I would encourage you to dig deeper into the "joy made complete" verses. The phrase appears multiple times in the Bible, and the Morris analysis taken out of context seems fishy to me.
For example, 1 John 1:4 says "We write this to make our joy com…
Dr. Mike,
I can sympathize with the sadness when you feel that people you love are on a bad path. Having experienced a lot of the sadness *and* the joy, I'm pretty sure you'd know the joy if you felt it.
Anecdotally, when I think of the times I've…
Pretty much what I thought, too. Sigh...
Don, those are great references; thanks for sharing! Perspective like this is why I love theologica.
Would idolatry also justify divorce? God certainly hates idolatry.
(I'm saying this as someone who got divorced when there was no infidelity, abandonment, or abuse -- and no, I don't think it was Biblically justified)
I think you can't go wrong with Dell or HP -- personally, I would go with Dell out of those two choices. My wife has both Dell and HP laptops currently, and complains about the HP (yes, very anecdotal I know, but don't know anyone who has praised HP…
Isn't the ex-wife automatically an adulterer upon being divorced, even if she never has sex again? (Matthew 5:32).
It's kind of stupid. "Work as if everything depended on you" is encouragement to work with attachment to earthly outcomes. Even in spiritual matters, it makes no sense, and inverts the motivations. It defeats what Hudson Taylor called his "spiritual…
JFYI, beans are very high in carbs. Chickpeas (garbonzo beans) are the ultimate low-GI carb; 50g of carbs in a cup. I use them on carb loading days (along with Yams and oatmeal). Ketostix are the best way I know to be sure that you're not going abov…
Good to hear Atkins worked for you before; I wouldn't want to presume, given the rarity of POTS (just reading more about it; never heard of it before).
Presumably, it'd just be you doing it, and not the rest of the family, but that does imply that…
And looking at the info about POTS, it seems pretty rare, and I would recommend that you ask on the POTS forums before trying any particular diet (Atkins, Mediterranean, etc.) to see if anyone else with POTS has tried it. I found some forum posts of…
I lost 30 pounds since July, going from 35% body fat to 17%, testing with both calipers and electrical induction. I went from a size 38 waist to loose size 32. I and a co-worker tried three different diets over that period, and we learned a lot abou…
The actual empirical data, reported in the New York Times, shows that Christians were more protected from the bubble than others, and contributed less, with the provocative title "Did Evangelicals Curb the Housing Bubble":

I don't think it's just you, there are lots of people just like you. However, I'm not one.
IMO, the fact that I always know and feel God's presence is a sign of spiritual weakness on my part. Almost all of the saints experienced stretches of aridit…
Really good; thanks for sharing! I was particularly struck by how each side sought to sternly point out where the other was in error, without really pointing out much of substance. It seems the differences are, indeed as the Machen quote suggests, v…
I would throw in Yi Fu Tuan's "Space and Place"; a book that has nothing to do with Christianity, but is so offensively bad that it should be burned repeatedly. I might throw in Andrew Sung Park's "The Wounded Heart of God", although I feel some pit…

Ray Nearhood said… - Saw your comments in the messenger many hours late. The only passage I could find similar to what you describe is Isaiah 29:15-16
"15Ah, you who hide deep from the LORD your counsel,
whose deeds are in the dark,
and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
16 You turn things upside down!Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,that the thing made should say of its maker,
"He did not make me";
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
"He has no understanding"?"
