Porn-Again Christian

In a very frank and provocative way, Mark Driscoll addresses the struggle of many Christians with pornography.
The e-book, available here, will be released in the upcoming months. I think this is a good read for any guy, even if you are not struggling with pornography.

Here is a sample from the first chapter:
God tells us that [...]

Hurricanes Ike No Joke

There are some pretty crazy looking pictures of the damage that Hurricane Ike left in Texas.
Here is one:
Here is a quote from Jon Bloom, a blogger at Desiring God, on the hurricane and its effects:

The Lord of every storm and every rain drop and every wind gust and every house and every street and every [...]

Saturday Post

Maybe Ike isn’t coming to Florida. But it will go to somebody, which is not great.
I just finishing mowing the lawn. I hate mowing the lawn! But, it’s a good workout, and I FINALLY figured out how to start the lawnmower correctly. (No broken noses this time!)
Mark Driscoll had an interesting interview with John Piper. [...]

Golden Compass: The Anti-Narnia

When I saw an ad for the Golden Compass, I immediately thought, “Cool, another Narnia-like movie. Sweet!”. A little heroine, animals looking all awesome-looked great.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol
or swear by what is false.
As a Christian, we know that this is not of our own. For we are not born with clean hands, or pure hearts. It is only by grace [...]

Recap of Last Bible Study: Last time, we were looking at the story of Nicodemus coming to Jesus at night. Nicodemus starts complementing Jesus and saying nice things about him, and Jesus responds and tells him that he needs to be born again to see the kingdom of God. We talked about how it [...]

“Above All Earthly Powers” Recap

I just finished listening to the 2006 Desring God National titled “Above All Earthly Powers: The Supremacy of Christ in a Post-modern World”. I have previously wrote that I felt this was a very needed topic in our world, being as how many people hold a post-modern worldview (whether they like it or not). The [...]

The New Birth

The New Birth
John 3:1-8
Recap of Last Bible Study: Last time, we were finishing up John Chapter 2. We looked at a passage that talked about how many people were observing Jesus perform miracles, but Jesus did not commit himself to these people. Why didn’t Jesus commit himself to these people? Although the passage says that [...]
