I am busy. There is so much going on in my life right now that it is hard to keep focused. I keep looking ahead to Thanksgiving (and then inevitably, Christmas) and just think about how wonderful that time will be. It's all coming up fast! This semester is already over half over! But what a wonderful semester it has been! God has blessed me in so many ways this past semester...it's been

Well I certainly have not posted in a long time, so I figured I better post something, just so Blogger doesn't shut me down. I'm home from Moody and am eagerly anticipating Christmas (I can't believe it's just three days away!). Christmas really snuck up on me this year, what with the new school and all. Speaking of Moody...Moody is an amazing school! I truly love my time there and already

This is a video that I helped put together for a guy on my floor. He made it for a psychology class that he is currently in. If you have ever taken psychology, you should immediately understand what the video is referring to. If you don't know much about psychology, it is still hilarious to watch! The guy's name is Mark and he is literally the funniest guy I have ever met! Enjoy, The Caged

Today marks the kickoff of Moody's annual Missions Conference and I am excited! I am excited because of this years theme: The Church in Chains. I am excited because of this years speakers: Mark Talbot, Steve Strauss, Carl Moeller and many other experienced missionaries. Lastly, I am excited because all classes are cancelled for the rest of the week! Each day we get to go to about six

A couple days ago, I watched the movie Shadowlands. The movie stars Anthony Hopkins, who plays Clive Staples Lewis, or Jack as his friends called him. This biography of sorts, focuses on Lewis' relationship with Joy Greshem, an American woman who first was merely a fan and pen-pal but later became a beloved wife to Jack.I had heard that Shadowlands was a good movie and am happy to say that I

We were created to worship God.Our purpose is to glorify our Creator. However, we do not fulfill our purpose. This is the essense of sin - not being who God has commanded us to be (ie. worshippers of our Creator). In its essense, sin is not doing something, but rather not doing something, that something being truly worshipping and glorifying the God of the universe.Think about why God created

The sum of all our goods, and our perfect good, is God. We must not fall short of this, nor seek anything beyond it; the first is dangerous, the other impossible.- Augustine Just think about those words for a while. Do you seek God as your perfect good or do you substitute lesser goods (or evils) for the greatest Good?And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God

Sadly, today the famous Crocodile Hunter (Steve Irwin) died, after being stung by a massive sting ray. The ray's stinger apprently entered into Irwin's chest, peircing his heart and killing him almost instantly. So ends the legacy of the man who loved to yell, "Crikey! She's a beauty!"

I have been thinking a lot about God and His sovereignty and man and his depravity lately, and I just happened to listen to this song, You Are to Blame, by MercyMe.

Farewell, vain world; my soul can bid Adieu:My Saviour's taught me to abandon you.Your charms may gratify the sensual mind;Not please a soul wholly for God design'd.Forbear to entice, cease then my soul to call:'Tis fix'd through grace; my God shall be my ALL.While He thus lets me heavenly glories view,Your beauties fade, my heart's no room for you.-David Brainerd

D.L. Moody had long admired Charles Spurgeon’s sermons, and when Moody traveled to London, he went to meet the famous preacher. He was met at the door by Spurgeon himself, smoking a cigar. Moody was shocked. “How can you, a man of God, smoke that cigar?” Spurgeon was not offended, but he replied, “The same way that you, a man of God, can be that fat.”

I really shouldn't post this quote, for, to take it out of it's context (Luther's lectures on Romans) is to strip it of much of it's power. However, I found this little quote so true and convicting, that I thought I should post it. Read through it all very slowly, especially towards the end where Luther talks about the right and left hand (see the footnote to understand what he is talking about

I just finished reading Robinson Crusoe and it is now one of my three favorite books ever. If you haven't read it, you must do so. It is relatively short and does not take much time to get through, but the story is engaging, the themes deep and important, and the evolution of the character very intriguing.I read on the internet that Daniel Defoe wrote a couple sequals to Crusoe, but that they

Well, I just returned from a week long vacation and I am bummed. I went up to Wisconsin with a friend and spent the week playing on a lake, reading good books, playing poker, and just relaxing all around (except for the small "incident" on Tuesday). It was all great fun, but getting back to the real world really sucks (same old routine, work, getting my wisdom teeth out Wednesday etc).But, its

Check out this Scientology orientation video that all potential "converts" see at one of the Scientology "churches." With the massive amounts of money that they rake in, you'd think that could come up with something that looked less like full blown propoganda and more like a real documentary.I especially like the beginning where you see the astroids plummiting towards the earth.

