This is a good work by Gordon Clark. A collection of essays put together in one volume, this work should be read by those who might be curious to see the way Clark goes about to apply his form of philosophical defense of the Word of God. The first chapter of “How may I know the Bible is Inspired?” is a must read for every Christian for every Christian that ever wonder about that question, and it does so within a presuppositional framework. Throughout the book are chapters in which Clark applies rigorous logical analysis to various critics against the Bible. For those who are use to an evidential bent in tackling critics of the Bible, one can learn something from reading Clark and seeing how to apply a presuppostional critique to the argument itself given by the critics and see how it breaks down philosophically. One sad note in reading this book is seeing the historical setting in which Clark wrote in, and the state of evangelical theological landscape today becoming worst than during his time. Clark throughout the book highly esteemed the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS), but the current state of ETS would very much disappoint him.

In our day of age of the media, fa fair trial is not always easy.  The media says it, therefore it must be true is the attitude today but this can be dangerous in a time where our media has been caught in down right fraudulent lies.

In light of this, our attitude should be one of being critical.  The above link is a link that asks for caution before jumping to the conclusion about the teacher who allegedly burned a painful cross on his student, and also provides the greater context of what happened.

I believe more now than ever, that there is a chance for moderate success in Iraq

I hope that as a result of recent military success, this would afford the opportunity for the Iraqis to be able to sustain their own government, and a government that would bring peace within their country…

A good piece over at Ravi Zacharias website titled, “When Theology Becomes Doxology ” by Jill Carattini.

I have been teaching Systematic theology for the last half year and this have been on my thoughts. I was planning to write something about this but haven’t gotten around to it.  Someone beat me to the punch, so why re-invent the wheel? Check it out!

IN 2008, AMERICANS HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN THE MILITARY THAN CONGRESS

I’ve been interested in the Annual Gallup poll concerning American’s trust of public institution since I learned about it last year from my Political Science class.
This year’s statistics is up!
http://www.gallup.com/poll/108142/Confidence-Congress-Lowest-Ever-Any-US-Institution.aspx



The highest: The military

The lowest: Congress

I wonder why that’s so…

I have been rather quiet alot on politics and the military lately on my blog, but I’ve been rather proud of our men and women in uniform, and I really do believe that there is a chance for moderate success in Iraq as compared to my thoughts in January of 2007

Having said that, I also realize how things are far from easy, and it grieves me to know guys getting stopped loss and lives being maimed, injured or killed; You can say I have a soft spot when it comes these things and I’ve prayed alot more recently for those in uniform the last two months than before
