These Two Paragraphs Have Nothing To Do With Each Other
Friday, March 14th, 2008What is destroying America? Well, that assumes that America is being destroyed to begin with. But assuming it is, what is destroying it? State Representative Sally Kern (R Oklahoma) has it figured out: the homosexual agenda. It is always nice when you can point to someone else as the problem with our country. Don’t take [...]
Sufficient Consequences?
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Benjamin Keach is a favorite Particular Baptist of mine. Here’s a good quote of his on infant baptism from the Institute for Reformed Baptist Studies: From Benjamin Keach: Gold Refin’d, or Baptism in its Primitive Purity (London: 1689), 69-70, 146 (orthography and punctuation modernized). What commission our brethren have got, who sprinkle children, I know [...]
Mugs hot
Monday, March 10th, 2008I don’t know why I like this but I do: I kind of think I’d like one! Thought it strikes me as being pretty geeky like checking weather.com to see what it is like outside instead of looking out the window. Maybe it is nostalgia. I was involved in the first flight of the B-2 [...]
Failed Safe
Monday, March 10th, 2008This weekend I picked up two films from the library that were related. The first one we watched was the classic The Day The Earth Stood Still. There’s a lot to say about the film but I’ll summarize. It was a powerful message in the middle of the Cold War that needed to be heard. [...]
Vision Care and Planting
Monday, March 10th, 2008Last night we had a congregational business meeting. It was the meeting I’ve been hoping to attend since I started attending. :) We talked about our plans to plant a church. About half of the elder board spoke and so did representatives from our denomination. I’m an advocate of church planting and for a while [...]
These Two Paragraphs Have Nothing To Do With Each Other
Friday, March 7th, 2008George W. Bush. That name, to many, brings to mind a war-monger and one of the worst presidents in recent history. I’m not a fan and voted against him last time, but very often mixed in the "bad" is at least some good. Jimmy Carter was a really nice guy but not much of a [...]
Benedict Heart Luther?
Thursday, March 6th, 2008According to a Times On Line article titled "That Martin Luther? He wasn’t so bad, says Pope." Pope Benedict is going to lift the charge of heresy from Luther’s shoulders. I’m sure Martin will be happy about that. So is this it? Does Rome and Protestantism kiss and make up? is the Reformation over? Eh, [...]
Such a deal!!
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008I received a check in the mail the other day for $3,900. It is a real check, not one of those “certificates” that look like a check and tell you what you “could” save or anything like that. This is a real check and it isn’t a tax refund. It is from Public Interest Research [...]