The question is asked, “How can justification take place without the works of the Law, and how by the works of the Law can there be no justification, since James 2:26 clearly states: ‘Faith apart from works is dead’ and ‘a man is justified by works,’ using the example of Abraham and Rahab (James 2:23–25)?” And Paul himself in Gal. 5:6 speaks of “faith working through love,” and above in chapter 2

Check out this disturbing clip from the Reverand Jerry Falwell's church, where Ergun Caner (right) rants against the "infection" of Calvinism. He seems to think that "infected" people (aka Calvinists) have no reason to share the Gospel. He says we aren't willing to "preach, and teach, and reach" the unsaved. But not Mr. Caner - he will be "standing on top of [his] hands" when he stands before

Concerning the statement, ‘It depends not upon man’s will [or exertion, but upon God’s mercy,’ Rom. 9:16], I respond: In this passage Paul was doing nothing less than disputing about predestination, but he was speaking against the Jews and the righteousness of the law and he meant to say, ‘You must despair, give God the glory, and confess that you didn’t start it.’ When I was a monk I depended on

It’s impossible for our adversaries to understand the forgiveness of sins because they are immersed in their notion of quality. The Holy Scriptures call Christians saints and the people of God. It’s a pity that it’s forgotten that we are saints, for to forget this is to forget Christ and baptism. (In Psalm 86 [:2] the Hebrew for ‘I am a saint,’ chasid, means the opposite, ‘I am cursed.’) So it

The Parable of the Forgiving Father? Where is that found in the Bible? Well, turn to Luke 15:11-32 and you will see.Most likely, your Bible has entitled the section something like, "The Parable of the Lost Son" or "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." I don't like this title. It doesn't fit. Don't get me wrong - there is a prodigal son in this parable. He is a main character. However, I don't think

Such contempt [for the Word of God] ought to be both a consolation and a warning to us, so that we give thanks to God for the blessing of being among those who love his Word, diligently hear and learn God’s Word, and find delight in the Holy Scriptures. For it is a great punishment and a severe judgment of God if a man so hates God and his Word that he is unwilling to hear it and neither honors

Well, just a few days ago I celebrated my 19th birthday. Hurray for me! My mom made me a chocolate cake and my family sang "Happy Birthday" to me. Then they had me sit down and “unwrap” (more like “pull a blanket off”) a large box. A mini-fridge! It will certainly come in handy next year at Moody and until then, I think I might put it up in my room. Because my dad has this phobia against

Faith is a work of God in us, which changes us and brings us to birth anew from God (cf. John 1). It kills the old Adam, makes us completely different people in heart, mind, senses, and all our powers, and brings the Holy Spirit with it. What a living, creative, active powerful thing is faith! It is impossible that faith ever stop doing good. Faith doesn't ask whether good works are to be done,

Show me a single mortal in the whole universe, no matter how just and saintly, to whose mind it would have ever occurred that this should be the way of salvation to believe in him who was both God and man, who died for our sins, who rose and sites at the right hand of the Father. What philosopher ever saw this? Who among the prophets? The cross is a scandal to the Jews and a folly to the

This is wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside of ourselves. I am justified and acceptable to God, although there are in me sin, unrighteousness, and horror of death. Yet I must look elsewhere and see no sin. This is wonderful, not to see what I see, not to feel what I feel. Before my eyes I see a gulden, or a sword, or a fire, and I must say, “There is no gulden, no sword, no

Reason number 10 is by far the worst of them all.

When I go to bed, the Devil is always waiting for me. When he begins to plague me, I give him this answer: “Devil, I must sleep. That’s God’s command, ‘Work by day. Sleep by night.’ So go away.” If that doesn’t work and he brings out a catalog of sins, I say, “Yes, old fellow, I know all about it. And I know some more you have overlooked. Here are a few extra. Put them down.” If he still

From the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt.

