Shaun Groves Beatitudes

Last night we brought in Shaun Groves for a concert at Tyndale. He exceeded my expectations. I had the privilege of going to the airport to pick him up and spend some time with him…

An argument

I read this arguement in my epistemology textbook. It’s humerous, but it works, or does it? “Either I shall die of cancer caused by smoking or I shall not. If I shall, then there is…

Cul-de-sacs

I’m going to try completely stop something. It’s something I’ve tried before; I doubt I succeeded for very long. Most of us take part in it quite often and are so consumed by it that…

Marva Dawn

The most recent book that I have cracked open is one that Eugene Peterson (author of The Message, that paraphrase everyone either loves or hates) and Marva Dawn. It’s called the Unnecessary Pastor. I’m only…

Regurgitated BS

I’m in the class of Job right now. I know what you’re thinking, and it’s probably the same thing that I thought when I first signed up for the class. Job is an easy book….

Theyleft everything and followed him

I was reading through Luke 5 this morning, and something particular stuck out to me. The chapter begins with Christ calling his first disciples. It is the account of James, John and Simon Peter being…

Evangelism 101

Well, Joe’s comment confirmed my next post. If you haven’t read it, read his comment on the last post. The subject is witnessing. Are we commanded to do it? First, let’s read the following verses…

I just finished reading yet another great article by GQ. This one was about a writer that went to CreationFest. It’s extremly well written, and amazingly insightful and truthful. Read it here. It’s really long,…

God Speaks…

“Why do you confuse the issue? Why do you talk without knowing what you’re talking about? Pull yourself together, Job! Up on your feet! Stand tall! I have some questions for you, and I want…

Purposeful Separation

Tonight I watched Ray. It was the story of Ray Charles (the black singer guy). It was a great movie. It was a little long though; I was getting uncomfortable in my seat after about…

Bible: More than a Category

So tonight was an interesting night. Donald Miller (author of Blue like Jazz) was at Tyndale tonight and he spoke. After we had our small group with a few new additions. All went well, and…

Bible: The Answer Book

The bible has always been considered to have all the answers. I’ve heard time and time again from the pulpit that if we ever have any questions to just look in the bible and you…

Evangelicals on Larry King Live

Thought this might be interesting. Bryan McLaren, T.D. Jakes, The Lahayes (Tim and Beverly, you know the Left Behind series) and Franklin Graham were on Larry King live the other night. This is the transcript….

Bible: The Rule Book
