Paul is so practical. He lays out seven clear steps for Christians be humbler (considering others more important than oneself). How wonderfully! Seven steps to put into practice in order to be humble. There is just one catch. The Christian does not take a single one of these steps. No one can become humbler byContinue reading “7 Steps Towards Greater Humility”

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry – Ray Ortlund Book Review
This book is a call for wise, bold enjoyment. Is it this? Well, mostly. Bold enjoyment certainly shines through. As for wisdom, sometimes I think that gets lost in the mix. I don’t think that this is because Ortlund is wrong in all that he’s trying to say. He’s right that nothing God made isContinue reading “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry – Ray Ortlund Book Review”
Flying Cars
Special edition of On The Desk – October 17, 2026 Innovation is one of the many joys of freedom. On October 15, 2026, Tesla announced their new Roadster. Whatever valid concerns can be raised about the practicalities of introducing Tesla Roadsters (this, for example), the practical uses of these things is incredible to imagine. Think,Continue reading “Flying Cars”
On The Desk – October 16, 2026
We are currently in the process of moving house. That, on top of a youth group project about Moses (more on this soon), has delayed my writing. This edition of On The Desk will be longer than usual as it covers more days than just the 17th. Ken Ham to Frank Turek “Today, I respondContinue reading “On The Desk – October 16, 2026”
On The Desk – October 9, 2026
Simulacra | The Causes of Things, Ep. 30 This is a blast from the past. In writing this recent post, I was reminded of this episode by Michael O’Fallon. If you haven’t delved into Sovereign Nations’ YouTube archive, I highly recommend it. Additionally, yesterday, O’Fallon confirmed in a response to me that he is returningContinue reading “On The Desk – October 9, 2026”
Where is God when it Hurts? – Agony and Ecstasy
Geroge Wald said, as quoted by Philip Yancey, We somehow hope to live full emotional lives when we have carefully expunged the sources of the deepest human emotions. When you have no experience of pain, it is rather hard to experience joy. What were those sources of deepest human emotion? Birth and death. Far tooContinue reading “Where is God when it Hurts? – Agony and Ecstasy”

The Repentance of Josh Howerton 2
In February, I wrote in defence of Josh Howerton. This post chronicles one of the dialogues I had off the back of that post, and touches some conversations that are ongoing as of today. In August, I received this comment from an anonymous reader (presumably from X): Someone linked this to me (Jeff Wright). NothingContinue reading “The Repentance of Josh Howerton 2”
On The Desk – October 7, 2026
Philip Yancey’s book, Where is God when it Hurts? I’ve really enjoyed reading and processing this book. You can find my ongoing series on it here. John Campbell – Russia Lab Leak Are we all about to die because of a plague out Russia? John Campbell says no, and calmly explains why he says no.Continue reading “On The Desk – October 7, 2026”
Where is God when it Hurts – Painless Hell
Pain as freedom. That’s a strange thought. Yet, as Yancey recounts his experiences of seeing the effects of leprosy and other diseases that have deadened the senses first-hand, it’s got merit. “Curse God and die!” How often that lying promise of comfort in condemning God comes to us. That lie presents itself to us whenContinue reading “Where is God when it Hurts – Painless Hell”
