This is the Table, and it has its rightful place at the center of our lives. What we do here sets the tone for what we do at every other table. This Table is the rudder; it guides and directs all our other table fellowship. If we are hypocritical here, we will be hypocritical around …
Slab of Humanity
Off to the left you see that I think that Zarafa Tutorials is one place you should check out, particularly if you have any children of writing age and you want to nurture them in creativity–which involves more than just grammatical competence. I recently had some fun looking at their first edition of The Dogberry …
Many Thanks
I am currently listening to the 70th edition of the Mars Hill Audio Journal, and it struck me how greatly indebted to Ken Myers I am. Over the years, this audio journal has been the most fruitful source of outstanding book recommendations of my experience. Give them a look if you have a moment.
Grace Upon Grace
Our Father and God, we rest in Your presence now because we come in faith to the day of rest that You have appointed. We rest in Your grace, and the faith that You give to do this is additional grace — grace upon grace. In Your presence we are glad to receive what You …
Hate Crimes and Private Property
Dear visionaries, Now that some progressives have been revealed as malice and/or ignorance mongers with regard to Christian businesses, I want to add two cents on the individual rights front — because this is where a far more important issue is.

Peacemaking
Mankind loves to wrangle. It is part of the sinful condition we inherited from Adam. Unfortunately, this is one of the last sins addressed after conversion. In many cases, a professed conversion to Christ “just changes the subject,” but does not change the heart of a man given to quarrels. But “blessed are the peacemakers, …
Squelching Rumors
Dear visionaries, So, someone wants to know if a Discrimination Event occurred in a local coffee emporium owned by Christians? Rumor control, aye. So then I heard that there is a special room in the basement of the admin building where the president of the University of Idaho goes every day at noon and kicks …
Foundations of Marriage IV
Introduction: By the grace of God, we have repented of our discontent and want to be teachable. We want to hear the word of truth in truth, and make applications according to the Spirit and not according to the letter. And we want to apply whatever we learn to ourselves first, and not to our …
Foundations of Marriage III
Introduction: We are beginning this series on marriage with a short introductory series on why teaching on marriage frequently does no good at all. The first reason we considered was discontent, because discontented people are unteachable. The second stumbling block is our tendency to trust in the letter of the law, instead of trusting in …
