A Modern Day Psalm – The Lord Will Not Abandon You
After reading the Psalms for so long I felt like making one of my own
Following the wording and style of Psalms, focusing on God as the subject and answer to everyday life, no need for rhymes, but giving attention to flow and patterns. Now it has become one of my recurring devotional exercises, as a way of praying to and praising the Lord. Give it a try sometime! Here... Continue Reading
Genesis: History, Fiction, or Neither? 3 Views on the Bible’s Earliest Chapters
Hermeneutical consistency doesn’t allow one to affirm the bodily resurrection of Christ and deny other statements the Old and New Testament’s authors intended as historical fact
We must ask: is the Jesus we affirm the one who claimed that not simply the ideas but the very letters and words of Scripture matter and point to him (Matt. 5:18)? Is he the Jesus who was the word made flesh (John 1:14), who was “in the beginning with God” and through whom “all things... Continue Reading
Review: Happiness by Randy Alcorn
Numerous themes are threaded throughout the book. Here are the eight most significant ones on what happiness is and is not
Alcorn’s argument is clear and compelling. The evidence he presents from both Scripture and church history is overwhelming. His promise of God-centered happiness is appealing and motivating. His helps toward happiness are practical and doable. Happiness is a book I expect to be recommending regularly. But I do have two reservations about it, which, due to the limitations of space,...

Some Thoughts on the Reading of Books
A few suggestions on what and how to read
Maintain regular reading projects. I strategize my reading in six main categories: Theology, Biblical Studies, Church Life, History, Cultural Studies, and Literature. I have some project from each of these categories going at all times. I collect and gather books for each project and read them over a determined period of time. This helps to... Continue Reading
Accidental Saints
Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People is the follow-up to Nadia Bolz-Weber's memoir, Pastrix
Let me say it candidly: Bolz-Weber has no business being a pastor and, therefore, no business writing as a pastor. She proves this on nearly every page of her book. Time and again she shows that she is woefully lacking in godly character. Her stories, her word choice, her interactions with her parishioners, her temper,... Continue Reading
The Practical Benefits of Peace
Horatius Bonar answers the question: “What are the benefits of this ‘peace-with-God-through-Jesus’?”
It cheers us in trial. The peace of God within us is our chiefest consolation when sorrows crowd in upon us. Lighted up with this true lamp, we are not greatly moved because of the darkness without. Peace with God is our anchor in the storm, our strong tower in adverse times, the soother of... Continue Reading

A Review: “Christian Reconstruction: R. J. Rushdoony and American Religious Conservatism”
McVicar's ‘Christian Reconstruction’ is a fair summary and analysis of the movement, dealing with its faults, without resorting to the triumphalism of the fanboy or the fear-mongering
Though brief, McVicar highlights Rushdoony’s “anti-humanist” political thought, the role of the Mosaic Law in society and how it would apply in case-laws such as those requiring the death penalty, the kingdom of God and postmillennial eschatology. McVicar uses well the key sources of Rushdoony’s thought, primarily his magnum opus, the Institutes of Biblical Law (1973). ... Continue Reading
“God Made All of Me”
It’s one of the greatest fears for a parent — that their child will become a victim of sexual abuse
“The book is for two to eight year old boys and girls. We wrote it because we have two young children and know that parents need tools to help them address body parts with their kids and to help them understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touch.” It’s perhaps one of the greatest fears...
