Jesus in Prime Time
Human Microchip Implants
Are you ready to pay for that new pair of kicks with your forearm? A company based out of Cincinnati had two of its employees fitted with RFID’s, radio frequency identification tags, as “a way of restricting access to vaults that held sensitive data and images for police departments.” This technology was first used thirty [...]
Preaching the Cross – A Real Minister
I am currently in the midst of reading multiple books. One of those books is Preaching the Cross by Mark Dever, J. Ligon Duncan III, C.J. Mahaney, and R. Albert Mohler. I have been anxious to read this book since I purchased it (on sale mind you) a few months ago. Since I desire to [...]
Do You Love Your Enemies?
A couple of weeks ago I began a personal study through the pastoral epistles. I set out with the intention of finding out what it means to be a pastor, a shepherd of souls. With that focus in mind, I started reading slowly through the first chapter of 1 Timothy. Paul opens his letter to [...]
Lessons From The Life of Margaret Baxter
I am currently in the process of finishing J.I. Packer’s book, A Grief Sanctified. The subject of Packer’s writing is Richard Baxter. Baxter was a pastor and author during the days of the Puritans. He had a wife named Margaret to whom he was married for 19 years before she died of illness. Shortly after her death, Richard [...]

Federer is going for a 5th straight Wimbledon title which would match Bjorn Borg’s streak of consecutive championships. This is an [...]
Derek Fisher Puts Family First
Professional athlete can sound something like an oxymoron. In today’s world of sports, most “professional” athletes are anything but professional. Many of them act like spoiled little children who throw a fit if they don’t get their way. Some of them cry about being underappreciated because they were offered $60 million instead of $75 million to [...]
Alister McGrath and Richard Dawkins Debate
I have been meaning to post this debate for a few weeks now. I listened to it some time ago and found it quite interesting. Though I was familiar with both Dawkins and McGrath, I had not heard either of them lecture before this debate. I have since listened to both of them several times [...]
“Say Hello to My Little Friends”
This past week I got to partake of the benefits of living in Nashville. There are very few cities in this country, and maybe the world, that can boast of such a full music scene. On any given night you can catch either a local artist or a touring band in one of many clubs [...]
