What Would You Say?

By | September 19, 2007

This guy is amazing. It doesn’t matter what the subject is, whenever he’s on national TV, he somehow manages to present the gospel in clear terms.  And they don’t cut him off.  Even if the question was about yoga!

Kingdom of Priests update

By | September 7, 2007

I’ve told you about this already (here and here), but now you can see the cover shot.  Eisenbrauns is listing the second edition of Kingdom of Priests as due out in March 2008, at a price of $26.  I should come up with some kind of contest with this as the prize.  In fact, I could even get… Read More »

My Dream Machine

By | September 5, 2007

When I was a kid, I had an “invention.”  This was not like the previous invention mentioned recently on this blog.  No, this was an awesome invention.  I dreamed about it, but I’m not sure if I was awake or asleep.  But I can say that it was and still is to this very moment… Read More »

If I can’t give you something good, I can give you something free.  Actually, I’m giving you nothing, but I did find some good things that are free. John Piper’s God is the Gospel is available for free in pdf format.  I bought the book already, but Piper writes faster than I can read and… Read More »

TMC Chapel Messages

By | January 5, 2007

This blog is apparently read by more than my wife, the dog and the two students who actually liked my classes.  A positive result is that I got an email from The Master’s College library with this good news: many TMC chapel messages are already online, downloadable, for free, in mp3 format.

Book Review: Going Places With God

By | December 28, 2006

The problem with studying the geography of Israel is that it can quickly become divorced from the life-changing truths of Scripture. After all, how do hills and valleys help you grow closer to God? Wayne Stiles has the answer to that in his new book, Going Places With God: A Devotional Journey Through the Lands… Read More »
