My sister shared this video with me on Facebook today. Here is a quote: Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves, from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person, neither a philosopher nor a general, important though [...]

Another Christmas Day has rolled by 3 days hence, to borrow a word from the past. A celebration of the birth of the Messiah as a man-child, and a celebration of family. A new family for me, I might add. I love the Salyer clan and am starting to learn the intricacies of their individual [...]

This is a great documentary by John Piper. I’m the 2nd individual in my entire multi-generational, “white”, Western-European descended, family to marry “inter-racially”. I have always loved the way the Gospel of Jesus Christ tears down barriers and stone-faced ideologies, whether religious or otherwise. John talks about the human family and adoption and race in [...]

400 years after the publication of the KJV Bible, I am blessed by these thoughts from John Piper. 1. Because it awakens and sustains faith. 2. Because by it we receive the Holy Spirit who is infinitely valuable. 3. Because it creates and sustains life. 4. Because it gives us hope. 5. Because it brings [...]

Amy Carmichael is one of those people that have inspired me greatly in my search to be totally abandoned to God. Here is a poem I’ve been thinking about lately. For some reason, every time I read this poem, I can almost hear Ravi Zacharias’ East Indian accent as he quotes this poem from memory [...]

What is the Age of Accountability? After some recent conversations, I have been re-studying the theory of “The Age of Accountability“. I was a bit surprised to discover that it is indeed a theory; not a hard and fast Biblical doctrine. However, it matters a lot which version of the theory you believe to be [...]

I have always been fascinated by the well-developed and thoroughly thought-through ideas taught by John D. Martin on the Kingdom of God. His teachings and the teachings of others like him are what first drew me to Anabaptism in general and to conservative Mennonites and the “Charity Movement” in particular. Of course, as with any [...]
