This article originally appeared on my blog (Here). “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45) Service is not a uniquely Christian concept. The language of service is something engrained throughout society....

What to do if your kids are getting chubby?
My kids have gotten a little chonky. What do I do?
p.s. I am also thick like a brick. But I've been powerlifting, so it is all power-gut you see and power-fat to fuel my strength gains.
Any parental advice? I make them exercise. And we cook nutritious food. Trying to find them outdoor activities. -
It's been over 10 yrs, re-introduction
My last comments in here were from 2009, and I was a freshly minted Calvinist of 4 months.
After 11 years I'm still here I love to debate and discuss soteriology with those who seem a bit hostile to us. Over the past 11 yrs or so I've traveled more of the world for old jobs, started businesses, and many other experiences (and a few roller coasters ). I look forward to giving back a...

The Uniform of the Office
For this thread I'd like to primarily hear from Pastors.
I know this has been discussed before, but that was a few years ago, and I have some questions about gowns and clerical collars I haven't found the answer to. For those that wear either I assume you agree on at least this: The office should have a uniform, there shouldn't be vestments (in the Eastern or Catholic sense),... -
Was telling lies David's besetting sin?
In Thomas Brooks' book The Golden Key, he argues that lying was King David's besetting sin (Works, 5: 20-21). What do you make of this claim? -

Biblical Womanhood and the Single Woman
What does "biblical womanhood" entail for a single woman? Biblical womanhood in the context of marriage and motherhood seems relatively straightforward. A woman must submit to her husband, she must attend to her home, and she must raise her children (if she has them). But how is biblical womanhood expressed in the life of a single woman, who has no husband to whom she must submit and no... -
An anti-Transubstantiation argument for Geocentrism? (John Edwards)
I am just after reading this highly intriguing extract from John Edwards wherein he argued against Copernicanism on the basis that it, as with the Romish notion of transubstantiation, was contrary to our senses. What do you make of this argument and how would you argue against it from a Common Sense Realist point of view?
Fourthly, I would argue thus, Why do we check and gall (and not... -
Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (Aimee Byrd)
I hope that I am mistaken, but I do not think what is being advocated here is going to end well. It seems to be part of a push towards increasing acceptance of feminism in conservative Reformed circles (just so long as women are not being ordained). Also, talk of a "female" voice in scripture sounds troubling.

Twenty-nine Years
This article originally appeared on my blog (Here). “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord…their works follow them” (Revelation 14:13) David Brainerd (1718-1747) was an 18th century American missionary to the native American Indians of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Robert Murray...

A Refutation To The Charge That The Calvinistic View Of Predestination Is Pagan.
The idea brought forth by those who claim that we who hold to God's sovereignty in all things are similar to the Greek pagans is without warranted. As Ronald Nash states in his book The Gospel and the Greeks, these so called gods were limited by their own weakness both physical and moral. Not to...
