This album will be in my Top 5. Currently, it is even pushing for the top spot.
Why I Love Karl Barth
True theology brings God near because God has brought us near in Jesus Christ. Barth taught me that.
angels, unawares (Part 2)
Don't worry. This column isn't going anywhere unless I run out of opinions or Josh fires me.
Book Review: The Great Promise by Karl Barth
The beauty of Barth’s theology is obvious. Direct application to the church and the believer dominate Barth’s lectures.
A Toast
You enfleshed that concept for me. I'm obliged to you in ways I'm only beginning to understand.
A Gender Stereotyping Discussion
The Scriptures tell us to do this. What a novel thought.
October in Music
In fact, there was so much that I had a hard time giving each album its proper time. So these reviews might be a little shorter and rushed than I would normally like.
hello? goodbye.
This is starter music, the milk to the meat of these other names I've listed.
My Own Struggle With My Son’s Struggle
My son is Michael. I love him so much that I would die for him. Our family will walk side by side with him no matter what and I continue to pray that the battle will be won…in Jesus’ Name!
Talking Back
I think about those lines a lot. I pray they can never be written truthfully about me
Public Confession
Christ's death on the cross is not for them in a special way. But for them right now, His nakedness is represented by their honesty.
When You Do Not Obey, You Are Mute
"God stands by his word, and then even faith becomes possible as a miracle." - Karl Barth
On My Struggle With Homosexuality
Compassion for a struggle that is not our own can strengthen our weakened brother or sister. The church must look, listen, and understand.
leave me alone
sweepstakes, coupons, or any other kind of benefit, but only if I tweet/facebook/email all my friends? No. DON'T DO THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS. I see you doing it. Is it really worth it? Has anyone every won ANYTHING?
Lying in the Westminster Standards
I say in all humility that the Shorter Catechism should read "forbiddeth whatsoever is prejudicial to righteousness."
Solomon Against Modernity
We must submit to the place that God put us in His creation. Modernity refuses to do this. The Modern man must be either God or meaningless manner. The Modern man ignores the wisdom of Solomon.
For Want of Wonder (Part 2)
Shrewdness and wonderment can be flat-mates. You can be filled with awe without being a bloomin' idiot.
Lying in the Heidelberg Catechism
"Rather, in court and everywhere else, I should avoid lying and deceit of every kind; these are the very devices the devil uses, and they would call down on me God’s intense wrath." Heidelberg Catechism 112
through a glass darkly (part 2)
The thing is, I stopped going to "my" bar on a regular basis (it's a long story), so I haven't been sampling as many unusual brews. Here, however, are some standbys.
the final arbiter
"All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all" (WCF I.VII)
