Tuesday, July 31st, 2007INTRODUCTION The Biblical doctrine of hell is not a popular subject in our postmodern world. The notion of it offends popular sensibilities. Even Christians get a bit uneasy with the subject. And yet, Jesus preached on it often. John, in Revelation didn’t shy away from it. We’ve seen the stereotypes of preachers (typically sweaty Southerners) [...]
Free Book Again
Monday, July 30th, 2007I don’t hop on every one of these free book give aways, only the ones that I’m interested in. Yea, I’m a bibliophile but I do have my limits! :) This week’s is one of the books I was looking at for teaching evangelism, Questioning Evangelism. Should be an interesting read and so I’m throwing [...]
Insiders Share
Saturday, July 28th, 2007“But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.” – Luke 9:27 I’ve been stuck on Luke 9 for a while. I understand the events but I was first, having a hard time deriving the discipleship issues from it and second, profoundly [...]
More Manly Men
Saturday, July 28th, 2007It is man’s business to pray; and it takes manly men to do it. It is godly business to pray and it takes godly men to do it. And it is godly men who give over themselves entirely to prayer. Prayer is far-reaching in its influence and in its gracious effects. It is intense and [...]
Friday Photo
Saturday, July 28th, 2007Okay, this “Friday photo” thing is turning out to be more difficult than I thought! Or is it just that July was insane? Yea, July. Anyway, this is a bridge at Sun Lake Forrest Perserve. The stream it crosses is pretty unimpressive but this bridge looked nice.
Friday Photo
Friday, July 20th, 2007No fresh photo since my camera was out of town this week. This is an oldie. “The little boy in the picture is now in collage” old. But I really love it. I think my mom took this at the park near where we used to live in Southern California.
Hidden Hope
Friday, July 20th, 2007I got the most recent copy of Christianity Today yesterday and when I read the cover I set it aside with a heavy heart. The lead story is the spread of the health and wealth gospel in Africa. Great. We’re exporting our worst, greediest theology to the poorest continent. I couldn’t even consider looking inside. [...]
Pastor’s Book Shelf
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007This time they’re giving away a book by Wayne Grudem that I am very interested in. It is on Evangelical Feminism. Hope I win! :)
Friday Photo
Saturday, July 14th, 2007Oops! Forgot the Friday Photo. Sorry, I was out of town. This week I organized my book shelf. Too many stacks of books in front of books. So I pulled them down shelf at a time and put them back up in order. Did some dusting too. My cat Mojave, of course, had to check [...]
Reformed Baptist Hermeneutics III: Our Confession
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007One of the defining principles of being a Reformed Baptist is that we have a confession of faith that is in the theological stream of the Reformers.1 Therefore, I would be remiss if I ignored the Confession in this discussion so I’m going spend some time in this post looking at the confession and highlighting [...]
