I’m preaching on masculinity in a couple of weeks time at church, and have been thinking through a whole bunch of things. Especially off the fact that Mark Driscoll really provoked a good deal of thought about this lately, it’s something which I’m keen to reinforce in our hearts and minds. So, with that in …

Some Thoughts on Old Testament Scholarship
A couple of weeks ago I engaged in a comparison of Daniel 7-12 and 1 Enoch. It was an amazing journey into the world of academic scholarship. So many interesting views flying around, yet so little voice from the conservative corner. I wondered what happened to the reformed evangelical voice…? Well, tonight I read something …

Systematic Theology
From the latest issue of the Themelios journal: a great article by the historical theologian, Carl Trueman (visiting Australia next year), who writes about the great defender of the faith, J.

You can really appreciate his passion and zeal for God, and His creation! What an encouragement and exhortation to live for Christ …

No Little People
From Francis Schaeffer’s No Little People: “We must remember throughout our lives that in God’s sight there are no little people and no little places. Only one thing is important: to be consecrated persons in God’s place for us, at each moment.”

I Like Burritos
I’m probably in a small minority of bloggers who actually aren’t taking too much notice of the US Presidential race. But, I was reading the liveblog of the McCain/Obama meeting with Rick Warren at his Saddleback church. Within a matter of seconds I was pleasantly surprised that in between all the ‘God-pronounced’ judgments on the …
