continue reading...Read the Book, and Do the Lab Jeff may be surprised, but I have remembered something that he said when we were doing weekly Bible studies several years ago. We covered several books of the Bible, and I can’t remember what was the context for his statement, that all of our Bible learning should be […]
continue reading...The Unavoidable-ness of God My working definition for “worldliness” is to act as though God does not exist or that He does not matter. If you were to accept that definition, you might agree that much of the world is addicted to worldliness, as are many professing Christians when there is a separation between their […]
continue reading...“What is this confidence that you have? (Is 36:4) One of the great stories late in Judah’s history is that of Hezekiah and God’s deliverance from the Assyrian invasion.

He included it in a speech to a […]
continue reading...Whiter than Snow There is a beautiful verse in Isaiah 1 that uses snow’s whiteness as a word picture. I don’t know how in the world that phrase came to mind here at the halfway point of February, but let’s not talk about the weather. Let’s talk about the Gospel. read the entire newsletter here
continue reading...Staph Meeting I was sitting all alone in a coffee shop with this laptop, deep in thought about something or other. A couple of older ladies sat to my left. I’m not sure how old, maybe my age. But then I saw him, a man with a book, a discussion book. He started to pull […]
continue reading...Worm’s Eye View I learned in art class about perspective, and the difference between the worm’s eye view vs. the eagle’s eye view. The picture will look much different depending on the chosen perspective. I’ve been reading a collection of sermons written by Christopher Love of England in the 1600’s. He died in his 30’s, […]

J. Greshem Machen’s book Christianity and Liberalism has long been a classic defense of orthodox Christian faith against Liberalism.
