I know. It’s sad, ain’t it. Oh well, I’ve pretty much finished the setup of my new weblog, The Red Fire Hydrant using Movable Type and some hardcoding. My thoughts will be posted over there from now on. I’m seeing if I can import the entries from my livejournal, but don’t count on it anytime soon.

It’s been fun...

I was reading J. Edwards’ sermon entitled The Christian Pilgrim and there is this gem of a statement:

God is the highest good of the reasonable creature; and the enjoyment of him is the only happiness with which our soul can be satisfied...Fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, or children or the company of earthly friends are but shadows; but the ( Read more... )

Supposedly Metallica invented music theory. They’re suing an indie band for using E and F chords.

Check that last post. Christians aren’t the only morons on this earth.

Ahh the joys of design...

God is good.

It’s been warm inside the house today, and even the fan cannot stave off the stickiness of sweat and skin ( Read more... )

I’m hooked on the new Embodyment album. It’s called “Songs for the Living,” which, aside from the album title’s redemptive significance, is packed with solid rock ‘n roll.

Fourth of July was blissfully uneventful. I went down to Aliso Viejo to sit at the church’s booth and be a handsome face for the community to see. I took Chad with me, and we ( Read more... )

I just got my copy of John Piper’s new book, Don’t Waste Your Life in the mail today. Do I mention that I received said book FOR FREE!!?? I paid absolutely nothing for it. Zero, zilch, nada. Not even shipping. I pray that Dr. Piper and his ministry are blessed richly by God. This book is fantastic. It might even be better than Desiring God, believe ( Read more... )

Michael Horton of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals has written an article deconstructing the evangelical obsession with postmodernity and “relevance.”
