Greetings! I am writing this from my new office…a first! It is a total disaster here, of course, as all offices are as you are dragging in boxes, putting up blinds, running wires, etc. But at least I have connectivity to the net and power to the computer! First things first they say. Only time to say hello and get

I received my full-color brochure for the 2006 School of Theology at the Metropolitan Tabernacle this July. This link isn’t as colorful, but it has the same information. I’m very much looking forward to this wonderful opportunity of ministry in London, and am very thankful to Dr. Masters for his kind invitation. I know each speaker has forty minutes (I

I spoke on the topic of the Resurrection of Christ this afternoon to a group at Auburn University. I played a clip from The God Who Wasn’t There where Jesus Seminar fellow Dr. Price throws out this wild, grossly inaccurate list of “savior gods” that Jesus is allegedly “like” (Osiris, Dionysius, etc.) and then demonstrated how completely false such comparisons

Some may have noted the death of our website for a while yesterday, including this blog. ISP folks did something they weren’t supposed to and it took about twelve hours for them to figure out what it was. Anyway, our e-mail was interrupted during that time. I do not know if we lost any incoming mail or not. Both of

I arrived home after midnight this morning (someone needs to help United Airlines deliver luggage at a small terminal in less than forty five minutes after a flight has landed), and haven’t been able to convince my body to sleep much, so here goes a day or two of jet-lag induced life. But a small cost for the wonderful time

Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland! Pastor Roger Brazier and I flew in yesterday, and we immediately got to work with a meeting last evening at the Reformed Baptist Church here on the subject of New Perspectivism. The meeting was very well attended, and the folks were most attentive and appreciative for the ministry of the Word. Tonight the series of meetings

The horror of Reformed Baptists on the rampage!

As I have noted previously, I will be ministering in the UK beginning this week, first in London, then moving north to Glasgow and Inverness. I will be doing my best to blog while traveling, but I honestly am not putting any pressure on myself to keep to any particular schedule since I cannot guarantee any particular level of Internet

My quick blog run and e-mail review netted some pretty odd stuff this morning.     First, it is amazing to watch the rioting, armed thuggery, etc., associated with the publishing of caricatures of Mohammed in Danish newspapers, and now newspapers across Europe. Michelle Malkin has the entire story. Muslims attacking EU offices with guns, demonstrations in the streets, and all

As soon as I saw Shamgar in channel saying the new e-mail from SGCB was giving him fits with book-envy, I knew I had to pop by and see what was up. I can see why! Two items that caught my eye immediately: Notes on Galatians by J. Gresham Machen should be most useful. It is coming soon. And From

Memorization verses, John 20:28…it all gets to wait till I finish an article due today. Maybe tomorrow. Only so many hours in the day. Sorry!

For those in the great state of Georgia (and surrounding areas), you might be very interested in attending the Greer-Heard Forum February 3-4, 2006, featuring William Dembski and Michael Ruse on the topic of Intelligent Design. Here’s the link.     I’m reviewing a manuscript for an upcoming book so that I can write an endorsement for it (more when it

I am so glad Rich Pierce knows how to do… every- thing. He’s Tim Taylor without quite the same frequency of 1) disaster, and 2) trips to the emergency room (though I did have to take him once). Here Rich (crouching down), Larry, and Casey frame in a new door they just created in a wall in the new offices.

Well, I need to keep this short, as I want to run past the new office and see how things are going. Before moving we have walls to build, ceilings to install, network stuff to run…all that fun stuff. But the process has begun. It will be a long one.     I’m behind the curve, obviously, but you do have

The mp3s of yesterday’s Issues Etc. program are now up here. Ehrman’s responses will start us off tomorrow evening on the DL.     Chris Jenkins sent me the Wall Street Journal article on Wheaton’s firing of assistant professor Joshua Hochschild. Hochschild converted to Roman Catholicism. Wheaton stuck to its own rules and dismissed him because they have a statement of

