Before I articulate what I have been thinking about recently, I need to put in a small disclaimer before I launch into my thoughts:I am not against formal education. I am still working on two degrees presently.I have dealt with this issue many years ago and now I am seeing the same dynamic all over again. When I first dealt with this dynamic back in 1987 shortly after my conversion, I was able

These are not original with me. I heard them on a podcast from Harvest Baptist Church on Guam (Pastor Marty Herron). They are very good. His context in using them was two-fold: 1) He said that by the time your children are grown and leave home, they should either be able to answer these questions or have the resources available to find the answers. 2) This was part of a series that their

Recently I had the opportunity to have lunch with Neil Lynch at Fogo De Chao. They recently opened up here in Minneapolis and it was a good opportunity to try it on a Friday afternoon. As we walked to the front entrance, we saw the meat roasting on skewers right by the front entrance. I was already looking forward to this lunch!A bit of background.

Time permitting, I will put up one a day for the next several days.Topics and titles : Talk Radio, Work, and a Restaurant Review...I had an unsolicited offer from someone whom I do not know to write a guest piece, but since they have not responded, that will go by the wayside for now.Maybe one of these days, the traffic

I have always enjoyed things English or British. Possibly because some of my relatives were from across the pond as they say. I was in England and Wales back in 1998 and had a great trip and enjoyed preaching there as well as seeing the sights.My job is such where I am able while working to listen to a great deal of audio and I was coming up short many days where I did not have enough podcasts

In our ABF (Adult Bible Fellowship) class we are concluding a series on marriage and then in June we will be starting a series on Titus. Titus is a short book, only 3 chapters in length, but a rich book full of theological truths and practical implications regarding church order. It is the third of the Pastoral Epistles and the shortest book within the Pastorals. I noticed recently that there

I have been struggling with debt in recent years. It is all mine from before our marriage. I am not acquiring any new debt, but just trying to get what I have paid off. I have been reading a few personal finance blogs, listening to the Dave Ramsey Show, and in process of trying to find the best method for dealing and getting out of debt, I came across the No Credit Needed Network I really do

I am not a big fan of Democrats because I do not agree with what they stand for. Here in MN, the Democrats that just got elected decided that they needed more of our money to prop up either the schools or some other pet project. They are submitting an unbelievable amount of bills for tax increases. We are already being taxed enough in this state, but the Democrats think they need money. I am

Well, I was pretty excited about my new job and I got to work about 15 mins early today. I started training right away and spent most of the day learning how things are done. What I like about this job is that I have to use my brain and think more. I am also learning a new system, new procedures, etc. It was also nice to leave work at 5:30 instead of 7:00pm. It is very quiet on the 3rd floor

This has been a busy week for our family, so I will try to recap it backwards, starting with todayFriday 3/2 - We have been in the new place for one week, still getting adjusted and getting used to new surroundings, etc. I have to go to work today even though the weather is supposed to be bad and we have over a foot of snow on the ground. No seminary classes today because of the weather. The

I promise I will keep this short, but this has been an unbelievable week at work.Many of you know that I work a very stressful job doing business to business collections for a major corporation and that I have been looking for another position either within the company or outside the company.I cannot divulge all of the details, but I have accepted an offer with a different department in our

I always seem to have book piles or stacks on my desk. Right now, several things are going on. We are getting ready to move, so half of my books are already packed in boxes and in a large plastic bin (we move on 2/23) I hope I do not need any of those books before then!The other half of my books are still sitting in the bookshelf (for now) and I have two stacks on my desk. One stack is my reading

Well, I must confess that I have not possessed a great deal of motivation to write here lately. I am not sure exactly why. Was it because I had so many things that I wanted to say, but could not find the time to sit down and put all of my thoughts together and compose something worth reading. Or was it because I really did not have anything to say after all.Upcoming eventsWe will be moving

Someone reminded me casually that it has been a while since I have posted, so I thought I needed to do so.When I exercise, I like to listen to sermons. Yesterday morning I was listening to a sermon by Dr. Peter Masters, who happens to be the pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England.

The Ryder Cup just concluded and again, we lost... We have lost the last three times. It makes me ask the question, "With us having the top players in the world on our team, why did we still lose?"1. I think we lost because the Americans were not adequately prepared2. I think we lost because the American players are not team conscious, but rather individualistic in their mindset. 3. I think

My mother passed away on September 20, 2006 at 8:50 pm. I am very thankful that I was able to be here when she died and that I was able to talk with her also before she died as well.She died very peacefully and without a struggle. Cancer is a cruel, debilitating disease. It can take a person and make them into nothing. It ravages the body with such unbelievable force and cruelty and in such a

I apologize for not updating this sooner. I went to CA on 8/24 to be with my mom who had just undergone cancer surgery. I was numb most of the time I was there because I was still having trouble processing the fact that my mom was as sick as she was. She had been with us at the end of July and seemed to be fine as far as we can tell.It was hard to see my mom in a hospital bed with lines and

Or another title could be "What a difference a day makes" Today, I received some sobering news. My mother, who is normally very healthy, was admitted to the hospital and they are doing major surgery tomorrow.

