If you missed (as I did) most of the hubbub about the medical ethicists who made a case for “after-birth abortion,” you might find this article helpful. Does driving a shiny expensive car entitle you to cut off cars and ignore pedestrians? Apparently their drivers think so. The Chronicles of Narnia, all 7 books, are… Read More »
After once telling us in chapel to mail our NIVs back to the publisher, John MacArthur has agreed to an NIV version of the MacArthur Study Bible. It’s absolutely not about the millions of dollars to be made, but it’s about having study notes to help those reading an inferior translation. Sigh :-). But maybe… Read More »
Most of our family cheers for the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers (see photos here). Gunner isn’t a fan, but he sees wisdom in an interview with the quarterback who led his team to 19 straight victories. At the risk of being made fun of, I must say that I was impressed with this… Read More »
I didn’t mean to abandon this blog. I guess it’s just been a variety of things. The main thing is the revision of my photo project as well as a secondary photo project. It’s the quantity that’s killing me. I am “tweeting” more, so you can subscribe to that if you know how. (I put… Read More »
I would recommend the 180 movie to you. I can’t say that I “learned” anything, but it was thought-provoking in a variety of ways. The ESV has quietly made changes to more than 275 verses in the text. That’s a good start. I am a fan of the traditional model of education and not much… Read More »
When the longtime senior pastor of a large Baptist church around the corner from our house committed suicide last week, I was wishing I had a classroom. I more than doubled my knowledge about the ampersand from this visual guide. My friend Austen really likes the book Son of Hamas. Randy Alcorn’s booklet on Sexual… Read More »
Daniel Pipes: I predict that in 5-10 years the American effort in Iraq (and, similarly, in Afghanistan), with all those expenditures and lives lost, will have been for naught. What will punctuation look like in the future? The WSJ tries to predict. It’s too bad we ‘ll never see a TV interview about homosexuality go… Read More »
Gilad Shalit was delivered today from five years of captivity. He was a prisoner who did not see the sunlight for 1,941 days. Though I’m not in Israel and I have not lived in Israel for four years now, I feel a great relief and joy at Gilad’s homecoming. I imagine that it must be… Read More »
Parenting by Prayer – the thesis of this brief post is that you should talk less and pray more. I thought it was helpful to get a little insight into how movies are rated. But I can’t say I’m encouraged. The Mayo Clinic has seven tips for better sleep. I enjoyed reading John Piper’s Think.… Read More »
Evangelism according to the Gospel, Part 1 – this is one of the best things I have read on evangelism. It was written by a guy I went to seminary with. It’s not just changing the name of the denomination from Southern Baptist, but it’s how they go about it that makes me sad. This… Read More »
