Some time ago, the leadership of our church decided to switch from the New King James Version and begin using the English Standard Version of the Bible in services. Years ago, I’m thinking well over twenty, I began using the New King James, much to the chagrin of the church where I was raised, which was KJV only. But hey. I was an adult and married and I could finally make my own decisions, thank you very much. (Clearly, I... Read more

Absolutely. And in the process, I’ll have spent... Read more
Religion is for the weak. Christianity, though more of a relationship than a religion, is especially for the weak. Read more
Three weeks or so ago, I decided to start listening to R.C. Sproul. I’ve mostly tuned in to some seminary sessions of his that cover the Providence of God, which you can find here, if you’d like. He’s an excellent speaker when it comes to anything, but especially Providence. He will make you think, but not so much you walk away with a throbbing headache.
