Warfield: “Are They Few that Be Saved?”
This is my own summary of Warfield’s article, “Are They Few that Be Saved?” I am studying the issue because I am writing on Matthew 7:13-14 for the BJU Press Bible Truths series. “The paucitas salvandorum [the idea that few will be saved] has long ranked among a wide...
Something Else That Was Going on in 1776
A helpful comment from the aforesaid:
Logos on Kindle
A friend linked me to an ongoing discussion about reading Logos Bible Software books on the Kindle. That discussion took a major turn I didn’t expect: a number of commenters are arguing that exporting Logos books to be read on the Kindle is a violation of the Logos...
Another Good Comment by R.T. France
I see some echoes of pithy OT commentator Derek Kidner in R.T. France’s comments on the Sermon on the Mount. I thought this was an excellent set of comments on Matthew 7:7–8, “Ask and it shall be given…; seek and you will find…; knock and the door will be opened.” The...

Eustace

John Frame and Rand Hummel
Ever since I read John Frame I started seeing threes everywhere. His triperspectivalism has a way of worming into your brain and growing a secret third eye. My wife and I even decided to have a baby—three Wards in one house! It’s kind of creepy. So whenever I hear...
OpenRange
I live in Taylors, SC, and around here my best option for Internet service has always been BellSouth/AT&T DSL. I didn't want television or phone service, just fast enough Internet to perform common tasks. That meant I was stuck at paying about $40 a month—more...
