Choosing a bible and the ESV contest

July 18, 2005

Two more loose ends to tie up about the recent ESV series. Firstly, I’d like to link to a fantastic book by Leland Ryken called Choosing a bible. This book is available to buy or as a free pdf download. It explains simply the rational behind an essentially literal version. Leland argues that we believe [...]

10 years and 1 day – outing in London and Greenwich

July 17, 2005

Yesterday was the most romantic day I have had in a long time. The company of course was a major reason, since although it is 10 years and 1 day since we got married we are still just as much in love. But the suroundings also played a big part. There is possibly nothing more [...]

Kings Cross 8 days after the London Bombing

July 15, 2005

Today I travelled through Kings Cross twice. Both times I felt the same mournful atmosphere overwhelmed me. This morning Police and senior underground officials were guarding the still closed underground entrance on the main concorse. This evening the entrance was open once again and the police seemed slightly more relaxed at this new step towards [...]

What is Reformed or Calvinist theology- a book review of a modern defence of Calvinism

July 15, 2005

R.C Sprouls book “What is Reformed Theology is the best available simple explanation of Reformed Theology I have seen. You may have never heard of Reformed theology or youmay have rejected out of court what you believe Calvinism stands for. The truth is that despite its current neglect the theology Sproul so clearly explains in [...]

One week on in London and the world has changed

July 14, 2005

I sat in a pub this lunchtime with a colleague from work. We were talking mainly about the office. Then, our conversation was errupted by a fairly loud bang. The shock and surprise on both of our faces in response to what was just a cannon announcing 2 minutes of silence said it all. I [...]

Blogspotting

July 14, 2005

Thanks to my friend pyromaniac for the image- good when someone helps you to copy them mercilessly! The Christian carnival is up and for once I remembered to submit a post. David Warnock lays down a challenge I cannot refuse. Blogotional thinks my Paul question is idle spectulation but is gracious enough to still want [...]

Did Paul meet Jesus when he was on earth?

July 13, 2005

All my Christian life people have told me Paul never met Jesus during his ministry. I have somehow instinctively never quite believed it. Why you ask? The main reason is psychological. Paul was driven by such hatred to persecute christians it seems hard to believe he hadn’t met the object of his fury. I suspect [...]

Blogspotting

July 12, 2005

One of the best thing about blogging is you get to mercilessly copy others good ideas. My blogspotting posts will be rather more like the modified version pyromaniac is planning on implementing. I will try and link to as many people who have linked to individual posts of mine, but make no guarentee of linking [...]

Announcing the winners of the free ESV contest

July 12, 2005

People wonder why I like the ESV so much. I realized today that there is one reason I forgot to mention despite already spending 45 posts explaining that! The reason that I forgot to mention is the kindness of the nice folks at Crossway! I know it shouldn’t influence things too much and it sure [...]

Galatians: the magna carta of Christian Liberty

July 11, 2005

Pyromaniac recommended I get ahold of a book on Galatians by Boice. The first paragraph is almost enough to sell it to me- sadly I doubt I can get a free review copy though! Just catch this classic Boice which I read on the Amazon website: Not many books have made such a lasting impression [...]

Book review: Work Excellence by Charles Garriott

July 11, 2005

Every now and then a book comes along that does exactly what it says on the tin. Work Excellence is one of those boooks. Most Christians pay too little attention to what goes on in the workplace. Garriott redresses that balance with a little book all about work. It addresses our need to abolish the [...]

Rick Warren on the myths of the Modern mega-church

July 10, 2005

Rick Warren shares his heart: “I’m in the life change business. I’m in the transformation business. You know what motivates me? not size; in fact, I don’t even like big churches. I mean, my favorite size was 300 people. What motivates me is that I am addicted to changing lives. I love seeing lives changed [...]

Disasters and the sovereignty of God

July 10, 2005

We have reposted my pastor Tope’s sermon on Gods sovreignty that he preached in respone to the Tsumami. Todays sermon continued in our normal series, but we spent some time at the beginning of the meeting praying for London before really going for it in praise to Jesus. We learnt a couple of African songs [...]

London Tube bombs were actually ‘almost simultaneous’

July 9, 2005

In another example of the confusion that is still only being ironed out it has now been reported on the BBC that the Tube bombs were ‘almost simultaneous’ and actually went off within 50 seconds of each other. They still dont know how many bodies they will find underground. I hope my gratitude that it [...]
