“The church at large, not only the church at Corinth, never has learnt, and never can learn, this truth in such a way as to be beyond the danger of forgetting it, and the Corinthian letters stand in the New Testament as in some respects its clearest and most urgent reminder of this eminently forgettable… [Read more…]
“Wherever authentic, joyful confidence in Christ diminishes, regulations will increase to preserve what once the power of Christ had created.” – John Piper from “Flesh Tanks and Peashooter Regulations.”
The Ascension is something I have heard precious little about in the preaching and teaching of the church. Below is a masterful exposition of Luke 24:50-53 on the event and meaning of the ascension of the Lord Jesus. Listen and enjoy! A Neglected Essential from Southern Seminary on Vimeo.

"Jesus, Thank You" by Sovereign Grace Music, led by Bob Kauflin.
I’m a fan of country music. Yes, I am. I enjoy both the old true country and the new pop country. I heard a little quip the other day though, about “new” country. Many consider Rascall Flatts as a key transition moment in country music and many in the business are doing country in that… [Read more…]
“The first Adam was tested in the God-blessed garden and fell. The second Adam was tested in the God-cursed desert, and won.” - Russell Moore, Tempted and Tried
I learn slow. Some have thought me smart but while I may have the appearance of intelligence indeed the finer elements of wisdom have long and often escaped me. At least I can admit it. But I’m not playing dumb. I know what I know and I know how much I don’t know. Thirteen years… [Read more…]

I do think it healthy to ask hard questions of just about everything. What do you believe and why do you believe it?… [Read more…]
I don’t know why but I think the word fritter is cool. It rolls off the tongue and sounds weird. It almost has a trill to it. And it’s a good way to describe the way you and I waste time. Yes, you know you do. I do. I have a lot. But I’m raging… [Read more…]
“Every last material creature on this globe will come to an end. If God has the authority to invent sperm, to invent eggs, to invent DNA; if He has the authority to choose me out of a near infinite number of possible human combinations and call me into existence out of nothing; if He has… [Read more…]
One of the cool things about my new theme at WordPress.com is that it works great on your phone. The website will sense that you are connecting mobile and fit the blog to your little smart phone screen. So you can read me at the BMV now.
I’ve blogged intermittently for several years. I have few readers. Oh, well. Anyways, the most read post ever of all the wise and smart things I’ve had to say is the observation that the word stupid is actually used in Scripture. Other not so nice words are occasionally used in Scripture as well but we’ll… [Read more…]
OK. Booksmoore is coming back. I’ve given it a slight facelift and moved some things around a bit. I’m simplifying it. Few pictures. The focus is on content, hopefully good content. What blogs do you read because of the pictures, cool graphics, and slick fonts? Few I guess. I read blogs mostly through Google Reader,… [Read more…]
