Mike Bird On God’s Glory

The new issue of Themelios has a review from Michael Bird onTom Schreiner’s new NT theology book, and has some wise words considering the idea that “God does all things for his glory.”

No Place Like Dome 2

Last night I saw the Twins beat the Red Sox by basically walking around the bases after the Sox pitchers threw 6 wild pitches. When I wasn’t watching the game I was studying the Dome’s very interesting roof.

I was listening to a Twins game where the announcers were talking about a super high pop fly that got lodged in the roof’s ventilation system and found [...]

Defectors to faith mark a growing trend

It seems like everyone has trouble raising their kids to believe what mom and dad want them to believe.
Parenthood must be one of the most anxiety-inducing roles if one is concerned about what their children will believe when they grow up. Then again, it may be that values so taught are rarely demonstrated. The [...]
