Tomorrow I fly to Israel to teach a three-week seminary program. I’ve prepared a couple of posts that will go up later this week, but I don’t expect to have much time to post much else of substance while I’m traveling. If you forget and check in here and see nothing new, perhaps that will… Read More »
It’s snowing and I’m grilling. Does that lower anyone’s estimate of me? Yesterday, when we planned this, it was 80. Our children, November 2009
The website of Jerusalem Assembly is significantly improved since I last visited. Among other things, it now includes a video of the new ministry center (yes, they finally bought a building!) and videos of Bookman’s course on the Passion Week. I think I need to read The Natural Superiority of Mules in order to understand… Read More »
Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV) “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who _______________ will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” If you can’t fill in the blank, look it up. In… Read More »
Tim Tam Slam – if you don’t know what this is, you ought to give it a try. It is especially fun in a family setting. Buy some Tim Tams and bring them to the party this Christmas. Proofreading is important. I saw a brand new book today in an expensive set that I’ve mentioned… Read More »

This brings to mind yet again my frustration at having to… Read More »

For the last twelve weeks, I have taught through Isaiah 1-12 in Sunday School. It has been wonderful. Tomorrow I will summarize this section, and next week I will explain how Matthew understood Isaiah’s prophecies in 1-12 to be fulfilled in Jesus. I’ve discussed some of this previously on this blog, though my present study… Read More »
Challies gives his top 9 books of 2009. Though I haven’t read any of the books, my guess is that I would tend to agree with his choices. (Can I say that?) Andreas Kostenberger suggests his top 10 theological books of the year. This afternoon I bought his A Theology of John’s Gospel and Letters… Read More »
Here’s a question on last week’s math homework for our 2nd-grader: Mrs. Leary has chickens and dogs in her backyard. She counts 15 heads and 42 feet. How many dogs does Mrs. Leary have? How long would it take you to figure that out? Here’s the Book of Philippians in a new way. This group… Read More »
