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....

Is the yin-yang sign necessarily occultic?
I don't have any of them and they aren't really the type of stuff I dig, but is the symbol necessarily occultic? I understand the Taoist use of some of them (harmony of opposites), but does it automatically imply concepts of "chi?" -
Master's Degrees
Howdy folks,
My wife is thinking about eventually completing her Master's degree (she took a few classes from The Master's College right after her undergrad) some time in the future.
She just wants straight up Bible. I would like to point her to more reformed (Presbyterian or Reformed) schools that are solid. However, there are other solid options. She would like for it to be all online but... -
Interesting Stuff in Old Sermons and Other Writings
Reading John Calvin's first sermon from the Book of Genesis (on 1.1-2), he mentions the joke about which came first, the chicken or the egg? Apparently, that was already an old joke in the 1550s, which I did not know before.

Luke 18:15-17 – The Gospel and Children
Question: Are you a child of God or an adult?
Many Christians and some entire denominations think that the gospel is for adults. Maybe including teanagers, but certainly not for young children. Even the disciples of Jesus thought that way.
But Jesus said in Luke 18:15-17
15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they... -
Against all Odds (Chuck Norris)
Norris, Chuck. Against all Odds. Broadman & Holman.
As John Piper said, “Read Christian biography!” He probably didn’t mean this, though. It’s a fun read. Chuck is very honest about his moral and spiritual failings, and when he talks of repentance, he speaks in concrete terms of sin and turning to Christ. He also speaks about his more mundane failures and while we will never have... -

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...
