On Being a Jar of Clay

2008-07-31T17:05:22Z

During my mini-workout this morning, I was listening to Sinclair Ferguson preaching on 2 Corinthians 4. The text, which I have read many times, particularly struck me today. The passage that most penetrated my heart was that of verses 7-12, whi...

The Essential Doctrine of God's Foreknowledge

2008-07-25T20:51:40Z

Just over a year ago, I took a class in Game Theory (for those who don’t know what that is, the guy who developed most of it is John Nash, the subject of A Beautiful Mind). In the class, one of the “games” we looked at was the interaction of a...

Jesus Christ: God's Amen

2008-06-25T04:10:06Z

I was reading through Revelation today (don't worry, I am not saving up any canned goods and I don't have a chart showing exactly when Jesus is coming back to take the elect back...), and I came to the message from God to the church of Laodicea. ...

On the Audacity of Calling Christ "Lord"

2008-01-07T05:49:17Z

This morning I was reading through Matthew 8, and I came to the familiar story of the faith of the centurion. Now, I am sure that men more capable than me could devote their life's work to this story, but I want to focus on one word in the entire...

Photo Frames

My Recommendations for the New Year

2008-01-01T07:25:47Z

As most of you who read this have hopefully figured out by now...I like reading. A lot. And I'm really nerdy about the whole thing. So I decided to compile a list of things I have read recently that I think everyone ought to read (because they ...
