Dave's Exegesis is my eclectic site of exegesis on pretty much everything I can think of, whether biblical studies, theology, music, movies, culture, food, drink, sports, or the internet.
…but here are some shots from Kalila’s friend Rebecca’s wedding last Friday.
Before the crowd arrived.
My sweatheart front and center.

The lovely cake.
Still uneasy seeing another dude with my wife.
The happy couple. Lord bless their lives!
Y’all probably don’t have a clue who Art Azurdia is, but he is one of the best preachers I have ever heard. He filled in to speak at one of our winter conferences when I was at The Master’s College. God used him to pretty much bring a revival of sorts to our campus. He is the pastor of Christ Community Church in Fairfield, CA. He is little known by most, but has published a book entitled Spirit Empowered Preaching. Art is an extremely intelligent, well-spoken, warm, and fantastic preacher. Why am I bummed about him you say? I just found out that he accepted a faculty position at Western Seminary in Portland, OR and now his church is dissolving. Their last service will be December 4th. I’m sure this is a wonderful opportunity for him and that he will be a blessing to the faculty and students of Western Seminary. But that bums me out. He is doing the exact opposite of what I would expect him to do. Mind you, I’ve only had one or two conversations with him, but I have listened to many of his sermons and have friends that have sat under his ministry. Some of these friends have relocated just to be a part of the church. That last thing we need in this world is one of our best preachers going back to the seminary world. What a terrible thing. I could only dream for the ministry this guy has at his church. He is friends with big wigs like John Armstrong, D.A. Carson, Greg Beale, and Scott Hafemann. He is sought after for speaking engagements all over the country. Why can’t he just do adjunct work at the seminary? They already give him sabbatical time for writing. I don’t know, it just doesn’t make sense. At least his audio will be moving to www.spiritempoweredpreaching.com. If you get an opportunity, take a listen.
