Back Again

The cable that brings our internet and television into the house snapped on Thursday. It had stretched and wound it’s way through a tree that grew up around it and the wind on Thursday morning was the end of it. But now they’ve run us a new cable and we’re good to go.

I have a book review of Nancy Guthrie’s The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis, a bible study for women’s groups, that I was going to post on Thursday, but I think I’ll hold off until Monday now. Who reads blogs on Saturday, anyway?

Round the Sphere Again: Apologies for Theology

Two recent posts on one of my hobby horses: the importance of the study of theology for every believer.

In a Church
“There is no reason for any church to be anything other than robustly theological. Churches will still come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. But ‘atheological,’ or worse yet ‘anti-theological,’ should not be one of them.” —Kevin DeYoung gives 6 reasons a church should be theological. 

For Women
“Theology isn’t boring or irrelevant. It is full and rich and beautiful. The more you know God and study Him, the deeper your love will grow for Him. The more you know Him, the more you be grateful for what He has done for you.” —From Ladies: Do Not Shy Away from Theology by Jessica Thompson at Crossway Blog.
