I’ve put up a few photos of famous Reformed folks (i.e., Jay Adams, James White) in the last few weeks on this blog. However, it occurred to me recently that I have a photo of myself and a fellow blogger, Trey Austin, hiding somewhere on my hard drive. Trey came and preached a sermon series […]

Yes, it’s bad that Islam (perhaps the world’s largest pseudo-Christian heresy /cult) is such a worldwide phenomenon. And it’s also bad enough that certain factions of Islam have given rise to state-supported terrorism in certain parts of the world. And even if the jihadist aspects of Islam are not sponsored by a government, it is […]

I watched a little of the Democratic Youtube debate on Monday night. I was struck by this comment from an pastor in Hickory, NC.

Sometimes I like to play a game called “Count the Number of Logical Fallacies” (e.g., here we could go with red herring, false analogy, and argumentum ad […]

The subject of evangelism is certainly a popular one within the Christian church (even if actual activity of evangelism itself is not). Numerous books on evangelism exist, and some are very good (Will Metzger’s Tell the Truth, which I first read over 15 years ago, still is one of the best), and numerous evangelism programs […]

I had no idea that a freedom of speech case (with a view toward religious expression) was taking place in my own town (at least for the next month or so) of Cumming, Georgia. The Alliance Defense Fund has taken the case. Here is a brief briefing of the facts surrounding it:

I took the task very seriously (trust me, preaching a sermon […]

Well, hopefully not on the Lord’s Day. This video is apparently making the rounds on You Tube (though I found it at the Reformed News website). My advice: anybody connected with the Federal Vision might want to contact this guy; I don’t think he’s helping your cause.

Warning: high cheese alert! […]

While doing a few chores for the mom-in-law last Saturday, I took a break and turned on the TV. I’m not making this up: ESPN 2 was showing (once again, NOT MAKING THIS UP) the national rock, paper, scissors championship. I once complained to my wife that showing world poker championships on ESPN was silly, […]

A couple of weeks ago I placed a picture of myself and one of the giants of the Reformed faith, Dr. Jay Adams, on this blog. Below, I have posted a pic of me alongside another famous Reformed author and theologian, Dr. James White. This picture was taken last November while my wife and I […]
