Seminary for Free
Richard Pratt, formerly with Reformed Theological Seminary, is trying to create a seminary where a person can get a free M. Div. for the whole world. The classes are being translated into 6 languages. This is their missions statement: Third Millennium Ministries (IIIM) is an Evangelical Christian parachurch ministry in the Reformed tradition (read our [...]
To Spank or Not to Spank – One Bureaucrat Says She Should be the Judge
Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, said she plans to introduce a bill this week outlawing anyone from swatting children age 3 and younger. Violators could face up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine. I guess that would put the many Christians in the State of California, should the bill [...]
Romans and the Gospel
We began our study on Paul’s letter to the Romans in our small group. Boy what a powerful letter on the greatness of the Gospel of grace, it almost brought me to tears on the first night. We’re actually using Tim Keller’s study on Romans. You just pay for the rights to make copies and [...]
What I Have Learned from Fasting – Thus Far…
I have learned about food… 1. How strong my physical appetite truly is. 2. How much our society centers around food. 3. How entitled I feel about eating anything I want. 4. How blessed I am to be able to eat anything I want because I can afford to. 5. How little I spend in [...]

Thinking about abortion in light of the Gospel was also a compelling idea. JP wrote: Before we go further into abortion and race, let’s look at our text and put this [...]
Yesterday
Shua and I watched the movie, Yesterday, last night. It’s about the AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. It’s a bit slow and totally in Zulu so there are subtitles. To someone like me, however, who actually spoke a few words in Zulu (okay, 2 words), it was quite heart-warming. It gives a really great depiction [...]
Baptism – Required?
When I as in seminary, I had a professor (Greg Beale) who said that he was 60% believer’s baptist and 40% paedo-baptist. The more you study baptism and its biblical and theological outworkings, the more you understand his statement. Both positions have valid arguments. Both positions have major questions, especially in wrestling with the understanding [...]
Blog Break…
Sorry to the few of you who read my blog. I felt like I was being consumed by it and the Lord was asking me to take a step back from. I’m coming back though shortly. I just needed the breezer. I wanted to make sure that I was more into processing thooughts graciously rather [...]
