Fellow GtS writer, Jeff Patterson and I have been talking about Spirituality. It seems today everyone is spiritual. I remember reading an article in which atheists were describing themselves as spiritual. Jeff and I were talking specifically about the Spiritual Life which got me to thinking about Don Whitney’s ministry devoted to the Spiritual Disciplines. Read More...

This question is in honor of all this year’s seminary graduates. Now that the sentimentality is out of the way, let me be clear… I hate this question. I guess the thing that I hate about the question is that it seems to me that, by asking it, seminary is being reduced to a means Read More...

Well, it is about that time in the semester where I’m beginning to realize that I don’t have a lot of time left to get these term papers written. This semester I have two to write: one for Exposition of Hebrews class and one for Hermeneutics class. Thankfully (bitter-sweet) Just a Gal and the kids Read More...

I’ve been thinking a lot about the role of the local church in the life of the seminarian and plan, God willing, to write some posts on it in the near future. Until then, I’d love to hear about your involvement in a local church. I’ll go ahead and show my cards, in that I Read More...

I was encouraged this morning as my professor challenged the class to truly participate in Holy Week as a time of reflection and preparation for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Honestly, in the busyness of things, I forgot this was Holy Week. I wasn’t able to go to the Palm Sunday service due to Little Read More...
