Contemplations Along The Way

Happiness is not just a feeling

Jeremy — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:22:44 +0000

I wonder, if we viewed “happiness” as the ancients did, would the “problem” of evil and suffering be such a problem? In fact, I think I agree with Peter Kreeft when he says — or perhaps repeats — that suffering isn’t a problem, it’s a mystery (Making Sense of Suffering). It is a mystery because [...] No Related Posts Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Book Review: The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World

Jeremy — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:05:34 +0000

Pages: 179 Publisher: Crossway Year: 2007 Editors: John Piper & Justin Taylor Authors: David Wells, Voddie Baucham Jr., John Piper, D.A. Carson, Tim Keller, Mark Driscoll ------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm really not sure what to think of this book.

Stephen Meyer interviewed by R.C. Sproul

Jeremy — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 03:31:51 +0000

An interesting interview I first heard of on Justin Taylor's blog. This interview is described as, "RC Sproul sits down with Stephen Meyer, author of the book, "Signature in the Cell", and they discuss philosophy, evolution, education, Intelligent Design, and more." Enjoy. Seriously, it's really good. Listen. Now! Related posts:Was Jesus who he said he [...] Related posts:

Dealing with personal sin in a community

Jeremy — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:09:50 +0000

Sin, a lot of us really don't take it seriously, and when we do, we have very little idea with what to do about it, especially when it concerns the sin of another (you'll quickly hear, "who am I to judge!"). What started out as a post on resolving conflicts has turned into a post [...] No Related Posts Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.

Grace in the life of a believer

Jeremy — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:13:22 +0000

I spend a considerable amount of time on message boards, one Christian message board in particular. And, as a result, I’ve really begun to consider how grace manifests itself — and is demonstrated in — the life of a believer, by which I mean actions. The reason, you see, is because there is an awful [...] Related posts:

Do Good People go to Hell?

Jeremy — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:49:58 +0000

Or for that matter, do bad people go to heaven? In both cases I believe the answer is a clear no. And I think the reason this question comes up often, and is equally as misunderstood, is because we tend to think that actions define character - which to an extent is true - but [...] Related posts:

Ivan Karamazov on the Second Commandment

Jeremy — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:25:19 +0000

The following is a modified version of a previously written essay. Ivan begins by quoting the second greatest commandment: "love your neighbor as yourself"1. He admits to Alyosha (his brother) that, "I never could understand how it's possible to love one's neighbors,"2 though he can understand the admiration of one's neighbour. Ivan [...] Related posts:

The Bible and Homosexuality: Introduction

Jeremy — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:41:25 +0000

There's been a lot of renewed discussion (read: debate) over what the Bible says concerning homosexuality, especially where the "clobber verses" (listed below) are concerned. As it's beginning to come up time and time again, I figured I would examine the clobber verses, both views for and against, and see if we, or I, can [...] Related posts:
