A Universe from Nothing
Last week I mentioned that when I dropped my daughters off for piano lessons, I waited at a Barnes and Noble and looked at A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing. Living and working in the area I do, just north of Berkeley in the SF Bay Area, I talk to […]

“Evangel” icalism, pt 2
Does evangelicalism really have a great and special emphasis on the gospel? In part one, I said no, and gave three examples. Are there any more? Sure.

Just Preach…..
Before you get to reading this post (and please do), a little house cleaning. I’ve been reading a series by the pastor of a church in Great Britain, Jon Gleason, to which I want to recommend you. He’s been preaching on bibliology and has written corresponding posts to those sermons: inspiration, inerrancy, authority, preservation. These […]
