Are we left here on our own?
Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is weighing heavy now
Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say
Come awake
From sleep, arise
You were dead
You’ve come alive
Wake up wake up
Open your eyes
Climb from your grave
Into the light
Bring us back to life
You are […]
The extent of corruption of the human heart shines ever so clearly in this song. “Let’s glorify ourselves and pretend that we are glorifying God.”

Spirits of Man and Beast
Published September 18th, 2007 in Resurrection and Conditional Immortality. 4 CommentsWhen God created the creatures on the sixth day, he told the earth to bring for the living creatures. In order for a creature to be living, it must have the breath of life (spirit). So God commanded the earth to bring forth living creatures with breath of life included and the earth obeyed his […]
Haiku is meant to tell about a seemingly ordinary moment (having to do with nature) in a way that makes it special. Humans are existential creatures. Sometimes, as we go about our daily routines, we see something special in an ordinary moment that we have failed to experience the last 100 times we have performed the routine. […]
Here is a refreshing word on the topic of terrorism from an Edward Fudge GracEmail entitled “Beyond Terror.” So many evangelicals seem to be drawn into the notion that we are actually at “war” with terror, our biggest enemy, and that America is somehow impervious to evil. I like Fudge’s perspective.
First, we lament the mind-numbing […]
The Bible is full of tensions. Tensions between law and grace, justification and sanctification, and the eschatological tension between this age and the age to come serve as a few examples. Another tension that seems to come up is that of the authority of the historical church and that of Scripture. I personally think that […]
I was thinking earlier today about how profanity in music is useless, immature, and usually displays a lack of lyrical talent. This can be seen in the fact that albums with a lot of profanity are released in edited versions. In a work of art, when an element is changed the meaning is changed. This […]
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.” - Luke 13:24
“Strive” teaches that all outside the strait gate are in great danger. They are in danger of being lost for ever. There is but a step between […]
Job 39:13-18 (ESV)
“The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
but are they the pinions and plumage of love?
[14] For she leaves her eggs to the earth
and lets them be warmed on the ground,
[15] forgetting that a foot may crush them
and that the wild beast may trample them.
[16] She deals cruelly with her young, as if they […]
R.C. Sproul from his book Essential Truths of the Christian Faith on the doctrine of soul sleep:
Soul sleep advocates argue that most English editions of the Bible have misplaced the comma [in]…”I say to you today, you will be with me in Paradise.
With this change in punctuation the “today” then refers to the time Jesus […]
