I have a heart for college and university students.
Although we’ll always need more laborers in the fields to work and toil and by God’s grace sow the seed of the gospel in the soil of human hearts — whether that means working overseas, at orphanages, in nursing homes, or wherever else — one of the [...]
Hi Matt,
Cool, that’s an interesting question. Thanks for asking it. Unfortunately, though, I don’t have a whole lot to say or contribute to your otherwise good question. I’m pretty vanilla when it comes to how I write and blog and all that stuff. Nothing cool at all. Still, since you asked, you shall receive! [...]
The following is so true, so wise. As Thomas Wilcox once said, “Judge not Christ’s love by providences, but by promises.” Here’s Jon Bloom:
“Spatial disorientation” is what an aircraft pilot experiences when he flies into weather conditions that prevent him from being able see the horizon or the ground. Points of reference that guide his [...]
Not only will Obama become the next POTUS, but, what’s more, did you know that Obama is the reason for the season, too?
This is yet another solid reason why evangelicals should vote for Obama.
Man, I can’t wait to cast my ballot! Right now I live in days which will be marked “Before Obama.” Yet I [...]
People have been asking me what I look like these days. Here I am this morning, in the washroom at a remote site, at 167.5 pounds.
Oh yeah: I shaved, too.
(Update: now compare this to my baptism pictures.)
In case anyone is actually interested, a few of us have been having an interesting discussion on the TNIV Bible and related translation issues. You can go here to follow the thread.
I’m sure it’s just me, but I feel kinda weird now, in retrospect, since I brought up the fact that I kinda like the [...]
From Keith Pavlischek over at First Things:
Dr. Hymie Gordon (Mayo Clinic): “By all criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception.”
Dr. Micheline Matthews-Roth (Harvard University Medical School): “It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life begins at conception.”
Dr. Alfred Bongioanni (University of Pennsylvania): “I have learned from [...]

Not that I have a leg to stand on in agreeing or disagreeing (especially since I have zero knowledge of biblical Hebrew and Greek), but I agree with Ian who agrees with Craig Blomberg!
In addition, I thought I’d mention a few more resources I’ve read which I’ve found informative on the topic: Blomberg’s “TNIV: The [...]
Not sure if you’ve heard the news yet, but the Imperial Fleet has paid a visit to California. Specifically, San Francisco. Yep, San Francisco. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than in San Francisco!
It only gets worse: they brought the Death Star. No doubt due to some Jedi or [...]
Prof. Tremper Longman’s thoughts and comments on his recent trip to China are worth quoting in full:
In the past year I had the incredible privilege of teaching a course on Torah and Wisdom at the University of Peking in Beijing and then to travel a few months later to Hong Kong to speak at an [...]
This deserves a spot front and center on our weblog: Trevin Wax interviews my hands-down favorite Christian music “group,” Red Mountain Church Music, hailing from Birmingham, Alabama.
Although I believe they’ve composed their own stuff, Red Mountain Church Music is primarily known for, as Trevin describes, “tak[ing] old hymn texts and put[ting] them to new music.” [...]
So, I have been bitten by the bug to get textile.el working again. Hopefully the bug won’t kill me.
Here’s an article about an Emergency Room stroke exam with a webcam. Okay, it isn’t anything spectacular, and it may not appeal to most people, but I personally thought it was really cool to see in action — to see how the doctors interacted with the stroke patient, made their diagnosis, etc.! You should [...]
Pastor Rob sends me plain-text outlines (well, they’re plain text, but written in Word; he doesn’t use the outline editor that’s built-in), and it’s my job to turn them into HTML. I spend 5-10 minutes a week doing that. So today I spent 90 minutes and taught Emacs how to do it. [...]
Other people may like to answer questions about themselves in order to help others better know them. Or just for fun. But, preening peacock that I am, I can’t resist doing a Q&A about myself because I love talking about me, myself, and I! (HT: Lisa Nunley.)
1. What time did you get up this morning?
Today, [...]
In the midst of this review of a liberal scholar’s book on how to understand inspiration and the inerrancy debate, S.M. Baugh does a great job of describing how we are supposed to view the Scriptures: “The ‘oracles of God’ (Rom. 3:2) are fully divine while concurrently fully human.”
Yes, I’ve been on a “how to save money” kick lately, and here’s a useful link along those lines, if you’re tempted to dump the car you’re paying off now and go further into debt driving a Prius.
This is unnerving on many levels.
I agree with Dr. White: it would be hard to tell, if the sound were off, whether this was a conversion to Islam or the sinner’s prayer.
I get some strange satisfaction out of the fact that there is a blog that is only about the ampersand. HT:DF.
Fascinating bit about an autistic girl and her reaction to her Mormon family’s religious activities.
MIT working on a $12 computer based on the Apple II, This is nothing but cool. Now, any consideration of whether it would be better to use one of the other 80s home computers, like the Commodore 64 (that one’s for Dave) or the venerable TRS-80?
Ohio inmate convicted of rape and murder says he’s too fat for execution. You know, I could think of a few alternatives for lethal injection that would not only accomplish the aim of justice but also maybe make a few people think twice before brutally destroying young women. And last I checked, they [...]
Interesting post related to the MySpace “bullying” suicide case. Did you know that Google’s Terms of Service forbid anyone from using their services if they are not of legal age to enter into a contract? In other words, everybody under 18 who “Googles” something is violating Google’s Terms of Service.
