Not to be forgotten is arguably the most influential Reformer within Christian history, John Calvin who turns 500 this July.

June 23, 2009The Fifth Commandment
June 22, 2009A branch of the Discovery Channel Canada called “Forensic Factor” did an episode profiling the investigation of my uncle’s murder. It is not viewable in the US, but if you are a tricky IP address monkey you can set your proxy to watch it (I don’t know how, of course. Brother did that).
After watching, [...]

Losing God

Lewis has some interesting thoughts he communicates in the second book of his space trilogy Perelandra that express much better what [...]

June 9, 2009Hey everyone, I just thought I would update everyone via the blog of my situation (so I don’t have to repeat 8 or 9 times). It’s really stupid actually. Becca and I were biking around Cedar Lake and while going up a hill I flipped over the handle bars. Yes, that’s right… I was going [...]
New Studies in Biblical Theology
June 8, 2009I have consistently found that reading thematic studies in biblical theology is by far and away more interesting and edifying to faith than the run of the mill stuff that publishers put out as “devotional literature.”
Here is an index of a series I would love to devour.
No Place Like Dome 3
June 7, 2009Ok, people. Since I am officially obsessed with the Dome’s roof you are going to get a lot of posts about it, and one super long one about all my research. Nerdy time for me–nerdy time for you.
Here is a video of inflation day. (Top 100 Dome moments)
