Air Arminia

What to do if you’re seated next to a Calvinist on a plane. (Paging Samuel L. Jackson?)

Party like it’s 1499

Justin Rigali, the former Archbishop of St. Louis and current Archbishop of Philadelphia, is offering plenary indulgences. Paging Dr. Luther? An interesting note in that Philadelphia Inquirer article is how indulgences break the spirit of the agreement that the Roman Catholic Church signed with the Lutheran World Federation (which does not speak for [...]

Indoctrinate U

Will we ever get to see this film? I hope so.

Confession!

So, the poll currently is about your attitude regarding confessions of faith. Out of five respondents (and while I could look and try to figure out who’s who in the IP addresses, I’m not going to do that), two so far have taken the extreme anti-confession position (”no creed but the Bible, baby”). [...]

No maybes about Mbewe

Ten questions with Conrad Mbewe.

Messing around

I’m messing around with the site in a number of ways. Don’t be alarmed by the way it looks.
Update: Upgraded to WP 2.2.1. I miss veryplaintxt, but I like Sandbox. I wish I had time to create a veryplaintxt skin for Sandbox. In the meantime I’m using the Kubrick Sandbox [...]

More questions than answers

A story about the Reiser murder case.

No longer worth it

I have had to turn off mail delivery to myself from the Reformed Baptist Discussion List (RBDL). I just can’t personally read some of the things that are said there. Maybe someday I’ll be strong enough to read some of those things without actually sinning in my heart.
I understand why some people think [...]

He can not repent

Daniel at Doulogos: “The reason a person gets into the habit of ‘not repenting’ is because deep down they don’t really want to repent - that is, the ‘old man’ refuses to repent. He … cannot … repent.”

Covenant again?

When did this happen?

Older and wiser

According to some sort of scientific study or whatever, elder siblings are on average smarter than their younger siblings. Fortunately, I am not only an older sibling, but the eldest sibling in our family! Therefore, according to scientific facts and figures and the theory of evolution which cannot be refuted, I am the [...]

Alien chicks and comic-book cleavage

Boy, I hope this debate gets off the ground.

YAWQ (Yet Another Web Quiz)

This should be interesting. I had to post this to get something back after doing so poorly on Jessica’s.
Create your own Friend Quiz here
The quiz people prompt you to enter all sorts of personal information. I grant you the choice of lying when you enter it. In fact, I encourage it. [...]

What Would Steve Do?

No, this isn’t about Steve Jobs, or Steve Hays for that matter.
I mentioned a year ago that I have a coworker who calls me Steve. Today he did it again. As far as I can tell he is not doing this for a laugh; I think he really believes that that’s my name. [...]

From Kirk to the kirk

Kirk Cameron’s message to SBC pastors (among others).

Singles map

Another reason why I need to move to St. Louis.

Not coming back

Several months ago, a young woman in my church wanted to go on a short-term mission trip. She and her family looked around and found a few likely candidates, but it was interesting to see just how few options there were as far as Reformed missions go.
Now, my church is not large. In [...]

The Uneasy Conscience of a Non-Charismatic Evangelical

Dan Wallace’s “The Uneasy Conscience of a Non-Charismatic Evangelical” was a very good read.

Never to grieve or dishonour such a father!

John Paton writes about his father.
(And how much more so our Heavenly Father!)

Christ Reformed lectures

Christ Reformed’s Academy lectures are available online.
BTW, Samples’ four part series on Augustine was one of the best introductions to Augustine I’ve ever heard or read.

Paul Potts

Wow, I loved this guy’s performance (no one will fall asleep, that’s for sure)!

History and theology of Calvinism

Dr. Curt Daniel’s “The History and Theology of Calvinism” is available on MP3 and PDF (3.3 MB).