Where did the summer go?It is hard for me to believe that in about 18 days I will be returning to seminary classes! It seems like the summer flew by. I am looking forward to being in class again. I have a moderately difficult load this semester about 9 hours with first year Hebrew, a counseling class, a class on dispensations, and our pastoral internship class.

I am scheduled to preach in the evening service at our church this Sunday. I am preaching from James 1:21-25 on the importance of doing the Word of God versus merely hearing it. If anyone has any good thoughts on this passage, feel free to pass them along.

This is a big question, but one that deserves to be answered.I have in my files, letters sent to me by potential employers which I have entitled the "thanks but no thanks" letters.I have noticed that all of these companies have one thing in common.

I enjoy sports on occasion. I do not agree with the exorbitant salaries that some of these athletes are being paid and I think that is a major reason as to why there are so many problems in sports, but that is an issue for another day and time.Here in Minnesota, the Legislature has been consumed with possible bills regarding funding for three stadiums for the Twins, Vikings, and the U of M

Here is my contribution to the discussion:I think that my seminary education is a valuable resource and a tool. Yes, I said a tool.

Well, the title says it all....I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It all came about when back in December when we were expecting twins. I went to see my insurance agent to make some changes in my life insurance and that involves taking a blood test and other things. Long story short, the test came back positive.

I wonder how many people decided to stay home from their church's regularly scheduled Sunday evening service to watch the Super Bowl?I am not referring to churches that do not have a Sunday evening service on a regular basis.I think it shows where people's priorities are at if they do miss church for an event like the Super Bowl.Our church celebrated the Lord's Supper this evening.

I was injured and laying in a hospital bed waiting for surgery on my broken left ankle and foot. I can remember being scared because I had not had any surgery in quite some time and honestly I did not want to be put under a general anesthetic. Thankfully, I did not have to endure general anesthesia, but rather a spinal and some feel good medicine and I was off to sleep for a little bit while

We are scheduled to go to Ohio next week for a laser procedure to take care of this.We are both anxious and exhausted, yesterday was an emotional day for us. We are thankful for a good pastor and church who are supporting us along with our families.We know that this is in the

On another forum, someone raised the question, "Why do people follow other people blindly?"Here is my response:People will follow people not necessarily blindly, as someone put it, but they follow a movement or an individual because either they have checked their brain at the door, or they do not know any better.I look back at my own life and remember when I thought that Hyles was a good man and

Well, lets see.... seminary ended last week and for that I am thankful. It has been a busy and a hard semester, but I am confident that I did well in my classes. This semester, I had set a goal not to procrastinate and attempt to get things done ahead of time, and it was successful. I get a break from seminary until the end of January. Also, I am involved in a pastoral internship program for

The semester is almost over, I have one more project to complete tomorrow evening and that will conclude my workload for the semester (other than studying for final exams) On December 16th, the semester will be completed that afternoon and then I will have some time off before seminary resumes at the end of January.I found this article while doing some research for a paper.

Well, it is that time of the semester where things are coming due. I just finished a term paper for Hermeneutics and still have some reading to finish for a couple of classes. I have one more paper to finish and then final exams. By December 16th, everything will be done and I should be able to take a breather for the remainder of December and most of January. Hopefully I will also have

If you live in the state of Minnesota and possibly other states, you are subject to what is commonly referred to as an "at-will employment relationship" This relationship basically gives the employer the right to demote, terminate, transfer, with or without reason. It also allows the employee to terminate his job without giving the standard and customary two week notice. This arrangement seems

I am working (as time permits) on a couple of essays...1) Congregational choice or family business -- on the growing trend of Baptist churches of allowing Pastors to choose their replacement or successor before they retire or resign...2) Musical values - where do we obtain our values when it comes to music: from the world or from the BibleComing soon....