Well, as you can cleary see, Whatever Comes 2 Mind has recently gotten a facelift. Sharper Iron got an update, so why not Whatever Comes to Mind? I was thinking about remodeling some stuff anyways - namely adding an additional sidebar on the left. I think that this style will work a lot better for me and my readers (all six of you). I still need to iron out a few little bugs and modify some

For a while I have been a little annoyed that Blogger does not have the "categories" allowing users to organize their posts into....categories. I was looking at the Blogger discussion group and saw that others were feeling the same way as I was. Then one person suggested an alternative - namely using del.icio.us, a bookmarking site that can be integrated into your blog, effectively allowing you

2 Corinthians 5:14-21For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we

Currently, the poll about favorite theologians shows that Marin Luther is at the top of the list. I would have to concur. Ever since seeing the movie Luther and reading John Piper's book The Legacy of Sovereign Joy, I have become fascinated by Martin Luther. Since finishing The Legacy (which is actually about three different men), I have read many other articles on the internet and one

Ok, so I finally uploaded some pictures from my snowboarding trip to Copper Mountain in Colorado. Admittedly, they aren't very exciting. No half-pipes or two story jumps for me. But whatever.

Finally, my church has started posting sermons on Sermon Audio! Head over there right now and check out my pastor, Kevin Wilkening. We only have a couple sermons up at this point, but soon we hope to get all of Kevin's series on the Gospel of John uploaded.

I am currently involved in a discussion about how we, as finite beings, can speak about an infinite God. The big subtopic right now is the use of analogies in religious conversation. Analogies are very common in the Bible and Christian language as a whole. I tend to prefer biblical analogies (Father-Son, Shepherd-Sheep, Great Physician etc.) but I don’t think that human analogies are

I know this may be a difficult or even impossible question for some people, but I still decided to make it into a poll. I'm sure we all have one or two (or three!) theologians that we really enjoy reading and seem to "connect" with. I got the list of theologians from Wikipedia.com and I think it is a pretty good list. I know I left people out, but I tried to keep the bigger names (in some

Well, after almost a year of active participation, I have called it quits with Sharper Iron. It was a good year, but I feel my time is up. I have been thinking about leaving for quite some time now, for a variety of reasons.

When you ask most people, “Is it ok to lie?” you usually get the same answer: “No.” Overwhelmingly, most people value telling the truth over lying. This is understandable. But what if you are lying for a good purpose? Most lies are selfish – they are told to protect the individual from something uncomfortable. But what about lies motivated by “good” intentions. The classic example is of the

As many of you know, I love C.S. Lewis. He has quickly become one of my favorite authors of all time - in Christian and non-Christian literature alike. I just finished Surprised by Joy which was a very interesting and thought provoking autobiography of sorts about Jack's (as his friends called him) early life. It's main focus is on his initial rejection of God and Christianity and then it goes

Apparently, my brother is a wizard. He has been touring Europe for the past three weeks and has posted quite a few pictures. If you want to see them, go here. If you want to see his website, go here.

This is taken from my response to the random question section of my profile. I could not fit my answer in the space provided, so I will give the answer in full here. Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?Yes, it would seem to be consistent with the theory of evolution by natural selection. The spoon by itself would not be very useful at stabbing and picking up things, but would

So I didnt think that I would be going to Onefest. We were supposed to be in Illinois a bit longer, but we got home early last night. Then there was the problem of not having a ticket and I was not about to spend 50 bucks on one at the door. I had just sat down to read some C.S. Lewis when someone called me and told me that they had an extra ticket that I could have!! So, of course I jumped

Merry Christmas all! Like I have said about two thousand times in the past week, I love Christmas! It is the best holiday - no arguing!So anyways, on to the real point of this post. I have just finished creating a new forum for W.C.2.M. It is where anyone can talk and discuss pretty much anything (if you can't find a good place for some topic, tell me and we'll make one). Forums are cool

This issue came up recently at Sharper Iron and has been prevalent in our country for a while - Christmas and it's place in American society. Because of Christmas' obvious associations with Christianity (for all those who didn't know, it was started as a celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. See here.) many liberals (think ACLU) are fighting to get it out of the public sector. Many believe (or is

