For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. – 2 Corinthians 7:10 There is such a thing as worldly grief. I may know that something I did was wrong, but be sorry for the wrong reasons. I may be sorry that I was caught or that… Read More »
Today, I finished off Contracts class with a 3 hour final. I am done with Contracts! (Presupposing that God enabled me to pass the exam.) 3 classes completed, 3 more finals to go. I am excited that summer break is arriving. The weather doesn’t help! Please pray that I study hard through next Friday. Today,… Read More »
Here’s a trajedy of unspeakable proportions… gender problems in China. This look interesting… America by Religions and Denominations. I wonder if I can use my law degree to start up Christian schools and churches. There are so many areas where ministries need legal counsel: By-laws and constitutions, property, taxes, etc… I am also very interested… Read More »
With finals coming, I feel the pressure to stress and worry. I am tempted to think, “if only… then I will be happy.” If only my exams were over… My desires for the end of a semester and a period of rest are good ones, but am I forgetting that my sovereign God is in… Read More »

A simply example may prove my point– consider the balance of Scripture on the topic of our bodies. The body… Read More »

For example: MacArthur, Duncan, Sproul, Piper, professors and pastors who shepherd me…) These men are scholars of the first rate. Intellectuals for Christ. In listening to one of Grudem’s sermons, what struck… Read More »
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. – 1 Peter 2:9 The Bible forbids mixed marriages. Not interracial marriages, but marriages between Christians and non-Christians. In… Read More »
Email is an important means of communication. It has helped me to keep in touch with friends, set appointments, and be informed of the news. But I have gotten to the point of being overwhelmed by email! It is simply too time consuming to read all my email! I have a love/hate relationship with technology.… Read More »
Check out this amazing imagery from Scripture’s anthropomorphic language. Consider this an update on my previous post on our tininess. The scripture, it speaks for itself here. Latin experts, would the phrase “res ipsa loquitur” work here? Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house… Read More »
