When my mom called while I was on the road, telling her that I was headed to an abandoned Kmart for a book sale sounded a lot sketchier than it turned out to be. The sale: the 2008 Wake County Public Library Book Sale.
The annual Wake County Public Library Book Sale will [...]
Now in my senior year in seminary, I’ve witnessed it many times. A professor has expounded key Scriptures on a subject but very carefully avoided devoting himself to a specific system of thought or theology. His seemingly skirting around the issue is not unintentional, however, I’ve learned. This drives students crazy.
“Show us your cards!” “Ally [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve done a weekly review post; but since I’ve listened to some rather impressive things this week, I wanted to fill you in with the goods:
Upon recommendation I bought Flame’s latest album entitled Our World Redeemed. Amazing Christian rap. I especially like the last track, Joyful Noise, and number seven, [...]
School started back up the end of this week…which means that the quotables will now start rolling in. Dr. McDaniel reminded us this morning (at 7:30am!) that during Jesus’ temptation, he pulled directly from Deuteronomy to combat the Adversary
“If your struggle against sin depended on your knowledge of Deuteronomy, how well would you do?”

…ordering one of my required textbooks for a seminary class from a popular online retailer, I notice that the first line of the book is the following:
“I did not plan to be a heretic. It just happened.”
Great! Let’s go Fall 2008: The Year Seminarians Become Heretics Unawares.
The latest post on the new Sovereign Grace blog recaps the sermon delivered by C. J. Mahaney at SEBTS’ 2008 20/20 Conference Missio Dei just a week ago. Find there an overview of the conference, an outline of Mahaney’s message “The Cup”, and Dr. Akin’s conclusion:
I was listening very carefully when C.J. preached. Sometimes at [...]
It looks like it’s going to be a fun semester for chapel messages at Southeastern. I’m particularly excited (and you should be too) to hear John Lennox of the University to Oxford throw down. Just look at his jolly face…and you haven’t heard him speak yet. What a gracious, calculated (yes, pun intended–considering he’s a [...]
Leaving on Wednesday (12/12), we’re heading to England over Christmas and New Years. We’ll be back just in time (the day before) to start our respective schools on January 7th. J-term Hebrew I, here I come.
As long as Dr. Hogg teaches, there’s only one choice for Church History at Southeastern. Dr. David S. Hogg is also the only Church History professor I’ve taken at Southeastern. But as I say to people who ask why I got married so young: why keep looking if you’ve found what you were looking for? [...]
Our SEBTS president, Dr. Akin, emailed to the student body and posted on his website the paper he delivered at the SBC Building Bridges Conference this week entitled “Answering the Call to a Great Commission Resurgence.” I’ve yet to give it a gander, but can guess where he’s going to go with it and am [...]
