When an Evangelical asks me about Wright, I usually direct them to the N. T. Wright page. However, I think that, I will now include Joel Garver’s entry about him and the controversy that has swollen around him. It is really excellent stuff.
At one point, Garver writes:
So part of the difficulty is that [...]
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. And he went out from there and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom will turn back to the house of David. If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem, [...]
So, the directions for starting up an Apache server seem rather straight forward. But it didn’t work on my laptop this afternoon, despite the help of a much more techy friend. I’ll be making a second attempt some time.
At one time, the qualifications for geekdom simply involved practice with polyhedral die and general [...]
OK, this may be the last real post, but I will publish links to every new blog entry.
A couple of things converged: I was losing track of my template and needed a clean sweep; I wanted categories and I wanted them to have their own identities (titles, links, etc.
So I’ll post links here to all [...]
Here has a story here, but I don’t know the title or the original publication.

Retraction time. These posts are inaccurate:
Another Mac/Safari shortcut
Redundancy app
Keyboarding onto the web without using a browser
They all recommend using Spotlight, the built-in Tiger OSX search feature, rather than using QuickSilver. But all Spotlight does is search and find and open. QS, I have come to realize, does much more. Here is [...]
I got a great iMac G4 for my home office. I loved it (though, of course, Apple has a way of making great machinery look old and decrepit within a year. No one told me dual core intel chips were on the horizon). It had some overheating problems but they were fixed [...]
John Armstrong:
… As an example, just this week I listened to a group of seminary students give their testimonies about what their school meant to them and what it had taught them during their time there. Several of the students made a point of saying that they hated this idea or that movement. One passionately [...]
PS: I’m not surprised at the centering problems (I’ve tried both internal codes and the egually unworking {div align=”center} thing I have now). But what’s the deal with the black border? It doesn’t show up when I try it in my preview screen. Does that look like a 0 border to [...]
Earlier I wrote: “I mentioned that Doug Wilson began responding to Waters. He has continued and is doing an excellent job. Here are links to the first three in order.”
But now there are four.
Guy Waters
Scholarship on stilts.
Moses the blender.
Three Extra Eggs in the Pudding
In the first three, Wilson’s humor kept me cheerful. [...]
Justification or Gratitude
First of all, this is an excellent post that could bear some serious meditation on the part of Reformed and/or Evangelical readers.
Second, I wasn’t there so I didn’t here the historical and cultural particulars about Rich Bledsoe’s case for gratitude. I’m only resonding in an ahistorical way. Because if we’re talking [...]
I wrote this in 2001. I was recently reminded of it. Let me know what you think, if you’re interested in reading it.

A. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
B. For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law,
C. but they desire to have you circumcised [...]
Part One
Part Two
This is simply amazing. I’m not even sure I believe it. How does a multi-billion dollar corporation do this to itself?
Dvorak thinks MS needs to start again and acknowledge that everything after “Windows 2000 Professional or even Windows NT 4.0″ was a mistake.
Of course, none of this is possible if the [...]
To the good people at Mactopia,
I am not sure how an open letter from a Mac user is received, but I need to get this off my chest, so sending it is just a courtesy. If a loyalty test is needed, not only to I use the Microsoft office suite (yeah, I downloaded neoOffice, [...]
Since I recently posted about him, I should point out that The Call of Grace: How the Covenant Illuminates Salvation and Evangelism is still available. You should get it. Ignore the trolls at Amazon; trust my review.

As one can see from my side notes, Norman Shepherd wrote about part of the OPC report on justification.
Dr. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary made the following retort:
What do we hear from Rev Shepherd?
Quote:
Now there can be no objection to calling good works the fruit and evidence of saving faith.
No objection? This is the language [...]
Because when you report that your kill score was double your death score, because you were Masterchief incarnate on a ghost in the sidewinder map, and that you got the flag and were the top scorer, your sons lack any inhibitions about doing a victory dance in your honor.
Life is good.

From a Baptist News story
– Traditional Protestant theology wrongly caricatures first century Judaism as a religion of works or legalism, whereby Jews believed they had to earn their salvation by keeping the law. Instead, NP theology claims that Judaism was a religion of grace. This is the foundational tenet to the New Perspective and “if [...]
I arrived this morning at my usual Bible study appointment and found the building dark. Power is out all over town after a brief windstorm. It is amazing. I could stand on the front steps of the office building and look at a hotel accross the streets that was still using its [...]
