There are so many high points that reflect Fitzgerald's unique style that I'm confident I'll return to it soon.
Book Review: The House of Mirth
For those with patience and a taste for intellectually stimulating pages of descriptive writing, The House of Mirth is delightful.
Why Compare the BHI and the KKK?
I do not know if Dr. White is a racist or not, but I do know that with a platform as far-reaching as his, I pray he uses his words and accusations more carefully.
We Would See Jesus
Would you see Jesus? You may well have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but he is most certainly there with you. The day we will be able to see him with our own eyes and touch the hem of his garment with our own hands cannot come soon enough for me.
Guilty Before God of Negligence
We may farther learn from this passage, that although magistrates may not be solicited for succor, they are accounted guilty before God of negligence, if they do not, of their own accord, succor those who stand in need of their interference.
Book Review: Gone with the Wind
Gone with the Wind is a masterpiece.
Book Review: The Gospel Comes with a House Key
I would recommend that those who are interested in Christian hospitality (and yes, outreach) read this book. It is challenging and convicting, and having read it, I want to do more in this area.
Sola Scriptura and Paedobaptism
To be in the new covenant is to have Christ's life and death applied to you. His righteousness imputed to you and Holy Spirit indwelling in you.
Book Review: The Beautiful and Damned
In conclusion, The Beautiful and Damned was not as satisfying as Tender is the Night.
Book Review: Tender is the Night
The imperfections only serve to drive the story deeper. I wish I had read this novel twenty years ago.
Valentine's Ashes
Lean close together, hold one another and seek spiritual intimacy. Give one another your ashes. Get down to the real work of being holy partners, wholly together.
Fear Big Bad Beer?
Yes, I'll drink corporation beer if you buy it. But let's not pretend ... I'm definitelyjudging you.
Echoes Become Your Only Friend
Isolation is now man's "natural" path. Isolation from God, friends, and eventually even self. Who hasn't felt like they were a shell of some better self?
always in the blood
The body and blood I inhabit that are—in so many ways—not my own to do with what I please. Maybe it washes out in the water, maybe it's always in the blood. But I have been sacrificed for...and so I am given the strength to keep sacrificing my self.
Womanhood Is Not A Performance
To me, this chapter was a breath of fresh air, not just because it dispels the myth of Mary Magdalene, but also for what her story reveals about Jesus's attitude toward women and His vocations for them.
Calvin on Divine Promises and Curses
The application for the Christian to the believer is simple. Live in light of God's cross-generational covenantal blessings and curses. But also, rest assured that the faithful freedom of God is not tied in any way to us.
“Once Saved, Always Saved?”
God indeed has shown us the way to salvation, through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ.
Book Review: Vindicating the Vixens
Filled with fiery passion for the truth in God's word, practical application is present throughout. The book avails itself to all students of God's word.
