My Year in Books–2021
My Year in Books–2021
Assuming I finish a couple of the ones I am working through now, and I have every reason to believe I will, this past year I read 100 books. I set out to read slower and attempt to retain information at a greater level and I believe I was successful at this. And yet, I read more than I did last year. I chalk that up to more Kindle books and shorter books. Where I was only in school during the…

Our Hospitable God

Our Hospitable God
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
The Bible begins with an act of hospitality. If we define hospitality as “making room”, then this act and the following acts of creation, are the most hospitable acts to every occur. Because before this act, nothing apart from God himself as Father, Son, and…

My Top Reads of 2020
This year I set out to read less books than I usually do. I felt that I was reading to quickly and not retaining enough. Somehow, I ended up reading more than I ever have. I’m still not sure how that worked, especially because I do feel like I read more closely and carefully this year than in years previously. To date I have read 89 books this year and will like be a bit over 90 by the close of…

"The wounded it heals": Herman Bavinck on the reach of the gospel
“The wounded it heals”: Herman Bavinck on the reach of the gospel
“Sin is a power, a principle, that has penetrated deeply into all forms of created life. The organism of the world itself has been affected. Left to itself, sin would have made desolate and destroyed all things. But God has interposed his grace and his covenant between sin and the world. By his common grace he restrains sin with its power to dissolve and destroy. Yet common grace is not enough.…

Her Flourishing
Before she is yours, she is His;
You want her flourishing, and you should;
But only He knows, what her flourishing is;
Why then the burden?
On your frail shoulders?
Could they carry it?
That great weight:
her flourishing.
And why the pressure?
In your finite mind?
Can you fathom it?
That reality:
her flourishing.
And why the pacing?
With yourfainting…

Salvation.
Safety.
Satisfaction.
Jesus offers two. We’re hellbent on the one he doesn’t.

“If you can’t see the sun you will be impressed with a street light. If you’ve never felt thunder and lightning you’ll be impressed with fireworks. And if you turn your back on the greatness and majesty of God you’ll fall in love with a world of shadows and short-lived pleasures.”
— John Piper (via dailydoseofstuf)

Books I'm Looking Forward to in 2020
Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2020
Looking ahead to 2020 there are several books I am looking forward to reading. A few of them are below.
–The Decadent Society, Ross Douthat. Douthat is one of the most brilliant and best writers around and his perspective on things from culture, to politics, to faith is always incredibly insightful. America is in a bad way at the moment and this book argues it’s due to our own success as a nation…

Links – 11.04.2019
Each Monday I’ll try to post a few links to articles and pieces I found interesting/beneficial/enjoyable the previous week. Here is the first installment:
– “Herman Bavinck on Men and Women,” Steven Wedgeworth. https://calvinistinternational.com/2019/09/23/herman-bavinck-on-men-and-women/
A wonderful set of lengthy quotations on the equal and distinct splendor of men and women from one of the…

Chesterton's 'Comparisons'
Chesterton’s ‘Comparisons’
If I set the sun beside the moon,
And if I set the land beside the sea,
And if I set the flower beside the fruit,
And if I set the town beside the country,
And if I set the man beside the woman,
I suppose some fool would talk
About one being better.
-G.K Chesterton
And, we might add, another fool talks of their being the same thing.

Ivory Coast 2018 –– Pre-Departure Post
Ivory Coast 2018 –– Pre-Departure Post
Tomorrow at 11:50 am Sydney and I will take off from Charlotte, NC to make the 24 or so hour trek to Ivory Coast. Even typing that last sentence feels too good to be true, and yet it is. Since this past summer when we considered going to Ivory Coast we weren’t entirely sure if it would come to fruition. And yet here we are. Bags packed. Passports in their holders. Hearts bursting to set foot on…

Partnership Program Update: August 2017
It’s finally here! This Saturday I will make my way to Charlotte for New Student Orientation. And then in just a couple weeks, on Sept. 6th, classes will officially begin! (Now because I am doing a distance program I won’t actually go in for class until Sept. 15 & 16; but still, the fact that the school year is finally officially beginning is exciting!) If you haven’t heard yet, I am now fully…
