Appropriate Requests

Today at evening worship, Dr. Schultz reminded me to pray for things that are in accord with God’s will. God blessed Solomon because when granted one request, he did not ask for wealth, long life, and power. God willingly grants us the things we need and request if we ask in a spirit that is… Read More »

Thanksgiving Weekend and Beyond

For Thanksgiving, Dr. Schultz and his family had me over for dinner. I am still full. =) During football at his house, I almost lost my two front teeth. They are upright but they wiggle a little bit if pressure is applied to them. Please pray that they will not fall out. Haha…what a reminder… Read More »

Thanksgiving and Rejoicing, a Must for Believers

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will… Read More »

We are Romantics

In “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” Joshua Harris criticizes the selfish, unwise, and unbiblical nature of worldly dating. (He defines worldly dating as dating that is characterized by a high level of physical intimacy, no boundaries, and a low commitment level in pursuing marriage.) In contrast, the Bible explains that the joy of intimacy is the… Read More »

Global Warming

“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” – Genesis 8:22 This week at Bible study, Dr. Schultz reminded us of God’s general providence in the world today.

Hospitality: to Entertain and Edify

I enjoy being hospitable. I love it when some of my law school buddies sit around my house just to chat. At Grove City College, the local churches served as my family when my parents were far away. They fed me, encouraged me, and brought my mind back to the real world. My parents tell… Read More »

Painful Readings

I often lose my patience when professors assign the silliest assignments from the casebook. How can a two credit class have more reading than the average three credit class? They make it more painful than they have to. I can learn just as much by reading half as much. Is it proper to feel frustruated… Read More »

Waiting on God

Ever feel like you want to just grow up and be done with all the studying… and just have what you want NOW!!? Some of my friends called me patient after observing me on the basketball court… but in reality, I need more patience in life. There is nothing wrong with striving towards a goal,… Read More »

Pierced by the Word, Yet Again.

He must increase, but I must decrease. – John 3:30 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. – Proverbs 1:7 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that… Read More »
