This well deserves to be on the front page.

1. Name a movie you have seen more than 10 times.
Hm, you know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single movie more than 10 times. The first Back to the Future or maybe the original Star Wars trilogy probably come the closest with about five times each or thereabouts.
2. Name a movie you’ve [...]

Sovereign Grace Singles is where it’s at!
Thomas Weinandy on divine impassibility.
The Vossed World offers this reflection on Kline: “There’s an old joke about some preachers that they are ’so heavenly minded, they’re no earthly good.’ Kline knew that this was impossible. He knew that the only value a pastor had to the sheep was to be utterly heavenly minded.”
The following is an excerpt from an email correspondence between myself and the mother of a friend of mine.

Hi Mrs. XXXXX,
I should add a couple more things:
1. First, faith cannot be faith in faith or blind faith. Faith [...]
Dear Caucasian-Americans,
It’s already begun. In fact, it’s only a matter of time before we take away your Caucasian women. See the following photo of one of our operatives, James Tofu aka ±007…and tremble!
And we’ve even written a how-to book on the topic. As Confucius say, knowing is half the battle.
By the way, [...]
I just read this article which begins:
While it seems most people are resigned to express hatred toward Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech gunman who shot and killed 32 people before taking his own life, there are some who aren’t thinking twice about forgiving the 23-year-old student for his heinous crimes.
First off, in one sense, [...]
We’re not moving; the people buying our house couldn’t swing the financing.
Note that “preapproval” doesn’t mean “approval.” It means “if everything you have said, and certain assumptions, check out, then we will lend to you.”
Lesson learned.
Another lesson: in our housing market, earnest money tends to be less than $500. Even if we [...]
Monergism has a resource-packed page on J.I. Packer.
“Death with Life contended: combat strangely ended! Life’s own champion, slain, yet lives to reign”.
It’s important to first note that this above quote is taken from a roughly 500 year old (if not older) Easter sequence regarding the crucifixion of Christ for the sins of his people called the Victimae Paschali Laudes. It is [...]
Apparently Lock ‘Em Down Records is giving out my cell phone number to their creditors. How very nice of them.
Although far from being a godly song, I used to identify a lot with “Comfortably Numb” from Pink Floyd’s album The Wall.
Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
In some ways I feel numb now, but not numb from shock or anything terrible that is happening. Nothing [...]
Meredith Kline has gone to his reward.
Because Charlie reminded me of them, I thought I’d take this moment to geek out and post one of my fave songs by They Might Be Giants (right up there with “Birdhouse In Your Soul”):
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
[Melody here.]
I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living Head.
He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
He lives triumphant from the grave,
He [...]
The Reverend Dr. Michael Ward reviews the third volume of The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis. What most stands out (or should most stand out) is Walter Hooper’s tremendous work in preparing these letters for publication. HT: Justin Taylor.
I like the sponge analogy. HT: Justin Taylor.
