Ben-oni or Ben-jamin?

7/21/2008 – 8:43 pm

The following is from Sinclair Ferguson (whose Scottish accent is at least as cool as Alistair Begg’s if not more so, IMHO):
[W]here we cannot understand we can still trust.
This requires a deliberate commitment of the mind. That hurts when our natural instinct is to let our minds and emotions dwell on our pain, loss, and [...]

Another one bites the dust

7/9/2008 – 10:15 pm

Alas, dear friends! Here’s a sad lesson for all of us: It doesn’t pay to steal acorns.
HT: The photo is originally from the world famous Gumminator.

God vs. Doctor Who, and a common mistake

3/27/2008 – 2:15 pm

I am lifting this out of my shared links to point out an opportunity to think about worldview and apologetics.
The headline is “Man Finds God, And It’s Not ‘Doctor Who.’” I like SyFy Portal, but I admit that I don’t agree with the author of this piece, Michal Hinman, about much outside of science [...]

On Viewing a Body

3/10/2008 – 6:55 am

A touching essay by Matt Jenson: On Viewing a Body. A beautiful intersection of theology and “real life.”

I got my middle initial from this man, who died on my birthday. I hope to make it down there for a viewing, but this flu thing going around has returned to my family so I guess we’ll see.

Kennedy dies

9/5/2007 – 8:15 am

I just heard from my father by phone that D. James Kennedy has gone to his reward.
Update: verified. In other news, I think I scooped everybody on this one. Bit of a surprise.

Jerry Falwell goes to his reward

5/15/2007 – 12:47 pm

Apparently Jerry Falwell is dead. Wow.
Bloomberg confirms.
Update: Tom Ascol weighs in with the best words yet.

John Inman

3/8/2007 – 5:31 pm

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.

Bruce Metzger, 1914-2007

2/15/2007 – 1:00 am

Bruce Metzger, whose books God used to convince me that He used the fallible church as a means to the end of delivering an inerrant Scripture, has gone to his reward. Thanks, Dr. Metzger. He was one important link in the chain Christ used to draw me out of the cult I was [...]

Steve Irwin is dead

9/5/2006 – 11:15 am

The Crocodile Hunter is dead. Sad, really, particularly since it is unlikely that he knew the Lord (we watched him once in Sri Lanka talking about what a beautiful religion Buddhism is, because of its stance on the sacredness of life).

Knowing the heart

4/9/2005 – 4:23 pm

I have gotten some interesting feedback from my links a few days ago, and my occasional posts elsewhere, and even from a discussion or two in the Big Blue Room (meaning, not on the computer—the BBR being the world outside, encompassed by the sky, etc.). None from Catholics, but I wouldn’t expect many Catholics [...]

Responses to the death of John Paul II

4/4/2005 – 10:02 am

I haven’t said anything about the death of the pope this weekend; it seemed wrong to me to allow his death to overshadow that of Terri Schiavo’s, at least on my corner of the web.
A discussion list which I frequent has had quite a lively exchange about how we as Protestants, who believe that the [...]

And so it ends

3/31/2005 – 10:40 am

Terri Schiavo passed away this morning in her hospice.
The governments of the state of Florida and the United States are now complicit in the murder of a woman who may very well have wanted to live, and may have been able to recover.
It is not the first time this has happened, and now we are [...]
