    psalm 19:14 [the declaration]

    Now, let us again ask the questions that we began with. These questions were… So how does David get to this point of overwhelming trust in God in his declaration, “O LORD, my rock and my redeemer”? And how does he make such a confession of trust and in such [...]

    where would Jesus spend his time on halloween?

    engaged in culture, worldviews 24 comments

    The perspectives in the church on Halloween are pretty extreme. Most Christians either love it, hate it, or create a Christian-alternative for it (which is sort-of celebrating it without saying you’re celebrating it).

    Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. – George Santayana While it’s not likely that Santayana and I hold the same religious beliefs, his ideas about history do resonate with me. In my pursuit of my degree in [...]
