And, um….what is it? I don’t know if he’s serious, but he sure seems sincere.
I love how he inserts that, “Now basically…” like he’s trying to tame the description down.

J.I. Packer, explaining why the Puritans insisted on inserting so many Uses (or Applications) into every sermon and strung every precept out to be reworked from so many angles. Their insistence on doing so is aggravating to the modern readers who only like to lick the fat off the theory instead of enjoying the rich [...]

Ross’ orthopedic surgeon considers this a complicated break. The pictures in the previous post were enough to convince me. The bone is broken near and on the joint. He has asked an elbow specialist to take the case, and he will. This will make the likelihood of needing to purposefully break another bone during surgery [...]
A Not So Humorous Humerus Break
Posted in Family on March 20, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Tonight just before 6p, my brother Ross fell and broke his left arm while playing basketball at church. He was to the hospital within 30 minutes, and I was there before 7p. It’s two pretty severe breaks and a dislocation so tonight they set the bone back in place so it didn’t cause [...]

I Hope You Love Spurgeon

This is a wonderful devotional Spurgeon wrote…
“Search the Scriptures.” John 5:39
The Greek word here rendered search signifies a strict, close, diligent, curious search, such as men make when they are seeking gold, or hunters when they are in earnest after game. We must not rest content with having given a superficial reading to a chapter [...]

John Ruskin…
“The entire object of true education is to make people not merely to do the right things, but to enjoy them; not merely industrious, but to love industry; not merely learned, but to love knowledge; not merely pure, but to love purity; not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.”
Jonathan Edwards
