Blog-o-morph-o-sphere
I’ve watched the blogosphere morph and grow over time; I think I became a regular blog-reader in 2001 or 2002. (I had a blog then, too, but it didn’t last—mainly because I did not think I had anything worth saying publicly; I wanted to get some education.) You know...
The F-Word on a Family-Safe Blog, Or Why Ken Myers Was Right in 1989

The Best BJU Chapel Message I Have Ever Heard
I have heard approximately 500 BJU chapel sermons in the last 10 years. Before that I heard about 100 each year for my four years of undergraduate training. I’m coming up on a thousand, and if you include Bible Conferences and two summer school sessions, I may be...
