Inaugural Post: Why YRRs annoy me, Why I am coincidentally YRR, and how I’m trying to balance that.

Well, hey.
I haven’t posted in a long time, I know. Part of that has to do with the fact that I kind of dropped off the face of the earth after the accident and never really got back into the swing of things. But alas, here we are. Back in the swing of things. Feels [...]

Wayne Grudem on Offensive Language

From This article on desiringgod.org
Using the words commonly thought to be offensive in the culture seems to me to be sort of the verbal equivalent of not wearing deodorant and having body odor, or of going around with spilled food on our shirts all the time. Someone might argue that not wearing deodorant or wearing [...]

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Abstract of Principles

Just thought my readers would find this interesting. It’s good stuff, from the Abstract of Principles of Southern Baptist.
I. The Scriptures.
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were given by inspiration of God, and are the only sufficient, certain and authoritative rule of all saving knowledge, faith and obedience.
II. God.
There is but one God, [...]

Interesting Concept #2: Were the Disciples Saved?

And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles to be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. And after flogging him, they [...]

Interesting Concept #1: Did Jesus’ Flesh Cause Him to Not Be Essentially Good?

And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone…”
Luke 18:18-19
What an interesting concept. So the question is, did Jesus’ 100% flesh imply a nature of sin? Not of the action of [...]

Being The Gospel Part 1: It’s Not Only About You. In pursuit of a sold-out devotion and love for the Bride.

I thought I’d start out in an area in which we young people could use a good dose of biblical truth in, especially at ages that have us hustling and bustling around.
The format for these will admittedly involve a good amount of ‘debunking’, but will not be statements that are only  made to simply debunk. [...]

Quite Possibly the Most Awesome Thing for Jesus to Say to You

“Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ [...]

Commentary On Young People (Myself Included)

So today I was in World Geography and I was bored out of my mind with about 30 freshmen sitting around me. So, I decided to write a rant about something that’s been on my mind. Here goes, straight off the college-ruled notebook paper.
My concern for the young people in the American church is great. [...]

Awesome.

Sometimes you just read something in scripture that makes your whole inner being want to scream out in triumph, confidence, fear, joy, trembling, etc.
As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but [...]

A Reminder for the Rebel in Us (not the good rebel)

“And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, ‘Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” And he said to them, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in [...]
