A Meditation upon Psalm 119:148: “My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.”
Psalm 119:48, “My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.” The psalmist here declares his determined purpose to meditate upon the statutes of the Lord.

Faith the Only Reliable Epistemology: It’s Got to Be Faith, pt. 5
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Among other points, I have written in this series that we can’t trust sight or evidence, versus faith, for knowledge because of our own depravity, the trampling of “evidence,” that is, we don’t live in a closed system, and then added […]
Brainless Damaging Social Networking

People can talk about justification by faith or being saved by faith, and that is good. It’s biblical. We are justified by faith, we are saved by faith. That’s right. Faith, however, is even much bigger than that. Faith doesn’t sit next to religion about as trustworthy as personal taste. Faith isn’t conventional wisdom. Faith […]
