RealApologetics Recommended: Economics and Christian Zionism »

On economics. Credit to brother Chris R. for showing me these today (Part 1, Part 2). Not sure how I missed them. Simply hilarious – and very informative! So many lies in our society today about money, government, etc. Should have some stuff coming up soon in exegetical theology in 1 Corinthians, etc. The holiday [...]

An Open Letter to Google »

Dear Google, Our species has lived far too long without saying this. Your Google Books project is truly amazing. Millions of college and seminary students use this resource everyday for research.

A Couple References on References »

As I finish my master’s thesis, two particular pages online have been the most efficient way of getting the right citation information (without having to buy Turabian’s actual book): one for The Master’s Seminary students (here), and another random one here. (Why anyone still uses MLA and APA these days is beyond me…they’ve always annoyed [...]

The Truth About Human Freedom »

Most of the unbelieving friends I know are convinced that autonomy is true freedom. We must have the ability to do one thing as much as another, to do evil as much as good. We must be a law unto ourselves. Only then, we are told, do we have true freedom. Similar sentiments are obviously [...]
