Maoz Zur

Pick up some free cultural and religious enrichment at Amazon׃ a traditional Hanukah song which is more than reminiscent of the biblical Psalms. While listening, try to follow along in the Hebrew. (Please try, if only to justify the time I spent typing it out!)...

Jonathan Edwards Is My Homeboy

One of my favorite teachers here at BJU recently read the book above to get insight into some of his more theologically inclined students. I want insight, too, and I had noticed this book riding some blogosphere buzz, so I picked it up. It was engaging, informative,...

Homosexuality, Serpents, and Doves

The tag-line for BJU's What in the World! newsletter is "helping believers be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." I borrowed, of course, the words of Jesus in Matt. 10:16 as He sends His disciples out on a preaching tour. Every sinful age demands that Christ's...
