@rhettsnell and he says he put water on the fire…. sigh… http://t.co/7DiYBuyi # @rhettsnell probably all good for marketing his book. For a neoreformed POV of marriage I'd rather Keller or Piper. Less heat more substance in reply to rhettsnell # @rhettsnell 20 minutes in and interviewer's only focused on controversial Q's seems to me more about [...]

Fifteen pro-life truths

William Chong — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:12:41 +0000

From a booklet by John Piper (emphasis mine):

Existing fetal homicide laws make a man guilty of manslaughter if he kills the baby in a mother’s womb (except in the case of abortion). Fetal surgery is performed on babies in the womb to save them while another child the same age is being legally destroyed. Babies can sometimes survive on their own at [...]

Why should we expect to emerge unscathed?

William Chong — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:00:12 +0000

I read this quote the other day:

“Marriage, see, was God’s idea. It’s one of the most potent metaphors in all of Scripture for the way God loves us and the way we’re to let ourselves be loved by him. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. To the contrary, it’s fraught with peril. Any good marriage [...]

Off to Youth Leadership Conference (YLC) for year 2

William Chong — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 21:07:49 +0000

It’s been a year since we were introduced to this unique, week-long conference – where we learn to read and prepare a study from bible passage. It’s run by a network of (ed: mostly) evangelical Anglicans (rare as hen’s teeth in Western countries!) and [...]

US Holiday/WG11 Conference – DC take 2, travelling back, final reflections

William Chong — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 20:00:14 +0000

DC take 2

We spent another day visiting Washington DC, the capital of the US. We got to see the US Capitol Building, didn’t end up doing the visitor’s tour because of their inconvenient security requirements (no water bottles, even if they’re empty!)

A real highlight was visiting the Library of Congress (first seen in the film [...]
