Is there a subject more regularly pondered (in the matter of day-to-day living) by a Christian than the issue of how one knows God’s will? The only thing that rivals it’s regular place in the minds of believers is the amount of differing opinions amongst believers on how one discerns God’s will. In all honesty, [...]

Since I couldn’t attend the Together for the Gospel Conference I took my friend Steve‘s advice and purchased the MP3s of the main sessions and panel discussions. Those familiar with the conference will know that Dr. John Macarthur spoke during one of the main sessions on the subject of what he has learned in his [...]

Honestly, I hate typology. At least, typology that isn’t given interpretation to us by the writers of Scripture. Obviously, those ways in which God has given us preview of the wonder He will do in Christ are to be cherished. When I say “typology” I mean the typology so common in evangelical pulpits. I know [...]

So we made it safe and sound to Santa Rosa, FL. We got in late (3:00am ish) but slept in and had a nice day hanging out in the warmth. Tonight we’re going to eat with Christie’s friends from down here, which will be fun. Because of all this I’m not sure how much blogging [...]

Creationism dismissed as ‘a kind of paganism’ by Vatican’s astronomer Excerpt: Believing that God created the universe in six days is a form of superstitious paganism, the Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno claimed yesterday. Brother Consolmagno, who works in a Vatican observatory in Arizona and as curator of the Vatican meteorite collection in Italy, said a [...]

Lo and behold – there is more controversy between Ergun Caner and James White. You can follow the discussion here and here. As one who has great respect for the Reformed faith while still having some reservations about Calvinism this issue has been of great interest for me precisely because it involves such a passionate, [...]

I had to submit a paper topic to my Church History professor this week. I chose from the pre-approved list the subject of Huldrych Zwingli and the Swiss Reformation. I choose that topic precisely because I’ve read so little on the subject. And why is that? Here we have a first generation Reformer, a contemporary [...]
