Wow. It feels good to be posting again. Due to recent events and ponderings, I've decided to try and post a bit more. But because of college and being busy and wanting to do everything and only having time for some things, I'm going to try to keep the posts shorter, while the subjects may be a bit broader and random.
Dr. Jack Simons (a communications Professor at TMC) gave a great chapel message yesterday. The messages in chapel this week are a series on Christians engaging the culture. Simons talked about the importance of Christians knowing what is going on in our world and thinking biblically about it. He gave a plethora of practical tips for how to do this, everywhere from reading magazines to reading blogs. This blog and hopefully blogs to come are a fruit of that encouragement.
He also recommended some more poltical-type blogs, including The Federal Review and Powerline, so I might be reading those a bit more.
Another blog I checked out today for the first time is the Together for the Gospel Blog, where Mark Dever, Al Mohler, C.J. Mahaney, and Ligon Duncan post. (By the way, Mark Dever says that chapel at TMC "was the most impressive Christian college chapel I have seen. Hundreds of students obviously eager to hear God's Word. " How's that for pretty cool?) I'll be sure to be checking out that more.
I also read a great blog today at Godsong Music about prayer by Bradford Smith. Check it out.
That's all for now. "(Wisdom's) ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." -Proverbs 3:17
