D. A. Carson: “When you ‘re busy hating everybody, and denouncing everybody, and seeking political solutions to everything, it’s very difficult to evangelize. Isn’t it?” This article helped me to better understand the Todd Akin situation. And here is what the congressman should have said. The best New Testament Dictionary is the Old Testament. I… Read More »
David Platt explains some of the dangers of the “sinner’s prayer.” “Son of Hamas” has announced plans for a movie based on the book. Fun with copyright traps. I’ve created a few of these in my projects. Here is a smorgasbord of Bible memorization methods (and one way to learn whole books).
I recommend this article on Evangelizing Children by Grace Community Church. This page provides perhaps the best rationale I’ve read for learning Greek. Many in church history have believed in the national salvation of ethnic Israel. This app eliminates time spent on hold by calling you when the representative is available. Now I’d like to… Read More »
I’ve developed a pattern of posting on July 13 and though today is a busy day, I thought I’d squeeze in a brief note so as to not bring things to an end prematurely. I fully expect that this will be the fifth and final time I memorialize our exodus from Israel and wandering in… Read More »
Count Robert de La Rochefoucauld was born on September 16 1923 and died May 8 2012. What happened in between makes for a fascinating obituary. If I had a lot of free time, I’d go get a free education. I agree with a lot of what this Catholic priest says is important in a seminary… Read More »
The Founding Fathers of America were not Christians and not Deists, says a TMC professor in his new book. Every school with a PhD program should discuss the (lack of a) job market with every applicant. Integrity is more important than revenue. I’ve never considered switching to Mac. But what will I do if I… Read More »
For one who works, studies, and plays at home, my life could be quite a mess without some rather careful borders that separate study time from work time from family time from blog time. The last of these falls into the evening hours, after the kids go to bed. As the kids get older, they… Read More »
Here’s a cool chart of Psalm 119. Nathan Busenitz lists five dangers of fallible prophecy. This is important. “How do incredibly wealthy superstar athletes blow their fortunes?” Mitt Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu are old friends. I wouldn’t have guessed. Somebody has analyzed email closings and graphed the most popular from natural to self-conscious, and from… Read More »
I’ve been away for a while and one of the things I accomplished was finishing the revised edition of the Pictorial Library of Bible Lands. If you look at my Twitter feed, you would have seen that I finished one year to the day that I passed my last comprehensive exam. (We won’t say anything… Read More »
While I am frequently reminded how many things I have to be thankful for, one thing I wish I had more of was “outdoor time.” I live most of my life in front of the monitor. This evening I happened to walk by the front door and see a strange light in the street. I… Read More »
