Doctors fail four-question test

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

I deeply hope I’m being snookered, but it seems not. In a Journal of Medical Ethics article entitled “After-birth abortion: why should babies live?” it is suggested that babies are not “actual persons” and do not have a “moral right to life”. (I saw this here, which referred to here. I looked up the links above [...]

I’m just sayin’

God bless the NCV folks for wanting to reach out to a new generation. But I just get this feeling that something is lost.

So then I went to Oshkosh

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

The EAA air show in Oshkosh in Wisconsin, that is. flyGarmin was going to be released to the public for the first time in conjunction with the beginning of the air show. Garmin had a Monday morning press conference announcing all sorts of stuff, and flyGarmin was on the list. I was pacing around the [...]

Thoughts about a meeting

Monday, December 10th, 2007

We’re considering a change in our church that would change our church government to an “elder-based” system. The Bible doesn’t say a whole lot about how to organize a local church, but it seem pretty plain that elders were the group saddled with leadership. We currently have a fairly common set-up where leadership authority and [...]

What a weekend

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

I sat with family at a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sat late at night reading to an aged, dying family member. She passed twelve hours later. I sat at the wedding of a couple from church. I hardly know what to say.

J. P. Moreland-a-palooza

Monday, August 6th, 2007

[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._P._Moreland [2]: http://www.veritas.org/3.0_media/presenters/57 A friend recently asked me what I thought of [J. P. Moreland][1]. Unbelievably, I had little to say. :) I’ve come across Moreland’s arguments in various places, but I’d never heard or read anything directly from him. Well, I’ve been listening to a whole bunch of his [Veritas Forum lectures (free [...]

New Atheism?

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

[1]: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010341 Last Friday (I think) I heard a long interview of Christopher Hitchens concerning his latest book God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. He is a well-spoken and witty man, but during the interview he failed to progress much further than anger and weak logic, all with a dogmatic yet inexplicably founded [...]

RedeemerBaptist.org gets a facelift

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

And a whole lot more. :) [http://www.redeemerbaptist.org](http://www.redeemerbaptist.org) I’ve finally switched on a group of changes I’ve been thinking about and working on for a long time. We had a site up, but it was basically straight WordPress, which just didn’t work well for what we were looking for. Well, it’s still WordPress, but with a [...]

You should come to the upcoming IJM benefit

William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury (1942–1944)

“Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness, nourishment of mind by His truth, purifying of imagination by His beauty, opening of the heart to His love, and submission of will to His purpose. And all this gathered up in adoration is the [...]