Heads up! Bart Ehrman will be on Issues Etc. today at 3:05pm. Here is the link. Watch for differences between the light, breezy confidence found in his statements on the NPR interviews and today’s program. He surely knows he is in a different context than the ultra-liberal context of NPR. Update: OK, sorry, the website said 3:05, but now it

I thought I’d provide the uber-cool graphic centuri0n created for his Wooden Nickel Awards for 2005, but it is in various parts, and my 1993 vintage blog format can’t handle high class stuff like that, so this is all I can mange. I got the one for being the meanest Calvinist on the net. I’m honored. While folks like Pyromaniac

A twenty one year old LDS missionary from Bountiful, Utah, was shot and killed, and his companion wounded, by an as yet unidentified assailant Monday evening. Here’s the Salt Lake Tribune story. The article seems to suggest that the missionaries had witnessed a shooting and were themselves shot as a result. In any case, it’s such a shame to hear

John Samson snuck this into my e-mail box.

Greetings from Tampa. I am here to narrate a musical presentation of the story of Christ Sunday evening at the Lakeside Community Chapel. Goodness, we practice a lot! I hope I can keep everything straight!     I have heard the repeated requests from our readers/listeners. I ordered Bart Ehrman’s newest and popular level book, Misquoting Jesus, and will begin reviewing

My, they really, really need to replace the carpet here at A16. Horrible!     Had a great time with Pastor Van Lees and the fine folks at Covenant of Grace Church in St. Charles. We covered the New Perspectives on Paul, and I got to use my new Bluetooth tablet to add another dimension to my presentations. Very useful! Technology

I am one of those folks who really likes predictability. I like a routine. Same ol’ same ol. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Make do and be thankful. That kind of thing.     But sometimes, things have to change. We have been operating this entire ministry out of very, very, very small quarters for quite some time. And

I’ve been working on a few other projects over the course of the holiday and haven’t had the slightest desire to open up The Da Vinci Code and document more of Dan Brown’s errors. But it has been hard to avoid noting the explosion over the past week of a “blog war” as it is being called (a bit melodramatic

On a very sad note, Adrian Rogers has died. Chemotherapy is a rather barbaric way of dealing with cancer, and while it can work, it likewise has lots of complications, in this case, double pneumonia. His website asks for prayers for the Rogers family. All theological disagreements aside, as I noted a few years ago when reviewing his sermons on

First, Pastor Brazier has sent me the link to my February UK trip itinerary. Here it is. I can’t express how much I’m looking forward to returning to the UK, and Lord willing, this time with a measure of health!     Second, I got up last night and noted the screen was on, so I checked on the computer and

I was just sent this link. I am honored to be in such grand company.     Chris Jenkins and some other brainiacs–and Frank Turk–have started a blog (gasp! someone has started a blog??). I don’t think they have Pyromaniac’s graphics skills, but they are definitely younger than Phil. Wait…that doesn’t sound right–and I’m not sure Frank Turk is younger than

Eric Svendsen has hung up his blogging…shoes, or gloves, or whatever you use to blog. Here’s his announcement. I can fully understand how he feels. To be honest, I can’t figure out how he, and so many others, can put out so much material. You have probably noted that my volume of blogging is lower than many others. The main

Just got an e-mail advertising some really super sale prices on some neat stuff (like the biography of Sarah Edwards) at Solid Ground Christian Books, but it only goes till midnight tonight! Here’s the site but gentlemen, please don’t tell your wives I told you about this. I know, how sexist of me…but it is almost always the guys telling

Today on the Dividing Line we will continue our review of Shabir Ally’s opening statement and, if I refrain from preaching too much, should get to Sam Shamoun’s first rebuttal. The DL airs at 7pm EDT, 4pm PDT. Headed to Omaha tomorrow morning (details here). Looking forward to visiting with the brethren there in Omaha once again, but given the

First, many thanks to the more than a dozen folks who have sent me the link to the new book from the English Roman Catholic Church, The Gift of Scripture. I honestly don’t know if I have ever received as many duplicate copies of the same URL in my life. Yes, I know about it, and am seeking to obtain
