I notice that a picture of CRT which has not been authorised by WTS Publications Dept has sneaked out onto the web. No wonder he was so happy to be mistaken for Prof Beckwith. http://against-heresies.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-teach-defense-against-dark-arts.html And, as far as Thielicke goes, a...

Justin's blog has seen a lot of comments (good ones, too) in response to Roger Olson's comments about the Calvinistic God. Olson was recoiling against John Piper's take on God's sovereignty in light of the Minneapolis bridge collapse. Olson made two incredible comments that shows just how dangerous...

My pastor recently recommended a method for praying all of the Psalms in one month. On the first day of the month, you read Psalm 1--then add "30" till you run out of Psalms. So on the first day of the month, you'd read Psalms 1, 31, 61, 91, 121. The next day you'd read Psalms 2, 32, 62, 92, 122--...
Many thanks to Rick for a thoughtful and provocative post on Mother Teresa. With regard to her nearly fifty year struggle to experience any presence of Christ in her life and ministry, I wish to make one further point about union and communion with Christ. Mother Teresa's apologists are taking her...
This morning, my PA (knowing my love of Westerns) told me that a `new' Western is about to come out, starring Russell Crowe (is that how you spell it?) and some guy of whom I have never heard. The title? 3-10 to Yuma. 3-10 TO YUMA!!!!!!! I almost choked -- this was, of course, a classic Western of...
In a recent mailing, Mars Hill Audio worries a little that they are "still something on an unintentionally well-kept secret," and that they "hope to change that in the coming year." If it is true that Mars Hill Audio is a well-kept secret, that would be a shame. The bimonthly journal produced by...
In response to Carl Trueman's post on 3-10 Yuma , it should also be noted that Brokeback Mountain --with its homosexual love theme -- effectively destroyed the Western as a genre. This is part of a wider cultural trend: the postmodern subversion of the literary and cinematic conventions of healthy...

Dr. D. James Kennedy died peacefully in his sleep this morning at 3:30 AM (ET), Wednesday; September 5, 2007. We at the Alliance thank God for Dr. Kennedy's faithful ministry, and pray the Lord's peace and comfort for his family, as well as consolation for the congregation of Coral Ridge...
Carl, the actor you have never heard of (right!), is Christian Bale (of Batman Begins fame) -- who,as I'm sure you know, is WELSH! Born in Pembrokeshire!
The British public are apparently "at ease" with the idea of producing animal-human hybrid embryos in order to further stem cell research. A government watchdog committee gave approval for it yesterday. For an in-depth analysis of what's at issue in this process from the Lineacre Centre for...
