For the 2-3 people who might’ve clicked “The Latest” on the side-bar, this will be a reprint. But the only way I can save my posts from that page are to put them hear. Since I am going to revise that page with a new post today, I decided to put the old [...]

Happiness and Blessing

I finished my classes yesterday around 8:50 pm. Walking to my car, I was almost overwhelmed by the beauty of the environment around me. The air was clear, the sun was setting, the temperature was a perfect 68-70ish…and Western’s campus is beautiful anyways, regardless of the day.
Whenever I become particularly enchanted by my environment, a [...]
A Minute with Henry
Posted in Series: Henry Scougal on May 23, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Henry Scougal is my favorite Christian writer. Scougal was a Scottish Puritan who became a professor at the Unversity of Aberdeen at 19, a pastor at 23, professor of Divinity in the King’s college at 24, and died at 27.
At one webpage we read that Scougal “was led to the [...]

:: I want to preface this post by saying it is not objectively written. The only truth that I am sure about is contained in the passage quoted at the bottom: that God looks beyond our appearance. The rest is just my silly, fallible opinion::
I came across a thought-provoking, albeit superficial news story [...]
Lovely, Lovely Quote

“We think the post-propositional, post-dogmatic, post-authoritative ‘conversation’ is post-relevant and post-saving.” – John Piper
I found that quote on a blog entitled, “A Submerging Church“, which is written by a man named Andrew Malloy.
Solid!
David and Joab Finale: Let Him Fight for You

Last Friday, our softball team suffered its first defeat. I sincerely tried to put on a good face, but it’s been made clear to me (by two people, both independently!) that my frustration after the game was quite apparent.
I was upset.
I hate losing. That probably makes me like every other person in the world, except [...]

In my Philosophy of Education course tonight, my teacher went on a brief tangent in which he took a pot-shot at “Chistian Evangelical Fundamentalists”. I’m not sure whether or not he used the term “right-wing”.
I usually don’t speak up when my teacher goes on these little rants. He’s generally a nice guy and [...]
Love… Love…Looove!

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
But if you show partiality, you are committing sin [...]
Stand firm against sin

As we learn from the musical prodigy, Glenn Gould, Bach entitled this cantata “Stand firm against sin”. In this piece, he uses musical ideas Gould characterizes as a “wonderful and tortuous art of cross-relation and suspension” which “Bach always reserved for those subjects on which he felt most keenly, most deeply.”
This is Bach’s Cantata [...]
Dreams

The mind of man plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
~
From our birth we are taught to dream. The Rodgers and Hammerstein lyric is deeply embedded in the thought process of nearly all the Western world:
Climb [...]
