Were you aware that different groups enumerate the ten commandments differently? Knowing about alternative interpretations helps me ask questions of my own interpretations that I haven't yet thought of. The major crux interpretum I'm aware of in this passage regards...

Why Women Don’t Play Football
I do enjoy a good football game, though in order to have more time to lay up treasures in heaven I catch only about two a year. I caught most of yesterday's SuperBowl, however, and it was a thrilling game. The best moment came when my wife said, "Wow! That guy is 6...
CONTROVERSY!
Controversy pushes blog readership up, I'm told. But I like blogs that tout the helpful books, articles, and MP3s someone is reading or listening to (like Andy Naselli). I also like blogs that give me exegetical or grammatical or ministerial tidbits to chew on (like...

Tim Challies is on board with Apple now, and he "iPologizes" for his rejection of Macs in the past. No apologies here. I haven't been arrogant about Macs, just truthful. On the other hand, I must admit that I am tiring somewhat of having to run my most important...

The Five Tenants of Calvinism
Approximately 30 different sites on the Internet make reference to the "five tenants of Calvinism." None of them, however, has revealed who those five tenants are. So now, for the first time in the history of the Internet, I will reveal every one of the five tenants:...
Evolutionary Hymn by C. S. Lewis
Evolutionary Hymn Lead us, Evolution, lead us Up the future's endless stair; Chop us, change us, prod us, weed us. For stagnation is despair: Groping, guessing, yet progressing, Lead us nobody knows where. Wrong or justice, joy or sorrow, In the present what are they...
