. And a matchless King who rules over all. He was finally home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  89. &lt;p&gt;Hymns are a theological repository of the church. Through hymns we make a catechism for the generations. As time goes on, hymns come to contain the doctrines most well known and most closely cherished by the people of God. By setting the truth of God to music, the church of God is united not only in orthodoxy of belief, but in worship. The church has been summarizing biblical doctrine through song and passing it on from the very beginning.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  123. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Beauty will save the world,” wrote Dostoyevsky in his novel, &lt;em&gt;The Idiot&lt;/em&gt;. Over the years, many theologians have played with the statement, seeking to tease from it whatever truth they can find. Certainly, when viewed through a Christian lens, Dostoyevsky’s words commend themselves to us. They are not only provocative, but instructive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  124. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Often misconceived today, beauty was traditionally understood as a particular quality that portrayed something of a broader universal order. In antiquity, to label something as beautiful was to affirm, in some way, a manifestation of the divinely ordained form and content of the cosmos. Thus, a sunset is beautiful because in it we see a snapshot of a greater reality: it gives a glimpse of God’s handiwork, as displayed in greater proportions throughout the whole universe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

In antiquity, to label something as beautiful was to affirm, in some way, a manifestation of the divinely ordained form and content of the cosmos. Thus, a sunset is beautiful because in it we see a snapshot of a greater reality: it gives a glimpse of God’s handiwork, as displayed in greater proportions throughout the whole universe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  143. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;It’s the impassioned plea of every pastor: “I just want my people to be like the noble Bereans.” We read the description of those noble believers in Acts 17:11, and we beseech the Lord to give us a congregation full of people who receive our messages with eagerness and search the Scriptures to make sure it’s true. It is a worthy prayer, to be sure. Still, in this post, I’d like to challenge you to accompany that prayer with taking faithful steps to cultivate a noble Berean mindset in your congregation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
