Well, we made the journey from Ft. Worth area to N. California in one piece. It took us a day more than we expected because our little five year old was sick along the way. I thank God that I didn’t hit anyone or anything in the 26 ft. Penske, loaded to the hilt, that I drove for 2,000 miles. I only had one brow-mopping episode when exiting a gas station at Santa Nella, Ca. I had to make a …

Ben Witherington posted this at his blog and I thought I’d pass it on. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/bibleandculture/2012/09/27/turkey-by-air-the-land-of-st-paul/ …
Just in case there is someone out there wondering why I have not posted anything for a while I should explain that I am still touring the Western Seaboard and have intermittent access to a computer. I am working on several things which I hope to get up soon. P. …
It defies common sense that people in the West are still so easily taken in by the “religion of peace.” What the Muslims are up to is anybody’s guess, but it surely presages something a lot worse. Anyway, this article in The Jerusalem Post ought to be pondered. …
Over the next few days, I will at long last be overhauling this site. The new format will have several new features, including easier access to articles, book reviews, etc. and will hopefully look a bit snazzier. I even hope to post audio files in the near future! So watch this space, and thanks for reading. Your brother, Paul …
What a remarkable event the new birth is! What a reversal, a triumph, an utter transformation! I (I should say “we”), who am a continuing stain on God’s landscape (Rom. 3:10-18) – contributing nothing but a deepening of the stain (Matt. 6:11a) – I have been born from above (1 Pet. 1:23)! I have been cleansed and forgiven (Heb. 9:11-15)! God has given me a new life and He has adopted me as His dear son (Rom. 8:15-17). According to …
These are the top commentaries for the Pastor on Ephesians: 1. Harold Hoehner – A massive work, both in size and erudition. It is very well written and quite user-friendly. Every issue is chased down thoroughly, and the Pauline authorship of the book is convincingly upheld. A real standard! 2. Peter T. O’Brien (Pillar) – O’Brien is an expert on the Prison Epistles. This, I think, surpasses his work on Colossians in the WBC series. Attractive style and what might …
Cornelius Van Til: Reformed Apologist and Churchman, by John R. Muether, Phillipsburg, PA: P&R, 2008. Any biographer of a man like Cornelius Van Til needs to assume certain things. First, Van Til’s thought, though brilliant, is not always easy to divine. Second, that this is made more problematical by the coming together of at least two different obstacles: a. Van Til’s sometimes awkward way of putting things, and, b. the difficulty many of us have with obeying the injunction to …
For those of you who want some sober assessment of ‘The Golden Compass,’ here’s an excellent discussion from Albert Mohler… …
My friend Tom Pryde is an accomplished blogger. My beautiful wife Gina always has something interesting to say. Many other pals of mine have cool blogs. As for lil’ ol me, well, I’m not sure I really grasp this whole culture of blogdom, blogtown, blog..whatever, but I do enjoy it. So, I’m gonna give it a try. My blogs will likely center on what I’m doing at Veritas School of Theology or on what I’m reading or what I’m meditating …
