I was reading through the Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards this week, and I must say I found them inspirational to say the least, and also very very convicting. Hard to believe he began writing them when he was only 19. I guess we live in a far less profound and thoughtful time.
I want to consider [...]

The Olivet Discourse – Matthew 24
It has been on my mind for awhile to deal with the whole issue of eschatology, and to be honest, as I approached the issue, I began to realize how little I understand.

Yesterday I was in a car accident, to get that out of the way… I am totally physically unharmed and so was the other person, we were both alone in our respective cars, suffice to say we collided and that is all I really care to say about it. Now it is horrible, I am [...]

The Folly of the ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ Philosophy
There is a common phrase in our day and age, people say that their only rule and the way they live there life is: “Do unto others as you would have done unto you”. In Luke 6:31 Jesus revealed this rule when He said “And as you wish that others would do to you, do [...]
