Let me be honest with you…. It has been a while since I have been as excited about a book as I am for this one. I read a lot of books, and I write reviews for many of them. Most of the books are really good too, but they aren’t books that I amContinue reading “Book Review – Christian Faith in the Old Testament by Gareth Cockerill”

Becoming Sequoias and Doing College Ministry
In his book College Ministry in a Post-Christian Culture Stephen Lutz asks the reader two questions that frame the rest of his book. Even though they are questions directed at college/campus ministers I think they are great questions for anybody in ministry to constantly be asking themselves: Does the grounded, growing, fruitful tree describe you?Continue reading “Becoming Sequoias and Doing College Ministry”
The Cross + Guilty Feelings = Forgiveness!
The truth is that often we feel as though beating ourselves up and dwelling on our sin pleases God. You probably won’t admit this but if you really stop and think about it, you see the grain of truth in it. Its as though we think that God needs to be reminded of our sin.Continue reading “The Cross + Guilty Feelings = Forgiveness!”
I Have a New Name! And So Do You!
I have been married for a few days now, so I sort of consider myself an expert on marriage, therefore its time to start blogging about my wisdom. Haha yeah right.

Why the Church Councils Got it Right
No creed but the Bible. You often hear this coming from the mouths of fundamentalists or ultraconservatives or even people who don’t really understand how creeds work and/or how church councils worked. Of course Scripture is the norming norm. Of course it is our ultimate foundation, but there are other things that help us shapeContinue reading “Why the Church Councils Got it Right”
The First Look
I am getting married in a few months. As I think more and more about it I get excited, and not just for the wedding night. I am really looking forward to “the first look.” It’s a tradition that has fallen out of vogue in the last several years, but I think it’s a beautifulContinue reading “The First Look”
2 Thessalonians and Moorpark College
This morning I before I went to Moorpark I was reading 2 Thessalonians. What really jumped out to me was the wrath and punishment promised for those who don’t know Jesus: He will punish those who don’t know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. (2 Thess. 1:8) But that isn’tContinue reading “2 Thessalonians and Moorpark College”
