a testimony that declares the glory of God →
Once upon a time, there was a boy.
This is my testimony. My words and heart and history spilled out on page like a black coffee stain. It’s taken years for me to write and here in a mere, few moments, all my deepest secrets will be revealed. I don’t care about who reads them or how they affect…

Book Review: The Betrayal: A Novel on John Calvin
The Betrayal: A Novel on John Calvin is one of the better novels I’ve read in a long time. Admittedly, I’m slightly prejudiced and inexperienced to review this particular novel for a two reasons.
Yeah, it’s the bobblehead and the beer. No, not really.
I like John Calvin. And I like him because his life was centered around the glory of God. It’s really that simple....

Book Review: Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor
Here’s a good reason that Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor: The Life and Reflections of Tom Carson is one of the best biographies I’ve ever read.
It’s real.
I don’t mean to say that the biographies of Carmichael or Wilberforce aren’t true. What I mean to say is that there is a great danger when reading of great saints who accomplished much that our lives in...

a tale of two evangelists
I keep up with street evangelists. I like them. I like them even more if they are under the authority of their local church, commissioned by their local church, and sent out by their local church. Did I mention their local church? If you know me personally or know my past, I was a street evangelist. I don’t use the word was in any kind of negative connotation. I look back on my days of...

Watchthedailywhat:
Kids Make The Darndest Movie Reviewers of the Day: I have no immediate problem with an 11-year-old self-styling as a “movie reviewer” and critiquing movies on TV. It’s only when that 11-year-old is a snot-nosed punk named Jackson who gives Inception a “C” for being “really confusing” that I start to get a funny, nervous twitch neath my bottom eyelid.

When My Heart Runs Dry: Reflection →
“All gracious affections that are a sweet odor to Christ, and that fill the soul of a Christian with a heavenly sweetness and fragrancy, are brokenhearted affections. A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble brokenhearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are…

karenalleluia asked: Hello, mister. I read your post on what you had to say to heckyeahchristians' Tumblr and I thought you approached it very nicely. It's nice to find a true brother in Christ who understands we've all sinned, homosexuality is one of the many, but there is hope in Christ Jesus who died for us sinners. I see that you are reformed as well and I hope I can see some of your future biblical...

Photo Tampering Throughout History →
naternet:
So, when you talk about people being “airbrushed” in magazines, remember that it’s been going on for 150 years and the folks who did it first were really, really patient people.
aside from the observation that “airbrushing” has been around for a long time, I’d just like to add that as a society we have grown accustomed to photo-manipulation. It is expected...

noahmqn:
In his sermon “Doctrine and Life” in Walking with God: Studies in 1 John(Crossway, 1993), David Martyn Lloyd-Jones takes on people who do not like an emphasis on doctrine or theological precision. They say:
We are not interested… in your various ideas and schools of thought with regard to the precise explanation of how the atonement of Christ works. These things are of no concern to...
