Today I spent eight hours reading Freedom of the Will, one of Jonathan Edwards’ most intense writings. It’s my last assignment for my Winterim class, and it’s a Th.M.-specific assignment. We were allowed to choose one of three major Edwards works, read it, and write a ten-page analysis and critique of it: History of Redemption, Original Sin, or … More How Jonathan Edwards Made Me Laugh

Unlike me, John Hannah is skilled at making significant points with few words. He’s a proverb-producing machine. I hesitate to use the word “wit” in the title of this post because of its negative connotations in the previous post. But it’s the best word for the title, and this time I mean good by it. John Hannah … More Wit and Wisdom from John Hannah (1)
Lord-willing, I finish my Master of Divinity degree in one week. That’s hard to believe. I haven’t really reflected on the reality of it yet, but it’s a significant process that the Lord has brought me through. My foremost concern going into seminary was that my heart would grow cold, I would learn to treat the … More Master of Divinity

We went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley in the morning and early afternoon, Malibu Beach for the late afternoon and sunset, and a local fish restaurant called Froggy’s for dinner. It was a refreshing day … More Signing Your Life Away
Kirk Cameron was the guest speaker in my Apologetics & Evangelism seminary class yesterday. He’s one of the leaders of The Way of the Master, a ministry that does evangelism and trains Christians to evangelize by using the law (specifically the Ten Commandments) to show people their need for the gospel. There are theological questions I have … More Lessons in Evangelism
The guy RD’s decided to hike Half-Dome in Yosemite this weekend (Jeff Lewis, Dave Hulet, Siona Savini, and I). The only other time I was in Yosemite is long enough ago for me not to remember anything about it. I’ll certainly remember this time, though. The hike was 15.2 miles roundtrip. We gained around 4,800 feet … More Climbing Half Dome in Yosemite National Park
Cindi and I were going to spend some time together at 9:00 tonight after I finished my reading for tomorrow morning’s seminary class (Apologetics & Evangelism). I was pretty baked, though, after a long week and an hour and a half of Cornelius Van Til and other philosophically-oriented writers. She could tell, so she asked me … More In Praise of My Wife
