Doctrine: Cross
Though not originally scheduled, because I was in town we had Doctrine class last night. What I went through in PowerPoint form was adapted from a PDF I made last year called The Person and Work of Christ. That itself was a condensed and rearranged form of Robert Peterson’s book Salvation Accomplished by The Son: The Work…

March Mid-Month Mailbag
I meant to post this yesterday, but other matters were more pressing (like teaching of course, and then speaking at Shift). I recently earned a Westminster Bookstore gift certificate, and here’s how I spent it: The Psalter Reclaimed: Praying and Praising the Psalms by Gordon Wenham Faithmapping: A Gospel Atlas For Your Spiritual Journey…

Resolutions Review: 2 Month Report Card
If you remember way back in the beginning of the year, I posted about my first quarter 90-day challenge. Ideally, it would be better to review every month or so, but the beginning of February was unusually hectic, so here I am 2 months in doing some re-evaluation. I thought I’d reproduce by challenge below,…

February Mailbag
Though I had originally intended to abstain from book requests this first quarter, that only last about a month. I am though more targeted in my requests and don’t feel the burden to turn a book into a review so quickly. Hopefully this will improve the quality of my reviews and streamline the process. This…

How To Have A Better Day Off
A few Mondays ago, I decided to put together a little tutorial on how to have a great day off. Today seems like a good day to offer a Twitter tutorial on how to have refreshing day off. Step #1: Get up early #HowToMakeADayOff — Nate Claiborne (@nateclaiborne) February 4, 2013 Mondays have typically been…

Doctrine: Scripture
Last night we continued in Doctrine class, finishing out our section on revelation by focusing specifically on the doctrine of Scripture. We mostly walked through my position paper, which you can download in PDF here: Doctrinal Statement on Scripture. Since I made that statement, I’ve read, and sometimes reviewed, several very helpful books on the doctrine…

Doctrine: Revelation
In case you missed last night’s Doctrine class, here are the slides we went through: Revelation. Since this chapter really focused more on the doctrine of Scripture, we focused primarily on revelation itself, and put off things like inspiration and inerrancy until next week. In my own understanding of revelation, I’ve found the thought of Cornelius…

Doctrine: What Is The Trinity?
Last night we entered the wide world of trinitarian studies in our Doctrine class at CrossPointe Waterford Lakes. Just like I did last Monday, I’m posting the lecture slides. In addition, this time I’ve got some additional resources that might be helpful and/or interesting for any of you all who want to read further. First…

Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe
Last night we kicked off our Doctrine class at CrossPointe Waterford Lakes. We had a pretty good turnout, even Voldemort was there judging by the signup sheet (although I distinctly do not remember seeing him). This post is mainly for people in the class, but if that’s not you, feel free to eavesdrop. We’re using…

Narnia, Muggles, and Hobbits, Oh My!
Consider this a kind of counterpoint to yesterday’s post. To keep my reading well balanced and enjoyable, I’m also reading several fiction classics. Rather than do that alone, I’m part of a Facebook group put together by Mathew Sims (that shares a name with this post’s title) that is reading The Chronicles of Narnia, The…
