Over the weekend, my wife and I went to see Alien: Covenant in the theater for our anniversary (I’m a lucky man, I know). The initial reviews on IMDB were pretty bad, so my hopes weren’t very high. Some of the reviews said that Covenant made Prometheus look good (a movie which also received bad reviews when it was first …

Sometimes life and its complications can get to be too much, can’t they? There are so many trials and tribulations in this life that they can become overwhelming, and life itself can come to seem like a burden. We have mortgages to pay, debts to settle, things to plan, kids to raise – and then on top of all that …
I enjoy music, as I suspect most (all?) people do. Music has the ability to not only convey emotions, but actually to conjure them up along with the memories associated with them. Perhaps this is why we, as a culture, tend to treat musicians with a respect which approaches reverence. Music itself is mentioned in the Bible, first in Genesis 4:21 …
In Acts 17:16-31 we find Paul in Athens waiting for the arrival of Silas and Timothy from Thessalonica. Paul spends his time in Athens well. He goes into the synagogues to proclaim Christ to the Jews and into the marketplace each day to proclaim Christ to the Gentiles.

Maybe the pressures of life and work and family are starting to wear you down. Maybe you’re bearing the burden of some particular sin. We all have been in …
(Note: I originally wrote this article in summer 2013.) In March 2012, I had the opportunity to go to Russia for a week for work. In college, I had studied the Russian language for a couple of years and I have read a lot about Russian history and culture, so it was very exciting to finally get to go there! …
If you went to church today, how did you enter into the church? I don’t mean in the spiritual sense, like “through Baptism,” but how did you actually enter into the building? Did you tunnel in through the roof? Did you crawl through a vent? Did you cut through the stone and drywall? No, you entered in through the door, because the …
When I started this blog, I created a number of categories such as “Book Reviews,” “Historical Info,” “Travel,” “Thoughts on Life,” and others. However, I find that I hardly ever create posts for these categories, instead focusing on theological themes. I enjoy posting about theology, but want to also start posting about other things which interest me and which might …
