Miscellaneous Personal Notes

Having completed my series on Calvinism and Arminianism, I am now (by request) working on a series on basic Christianity. It is likely to be a long series of at least ten articles. I hope to post the first of them later this week.

I just launched a new Web site for a friend of mine who is an aspiring photographer. You can see his site at Digital Perspectives. I am very happy with the design and how it all came together. Simon is thrilled too, so it’s all good!

Thanks to those who sent alone birthday greetings yesterday. I had as good a birthday as I can remember having. I even somehow managed to get three cakes!


  • Bible

    No Guarantee of Life and Vigor

    Many cold and lifeless churches testify to the fact that the mere presence of the Bible is no guarantee of spiritual life and vigor. Many churches have a Bible tucked neatly into every pew, but teach a message radically at odds with the words of that very Book.

    You Were Made To Tremble
