Well, the blog anyway. I've been procrastinating on writing this post but I can't put it off any longer. I've decided to put this blog out of its misery since I really don't have time for two blogs. My other blog, Reformed Chicks Blabbing is now a part of the beliefnet blogs and I plan to do the type of blogging that I do here over there. I do plan to post Bible studies there (yes, I know

I'm glad I had him for New Testament Introduction before he left. I wonder who will be teaching that class now? He was an excellent professor (all of Westminster professors are excellent -- I've never disliked any of my professors). The NTI class looks at various issues related to the New Testament: Second Temple Judaism, the history of Israel up until Christ's birth and beyond, cannon issues,

I was just over at WTS bookstore and I noticed this book: It looks pretty interesting. I wish I had time to read it, but maybe you do? If you decide to read it, please use my link so I can get my kickback :-)

Merry Christmas to all of my readers (all two of you :-) and those just passing through. I hope you have a very nice day spending time with your family and friends and that you don't overindulge :-) I'm waiting for my husband and teenage daughter to get up so we can open presents. I already opened mine weeks ago (my very wonderful Vaio) so I have no surprises under the tree :-) My joy will be

Man! I bet that kid felt stupid. As a parent I know the joy of finding the perfect gift and then not to be able to give it to give it to the kid is heartbreaking, though making a huge profit I'm sure helps to mend his broken heart :-)After catching his 15-year-old smoking pot, a father sold the hard-to-get "Guitar Hero III" video game he bought his son for 90 dollars for Christmas at an online

Wilson will be blogging, chapter by chapter, on Piper's The Future of Justification: A Response to N. T. Wright. Wilson praises Piper's approach to the material: I really appreciate how careful John Piper has sought to be in the process of writing this book. I was asked to give feedback on the earlier draft as someone who likes a lot of what Wright is doing, but also as a sometime critic of

Sorry it took so long to post this (I can't believe it's been an entire week), thanks for the prayers. I really appreciate them! I was able to hand in my paper on time. I wrote 11 pages but was only supposed to write 6-10, I was able to edit it down to 9. I guess I'm blessed to write too much instead of too little :-) Please pray for me this week if you can, I'm studying for finals. I have

I'm pretty depressed right now and it's affecting my seminary work. I need to concentrate so I can write an exegesis paper for my General Epistles and Revelation class. It's due this week and I haven't been able to write it (I've started but it's pretty disjointed). I'm working on it now, please pray that I can keep my focus until I finish it.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebration with your friends and family and that you don't overindulge :-) Thankfully I don't have to cook today, my sister does Thanksgiving and I do Christmas -- it makes it a lot easier on both of us.

Literally! *sniff* *sniff* OK, I'm 47 and I expect to have wrinkles and sagging skin and all that but I didn't expect to have this! *sniff* So, what happened?

G. K. Beale and D.A Carson have edited a commentary on the New Testament's use of the Old Testament. This looks like it will be a very helpful commentary, one that will give the reader an understanding of the context of the Old Testament passage being quoted: Readers of the New Testament often encounter quotes or allusions to Old Testament stories and prophecies that are unfamiliar or obscure

Manya Brachear of The Seeker posts some of the spiritual secrets from PostSecret. I'm not sure I buy this one: "I’m an editor for a large online atheist newsletter--and I believe in God."If it's true, I wonder if he/she doesn't want to give up his/her connections and income now that he/she no longer believes in atheism (and yeah, as much as you protest it, it is a belief system, that's why it's

Yes, God does freely offer salvation to all and yes, it is Reformed to say that. Here's a link to my digest of John Murray's article "The Free Offer of the Gospel" and here's a link to Mark Horne's defense of that article.
