I’m not so presumptuous, but I have been thinking about marriage and our relationship with Christ quite a bit. Elyse Fitzpatrick’s Found in HimContinue reading “I Have a New Name! And So Do You!”

Book Review – Found in Him by Elyse Fitzpatrick
My love of the doctrine of our union with Christ began about a year ago. I was taking a class on the atonement with Oliver Crisp, and I was assigned to present a paper on T.F. Torrance’s Atonement. It was supposed to be an exposition and critique of Torrance’s doctrine of the atonement. However IContinue reading “Book Review – Found in Him by Elyse Fitzpatrick”

With that I offer to you a prayer for the New Year from the Scottish Book of Common Prayer (1912): Immortal Lord God, who inhabitest eternity, and hast brought us, thine unworthy servants, to the beginning of anotherContinue reading “A Scottish Prayer for the New Year”
I Think I Broke It… My Goal For Reading This Year
One of my friends set a goal for himself in 2012, to read 40 books. When I heard he beat it I thought “woah thats a great goal to have, I bet I could beat it.” So I set out to beat his 40 and read 50 books this year.

Book Review – Clear Winter Nights by Trevin Wax
Let me preface this by saying that I don’t read a ton of fiction, but I recently read Cornelius Plantinga’s Reading for Preaching and I became convinced that as a preacher I need to read more fiction. So when I came across Trevin Wax’s Clear Winter Nights I knew I should pick it up. IContinue reading “Book Review – Clear Winter Nights by Trevin Wax”
O’ Holy Night
Tonight we celebrate the wonderful truth that King Jesus was born as a humble child, but that even in his humble manger he lays as the King of Creation. We celebrate that the fact that His gospel is a gospel that brings peace between us and God, between us and other people, and between usContinue reading “O’ Holy Night”
