If you don’t already own it, I highly recommend purchasing What God Has Always Wanted: The Bible’s Big Idea from Genesis through Revelation by Charles Boyd and illustrated by Dennas Davis. Especially if you have kids or are a Sunday school teacher. Or if you play a similar or related role in children’s lives. It’s [...]
Hot water does freeze faster than cold water under many circumstances.
So, I’ve now lost 64 pounds since the beginning of the year, and 13 pounds in July alone (making it my second-biggest weight-loss month, and the largest weight-loss month since starting Atkins). I did lose quickly on another diet, but I couldn’t maintain any energy on that diet; I was barely making it through [...]
In the not-too-distant past, I used to pretty much totally and vehemently disagree with Al Gore and everything he’s ever stood for. However, now that I’ve read this piece from America’s Finest News Source — which paints a touching portrait of the real (i.e. non-robotic) Al Gore and his heart for humanity — I realize [...]
Note to paedobaptists: membership in the new covenant derives from repentance and faith, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. (With apologies to Monty Python.)
Marie Peterson writes a hymn: Lord, How I Long to Live My Life. Now those are some theologically sound, Christ-centered lyrics! (Update: Marie explains the last stanza at my request.)
Evolution is punctuated equilibria, according to ZDNet, and then they proceed to compare this to network security. Which would be fine, if every single variant of computer software in history weren’t actually an act of intelligent design (well, maybe not Microsoft Word).
“The face of apologetics is changing (I should know, I've watched Dr. White's beard grow with my own two eyes).” Good opening line to a good post contra Zeitgeist by Summer White.
For what it’s worth, if anything, I’ve sketched out a very brief testimony (or just click above where it says “Patrick’s Testimony”). Okay, so it’s just a laundry list of biographical facts at this point. But I hope to flesh it out soon. Anyway, just a head’s up for any who might be interested.
Just felt an earthquake here at work. Apparently it’s a 5.8 5.4. Right as it was happening, and in fact right after it happened, everyone stood there frozen, in shock, either with their eyes glazed over, or asking what to do. (BTW, no one I saw dove underneath a desk or headed towards a doorway.) [...]
I would love to know why there was a pack of cards (hard to see here, thanks to my dreadful cell phone camera) scattered across the grass and the seat at the bus stop yesterday afternoon.
Jorn Barger, noted anti-Semite and one of the few who can actually lay some claim to the “No, I invented blogging!” shout, was a homeless guy in 2005. Wow.
Jimmy Moore explains why he’s not completely thrilled with the recent New England Journal of Medicine weight loss study. He’s right. (And I’ve now lost over sixty pounds; boo-yah.)
This may be an interesting topic to follow: “Is a vivid imagination at the heart of OCD?“
From Horatius Bonar:
Perhaps much of our slow progress in the walk of faith is to be traced to our overlooking the love of the Spirit.
We do not deal with Him, for strength and advancement, as one who really loves us, and longs to bless us, and delights to help our infirmities (Rom 8:26). We regard [...]
Going to Seminary’s Ryan Burns and Jake Belder were able to ask Prof. John Frame a few questions related to seminary, and have kindly made the video interview available online. Also, I think the Frame interview is worth watching in conjunction with this D.A. Carson interview.
Speaking of sysadmins, raise your hand if you’ve ever had to deal with stupidity like this. I feel for DJB, I really do. Read that list of outages.
Yippee skippy, it’s System Administrator Appreciation Day. (My employer’s appreciation has been shown to me this year by allowing me to keep my job.)
Friend, have you had no date of late? Or have you had dates galore but found them each a bore? Were you looking for Mr or Mrs Right, only to have to tell ‘em to fly a kite!
Did you think you’d met “the one”? Was the first date oh such fun? Full of laughter, not [...]
From Bryan Chapell:
One day not too long ago, I went to the hospital to visit my friend Eric, who was dying of a brain tumor. Months of fighting the cancer with chemo and prayer had seemed futile. I came to encourage Eric and had no idea how powerful his ministry would be to me. In [...]
Would we know that the major chords were sweet,
If there were no minor key?
Would the painter’s work be fair to our eyes,
without shade on land or sea?
Would we know the meaning of happiness,
Would we feel that the day was bright,
If we’d never known what it was to grieve,
Nor gazed on the dark of night?
Excerpted from [...]
Doulogos: zounds, he doesn’t mince words! “But what of the person who finds themselves with no other alternative but to attend a church where they believe differently? I say, hogwash to that. No other alternative? Pffft. Look you lazy sloth, the Queen of Sheba crossed half the earth to listen to King Saul speak, [...]
Those who know me well probably already know that I’m a big fan of comics and cartoons and comic books and animations and cartoon or comic strips and all that stuff which most adults would likely relegate to the annals of their childhood. So, for what it’s worth, if anything, I thought I’d give you [...]