I have no problem in expressing my opinion. I do not have an opinion on everything, but if something strikes me just right, then I will do the American thing and comment on it. Those of you who live in Minnesota are probably aware of the Governor's attempt to call a special legislative session for the purpose of making a decision regarding funding for a new stadium for the University of

Today my wife and I along with members of our Sunday school class and church, bid goodbye to a dear couple and their children. This dear couple, John and Tammy, are moving to the East Coast, where John has a new job opportunity waiting for him. When I first heard the news almost a month ago, I thought it was a mistake, then it was confirmed that they were moving away. It is hard to say "good

Well, I am back up and running. I have reinstalled most of my software and got Quicken data back on line as well, but now I have a new laptop... I have a Toshiba now, which incidentally enough, when I bought my first laptop in 1998, it was a Toshiba. It was a great machine and really worked well for me until 2002, when the technology made it a dinosaur and extremely slow to use. I received a

Well, I just found out that my laptop is now almost dead, on life support you could say. There is a problem with the power supply and I am not sure if it is even repairable or cost-effective to do so. I am typing this from the seminary library right now, so my posts will be limited until I find out my options.If anyone has any suggestions regarding the purchase of a new laptop, please let me

Well, I have been having some computer issues. All of the sudden my DELL laptop has started going into standby mode and then I have to reboot, with no warning, no rhyme or reason.This is happening at the worst possible time with seminary just getting underway. I do not have the extra funds to go out and purchase a new laptop. Not sure how much repairing it will cost either, I hear that is not

Recently, I was listening a to podcast from John McArthur regarding Preaching. During this podcast, he spoke of different "isms" that have characterized the church over various decades. Tell me what you think, agree or disagree?In the 1940's the church was characterized by politicism (Hitler,etc.)In the 1950's the church was characterized by ecumenicalism - love everyone, don't worry about

I know that I have waited too long between writings about our vacation. Please forgive me if I left you hanging. Well, we enjoyed a nice dinner that evening at Bistro 1111 which is the restaurant that was located in our hotel. Thursday evening, they had some beef specials. My wife had a Steak Diane and I had a Prime Rib which was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay in Santa Barbara and we

I am slowly getting the hang of formatting with these pictures. As I said earlier, we trekked northward to Ventura and our destination was The Pierpont Inn.My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and we enjoyed it so much that we really wanted to go back again. We tried to make reservations but each time we were turned away because they had no vacancies. I was talking to my mom one day and

I was glad that I had scheduled myself only for a half-day. While in the midst of getting ready for the trip, the power went out here at our

My wife and I will be away from the 22nd thru the 30th. We are taking a vacation to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary (the 24th) and I am not taking my computer with me on the trip.So when we return, if I am smart enough and talented like Phil Johnson at Pyromaniac I might be able to post some of the pictures here from my vacation!Enjoy the week but don't forget to check back here after 7/30!

Right now while seminary is out, I usually try to read as much as I can because when classes are in session, my reading is usually limited to the academic realm and the loads of collateral reading that I have to do within the course of a semester. During the semester/school year, I make a pile of books on my desk which is my "to be read before seminary starts again pile." Here is what is in the

When I first heard of the news, I knew that Phil Johnson of the Pyromanic blog and his wife were in London, I prayed for their safety and was glad to hear that they were safe. They are travelling back to the US on Friday. Phil has done a great job in telling us about the events first hand from his vantage point and also has told us about his trip to the School of Theology at the Metropolitan

I have thought a lot about this particular question in light of a couple of areas in my own life personally. I am a seminary student and I also work a full-time job for a major corporation. On the academic front, there are people (both students and professors) that are very gifted and intelligent people. They are able to command the respect of their peers and other colleagues because of their

There are several different things on my mind today, so I will try to address each one in this post.Does anyone know the difference between Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable?This is a major pet-peeve of mine.

I have been observing a phenomenon recently that is disturbing. I have noticed in both Christian circles and secular circles that it seems when people get promoted they lose all of their common sense and intelligence. They expect things to be done a certain way without any consultation with the people who actually have to do the work, even though they may have asked for something that is almost

Undoubtedly, March 31, 2005 will be a sad day for the parents and other close relatives of Terri Schiavo. This was the day that she was allowed to die a cruel, merciless death and no one could intervene; not even the President of the United States. We do not lay blame for this tragedy at his doorstep, but rather the judicial system of this country that would allow a woman who was living and

Mr. Gilson is the executive director of the Minnesota News Council.I am sick and tired of people crying about the media being attacked.

Recently I have heard and read a lot of discussion about the Sunday evening service (commonly held in Independent and Southern Baptist Churches--for the sake of discussion , I am only speaking about Independent Baptist Churches). There are two sides in this debate that seems to run full circle every so often on forums like the Fundamentalist Forums.There are some that believe that the Sunday

Around the end of January, I slipped on some ice in the parking lot of our apartment complex and subsequently broke my foot and ankle and it required me to have surgery. Needless to say, when I was in the emergency room and heard this news, I was not a happy camper. I am not one who gets squeamish about blood or doctors, but I was not really fond of the idea of having to have surgery. After
