About
I'm a Christian, a husband, a father of three, and a full-time theological student. I enjoy theology, social media, photography, reading and freshly brewed coffee.
You'll find me microblogging Reformed Theology (with a little bit of technology, photography and culture) and tweeting much the same thing. Occasionally, I upload photos to Flickr too.
I haven't had much opportunity to take photos during my time away, but I managed to capture this shot of a blue slide while taking my oldest daughter to a playground.
Clearly I've done some post production work (namely a blue hue) but I was really amazed by the lines, curves, textures, and reflections naturally occurring on this piece of play equipment.
David Murray has made his first ever e-Book available for free download. It is entitled, How Sermons Work - An Introduction to Sermon Preparation, and although I've yet to read it, from the table of contents it looks to be a helpful resource.
It's on my to read list, why don't you download it and tell me (and David Murray) what you think.

3's What's New blog pointed me to this Coke powered Nokia mobile. Daizi Zheng is behind this project and says:
"In order to use the bio-battery as a power source for the phone all that is required is a small supply of a sugary drink. Once the battery dies only oxygen and water remains. Bio-batteries are fully biodegradable and have, on a single charge, a potential life-span three to four times longer than conventional lithium batteries. Meanwhile, bio-batteries are a whole new way of looking at batteries and afternoon tea."
I'll try not to think of this the next time I consume an ice-cold bottle of battery fluid, I mean, a Coke.

It has been quiet around here for the last few days. Although not planned, I've jumped out of the blogosphere (and the Twittersphere) and it's possibly going to continue for several more days.
This unplanned break began due to a hectic schedule as I'm prepared to resume my studies for 2010 and my desire to catch up on some reading and spend some quality time with my wife and girls. We are also all heading away on a short holiday for the next week or so before the bell rings in the middle of February.
I'll be back soon, but thought you might like to know about this short, unplanned break.

Flickr posted a link to this very creative gallery that allows you to look into the past by combining two photos.
There is a Flickr group dedicated to this theme as well.

Nathan Pitchford has produced some really helpful material in the past (remember his work on baptism). Well, he's now released a book entitled Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology that can be purchased or downloaded for free.
Although I've not read the 258 pages (I've only just discovered its existence minutes ago!) looking through the table of contents and skimming a couple of sections leads me to conclude that this should be another beneficial addition to Pitchford's collection.
If you have the money, consider encouraging Nathan Pitchford by purchasing a copy of Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology.

According to Google:
"The Street View Trike will help Google gather images of off-the-beaten track and pedestrian-only locations across the country, taking Street View beyond road-accessed landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge to places like Taronga Zoo and perhaps even national parks."
mUmBRELLA reports that Google's Street View Trike debuted today in Sydney, Australia.
If the embedded video doesn't work you can see the Google Street View Trike here.
Update: Thanks to Joanna for pointing me to these pics googledownunder tweeted yesterday.

I'm a frequent listener of Covenant Radio. I've mentioned previously that they have launched a new venture, Sola 5 Radio. I've not tuned in much as streaming internet radio station doesn't fit well with my lifestyle; however, for many it would. Regrettably, it appears that those who would be able to take advantage of this have not noticed the launch of Sola 5 Radio or haven't bothered to tune in yet.
From all accounts this venture appears to be a unique and beneficial offering to the Body of Christ. However, if there is not a significant increase in listeners it will be closing down. Todd Pedlar writes:
If we don't get substantially more listeners than we have now, we're going to have to pull the plug. Bill has just started seminary full time, and I, as a college professor, really don't have much time at all to devote to this project - though I have put in some and would love to continue, if it seems worthwhile. At this point, with only a couple listeners online apart from Bill and me, both of us are fairly well convinced that it's not.
Please show your support of Sola 5 Radio.
You can download the programming guide, tune in via your browser, or listen via iTunes.

R. Scott Clark has a helpful piece discussing circumcision and baptism in Colossians 2:11-12.
If you're interested in such topics you may benefit from reading the comments as well.

Greg L. Bahnsen on the Word of God and apologetics:
"The Word of God should not be treated as a hypothesis to be proved by rational-empirical testing; it must never be reduced to the level of probability. It is the unquestionable Word of Christ our Lord; we must begin with its veracity and argue accordingly. It is the thinking of the rebellious sinner, not the Word of the Lord, that must be brought into question. Our defense of the faith does not work toward an honoring of Christ's lordship; it works under that lordship!" (p.27)
Taken from Presuppositional Apologetics: Stated and Defended by Greg L. Bahnsen.
You can read a review of this work over at Covenant Theology.
