Brief notice

By the way, one thing that is keeping me too busy to write much is the fact that I am going to Juarez in a couple of weeks to teach the advanced class in an English as a Second Lanuguage camp. And I am taking Calvin along as an assistant.
Please pray for our safety […]

Instead of a blog entry

Back from GA, but too busy to write much. Had a great time at the assembly meeting old friends and even making new ones.
I thought Batman Begins was the movie we had all been waiting for. I didn’t hate everything about Tim Burton’s original movie, but I did really dislike the […]

The problem with arguments over ideas

The problem with arguments over ideas is that they never last as such. Invariably people identify with them and, at that point, the issue is no longer defending an idea as much as establishing one’s identity. And of course, appealing to the identity of a group also provides a path for power within […]

More good news

This is wonderful in so many ways. And it is providentially a great follow-up to the interaction between Dr. Chapell and Rev. Lusk.
I’m slightly disappointed this was made a matter of dispute (as evidenced by the reply box missing from the printer version I linked). Dr. Kelly was permitted to simply publish an […]

What Ridderbos Really Said

According to Herman Ridderbos, justification is a second-order doctrine. He writes of the Gospel that Paul preached that it has been easily misunderstood due to a concern for individual justification or other concerns.
[I]t has become evident how easily the entrance to Paul’s preaching is blocked or narrowed when one comes to place in the […]

In love with us

Once more with feeling

Those of you who have been catching televised reruns of Buffy, might not realize how abbreviated the musical episode in season six really is. I heard a version of Spike’s song that had a complete verse that was missing from what I watched on TV. Also, for those with broadband, here is the […]

Faith and faithfulness

Colossians 1.21-23:
And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of […]
