I. Introduction
Anyone who visits a Church in the Reformation Tradition will sooner or later learn that the children of Christians there are commonly baptized quite soon after they are born. Of course, many people know that liberal mainline churches baptize children, and many are aware that non-Protestant bodies baptize babies. Some realize that [...]

It may be off topic, but reading this made me think that the ontological argument may have a similar problem to the cosmological argument. In the case of the Cosmological, when one says that God is the ground of all being, and then looks at the beings one finds in the world, one could [...]
A link from BHT is making me lose my faith.
But what about video games? Half-life 2 alone makes me think about running back to the empire.
Maybe I need to admit I’m a media consumer, not a computer user.

In case anyone is interested, these are the things I have written about the Westminster Standards. Some of these are direct expositons. Others are Biblical studies that defend Westminster Doctrine.
CREDO on justification
Not much expositon. More a testimony about the lack of theological competence among theological guardians.
Justification & Salvation Quiz
Irony with the [...]
Perhaps I’m slow, but I just discovered that Third Millennium Ministries has put up a page of John Murray’s lectures/sermons. Highly recommended (but my advice is to download the larger files [16] because the combination of low quality recording and Scottish brogue can be hard to hear).
Also, Here are some more lectures (with some [...]
I just ran across this witness to the doctrine of the Puritan preacher Anthony Burgess. I thought it was worth sharing.
Anthony Burgess’ book, “The True Doctrine of Justification” deals with the question of seeking daily pardon of sin in Lecture 14. Here is an outline which might be helpful:
Observation. It is the duty of [...]

I don’t subsribe to the WSJ, but here is an interesting summary of the company’s culture of secrecy:
“Apple mostly keeps its plans for new products to itself. It rigidly compartmentalises itself so that even its own employees don’t find out about coming products,” the report confirms. “While many tech companies assign internal code names [...]
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx [...]
There’s a new book out arguing that Christian children ought to be permitted to partake of the Lord’s supper without first having to jump through hoops to satisfy their older brothers in the Lord (pastor/elders) that they are worthy enough to have table fellowship with Jesus and His Body.
For more stuff, go here.
I guess the [...]
I had been working on something for the past few days that I hoped to have completed by Saturday. Today I found that 3/4 of it was annihilated. I must have mistakenly done something yesterday and never noticed.
How frustrating.

Got a new format in mind. I’m going to try to make this a weekly column. See y’all next week. OK?

This looks really hot! It isn’t really even on my horizon since I’m having plenty of fun with what I have. But, for future reference, is this sort of thing safe? As far as I can tell Apple.com doesn’t offer a 2.16 GHz processor for the Mini. I notice Rival doesn’t [...]

Since I’ve linked Jeff’s comments about Guy Waters book (by the way, I would really like to read the Westminster Theological Journal’s published interaction between Nick Perrin and Guy Waters, if anyone wants to send me their copy), I figure I should point out that I tried to help him out.
I had wondered where [...]
But wow, what an obituary! Would that we all could leave this sort of legacy and witness (in whatever vocation we have been given).

Apparantly some have misunderstood my If I were to be invited to my trial post.
The “trial” here is the voting on a committee report that condemns an alleged body of thought or “movement” (i.e. “The Federal Vison and/or “the New Perspective”) and attaches the names of ministers in good standing to that condemnation. In [...]
I thought this post was great. The stuff about alcohol and Christian liberty was excellent, but that is not why I’m linking it. I’m linking it because it is a window into what happens in a culture among the old guard when a generational paradigm shift takes place. This is a window [...]
The machine is working well. While an unprecedanted attack on PCA ministers floods the halls, the victims will not be permitted to take advantage of the rights everyone else has to speak freely in their own defense.
