The First Week of BlogX: Complete!
Well, week one of BlogX is now complete! I’ve really enjoyed being challenged in my blogging and getting new ideas to implement in my writing flow. Here are some of the changes I’ve made this week: I’ll now be blogging on the weekends. I’ll also be posting daily quotes from my reading under the category…

Now With Weekend Updates
I’ve decided to start blogging on the weekends, but mainly to share pictures and links that I’ve found interesting throughout the week. I am leaning towards discontinuing posts on my Tumblr, and redirecting everything here instead. This will necessitate creating a new category for pictures, which I think, appropriately, should be called “Worth a Thousand…

The Start of Something New
Last Thursday night, we had the privilege of being prayed over (as you can see here) by the youth of our church (CrossPointe Waterford Lakes) as we were introduced as the new youth leaders for our church. I’ve been involved with the worship band since early August, but had really wanted an opportunity to use…

Are You a Mentor or a Shapeshifter?
We tend to be exceptionally egocentric in how we view our own lives. I doubt I am alone in sometimes thinking of my life as the plot of a movie. I’m the protagonist of course, because everything’s all about me right? The harsh truth of the Christian worldview is that while you may feel like…

Born This Way?
Lady GaGa’s first single off her latest album has turned into a kind of gay anthem, or rather, the song was already a gay anthem and Lady GaGa is just the one who gets paid for singing it. You do have to give her at least that. Not everyone can take something a whole demographic…

Business for the Common Good
As part of the Christian Worldview Integration Series, Kenman Wong and Scott Rae’s contribution focuses on a Christian view of the business world. As the authors themselves say: The idea that business can be a calling is becoming more widely appreciated and accepted. Yet the question of what exactly business is a calling to needs…

Updated Bio
As part of TentBlogger’s BlogX, a 90-day blogging bootcamp, I’ve updated my About page. Being that it overlaps my other 90-day challenge, this should be an interesting time for some blogging growth, which ultimately means better content for you. I’d love feedback from any of you readers about changes you’d like to see. Read over…

Historical Theology: Authority and Inerrancy of Scripture
[This post is part of the Historical Theology series] Like I pointed out in the last post, each chapter in Allison’s Historical Theology follows the same pattern. Because of this, I’m going to refrain in future posts from giving you a play by play. You can read the book if that is what you’re interested…

The Academy Is…Almost Here
[This post is part of the College: Alphabetized by Album series] Attention! Attention! May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room, if only, if only for one second. So go the opening lines of Almost Here by The Academy Is… This album also made its way into my iTunes…

The Doctrine of the Word of God
John Frame is the J.D. Trimble Chair of Systematic Theology and Philosophy at RTS right here in Orlando (and by Orlando, I mean Oveido). He used to teach at Westminster California and before that, Westminster Philadelphia. He has, as some might say, been around the block, and is quite the prolific writer in the Reformed…
