Interesting CT article.
BTW, God willing, I’d like to visit Capitol Hill Baptist Church.
Mark Steyn on William Wilberforce. HT: Wesley J. Smith.
If it comes to mind, please pray for me. I have an important exam coming up this Saturday, March 24th.
Also, I’ll most likely be incommunicado via email beginning Wednesday (Mar. 21st) through Sunday (Mar. 25th).

How sweet and awesome is this place
[originally How sweet and aweful is the place]
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores!
Here every bowel of our God
With soft compassion rolls;
Here peace and pardon bought with blood
Is food for dying souls.
While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each [...]
This was originally an aside, but I thought it’d be worth upgrading to the front page. Besides, it’s kind of too long for an aside. Not that that’s stopped me in the past, but I’m aiming to turn over a new leaf here, I guess.
C.J. Mahaney on the gospel. BTW, Mahaney’s book, [...]
“Now I finally see somebody further down the Reformed totem pole than I am.” And it’s John MacArthur.
Part two of my talk on the “family tomb of Jesus” is here. It is more practical; it doesn’t just cover this attack on the faith, but also has some points to remember when defending God’s Word in general.
Don’t get into a copyfight. Do read this.
Pastor Arden on the utter sinfulness of humans suppressing the truth of God’s existence in their unrighteousness: “Atheism is a sin which even Satan and the other fallen angels are not guilty of.”
John Inman is dead. I laughed quite a bit because of this man. It’s a shame that he probably didn’t know the Lord.
Check out part one (it’s about 85 minutes) of my response to the Lost Jesus Family Tomb story. We tell the story and largely take it apart. Part two will finish with the debunking and move on to general apologetics against this and other attacks on Scripture (like the Da Vinci Code and [...]
I totally want to read this book now.
Update (I’m moving to the front as it’s kinda too long for an aside): Also, after listening to this D.A. Carson sermon on trials and temptations (MP3), as difficult as the road may be, to say the least, if God would have mercy on me I do want [...]
Warning: we (Tracey and myself) have lost internet access at home. Until our ISP comes out to fix it, we are offline from the house, so don’t expect much interaction the next day or two.
Will we survive? Tune in tomorrow or Friday to find out.
Update: is this post showing up twice? [...]
This is a scream: My new mobile is lumbered with a bewildering array of unnecessary features aimed at idiots.
I always have a hard time when acquaintances die. I don’t know why that is.
But I knew this woman, worked on her Mac back in the day. She had a login on a Unix server I maintain.
It really brings mortality home when it strikes nearby. It’s like seeing lightning hit a house [...]
In my view, the bigger shock is how high the score for the NWT is!
You scored as NASB - New American Standard Bible. You are intelligent, responsible, and understanding. You strive to do your best possible in all areas of life and are generally quite successful. You do not mind being different and sometimes [...]
I’ll be speaking about the recent findings in Talpiot (the “Jesus Family Tomb”) at Grace Community Bible Church this Wednesday at 7pm. If you’re in the St. Louis area and want to know what’s going on with this tempest in a teapot, make the drive out. We’ll be talking about the facts, the [...]
C.S. Lewis wrote a letter to Dorothy Sayers on March 4, 1954. At the end of the letter is penned the following poem:
Lead us, Evolution, lead us
Up the future’s endless stair,
Chop us, change us, clip us, weed us,
For stagnation is despair:
Groping, guessing, yet progressing,
Lead us nobody-knows-where.
To what variation
Our posterity may turn,
Hairy, squashy, or crustacean,
Bulbous-eyed [...]
The following is my feeble-minded recapitulation of philosopher Alvin Plantinga’s evolutionary argument against naturalism deployed against Richard Dawkins’ worldview. But please make sure to read Plantinga’s article.
For the sake of argument, let’s assume what Dawkins teaches is true. Let’s assume there is no God or other deities. Let’s assume there is no [...]
You might consider praying for me; I had a wisdom tooth break yesterday, and due to other health problems which I will talk about someday, I can’t have any painkillers. I have to be on antibiotics for a week before they’ll pull the tooth. It’s going to be a long, long nine days [...]