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. I am writing now because I'm pretty sure that I won't be writing anytime soon as I am leaving tomorrow to go skiing and stuff. I am completely enjoying my Christmas break and the end of the semester. I look forward to better classes and a better schedule next semester, but I will enjoy the wonderful here-and-now for as long as I can. At least until

Hey, so we got a new thing called a Guestmap. It is kinda like a guestbook except it is a map and you "sign it" by placing a mark on a map corresponding to where you are. So yea, everyone sign it...its cool! LOL! Unfortunatly you cant do a search for your town or city to automatically zoom there, so you will have to find your location manually. I recommend centering your approximate location

Everyone, celebrate with me, for I am now done with classes until January. So sing, sacrifice the fattened calf, and do some barbeque, for I am extremely happy that I don't have to go to any more classes for the rest of the year. All I have left are my final exams. Well, I guess it's not all good news. Oh well. At least I only have to study for Biology, which happens to be my worst class

Well everyone, this is my last week of school before the semester is over. Or, at least, the last week of classes. I have finals next week. Those suck. I'll be done on Thursday. Oh well, I'll live. Hope you all have a wonderful day, and I hope everyone in my hometown is enjoying this wonderful snow!!! Huh? Whaddya think? Pretty good, huh? Yeah, I thought so. It's wonderful. I enjoy it

Yea, it was awesome! By far the best concert I have been to. I liked Newsboys a lot when they were here, but Casting Crowns was better. They have some amazing songs! They opened with some unknown guy who was ok, then Building 429. They were ok....loud and hard to understand at times....but good. But then the "real" band came out! It was awesome!I got to meet Mark Hall and Tony Nolan (who gave the

That's right. I, Aaron, contacted them both and invited them to a little get-together I was having. It was pretty fun. We had a few refreshments and a game of poker (which Stewie won, but I suspect some cheating. He somehow had a five-of-a-kind. Without wilds.) Needless to say, Osama did not like the outcome of the game and called me an infidel and went off with his body guards to make some "

Yea, so am I the only one who is excited about this movie coming out?! I have it as my buddy icon and people keep laughing at it! They wouldnt laugh if it was Lord of the Rings! I for one have high hopes for this movie, which could be just as good and true to the books as Lord of the Rings was.I have read a few reviews of the movie by people who have seen it already and they are all great!

Yes, I realize that I promised to leave this stuff to Matt, but I need to break that promise. I just had some verses I wanted to share because they are what I believe, and I think it is important to share those things that I believe. First off, I would like to share with you the base of my beliefs from the book of Titus.Titus 3:4-7 "But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,

I love winter! I love snow! Many people seem to hate it...I can't figure why!? Yeah, its cold and your car doors get frozen shut, but that just makes this season all the more interesting! With winter comes snow, Christmas (not present giving but the birth of our Lord!), hot chocolate, Christmas break, Christmas (did I already say that?), thick wool socks, heating blankets, big meals, hand

Alright party peeps, settle down, I know you're excited. Who wouldn't be after seeing the name Brian Regan? I know I couldn't possibly be not excited after seeing that name. He is, after all, one of the greatest comedians of our time. And just to give you homies a sample of his genius, I found this site that you may like. It is Brian Regan doing some stand-up comedy on the Conan O'Brien Show.

Hello, and welcome to our blog. I am the new kid, Aaron. This is my first blog, co-hosted with Matt. I plan to be posting some weird and crazy stuff on here. You'll have to forgive me for that. If you wish to hear my opinions on things, you can pretty much look at Matt's posts. I think that's why I'm the co-host.

Yet again, I will try this whole blog thing. I decided that I might dust off the old Google Blogger and give it another whirl... Speaking of Google - I love Google. They make some quality products. The best thing about them is the fact that all of Google's "stuff" works perfectly with all of Google's other "stuff". They have integrated many of their programs and websites so that they all work

I have wanted to go on an overseas mission trip for a long time. When the youth group finally decided that we would be going to Santa Fe, Venezuela, this summer I was glad but at the same time nervous. The trip that I had been waiting and praying for had finally come. I can honestly say that the work that we did in preparation and the actual work and difficulties (heat, no running water,

I think that knowing that God is sovereign over ALL things, including every salvation, will definitely affect the way that we preach and evangelize and pray. Specifically in regards to how we live, God's complete sovereignty means that we totally depend on God and recognize His complete control.
