I appreciate that a lot of folks have started reading the blog and so I thought I pen a light-hearted “About Me” type deal. Here it is. My name is Douglas Kofi Adu-Boahen. I’m 20 years old and I live in London, England. I’m the oldest of four kids – two brothers (Josh and Mike) [...]

Well over a year ago, after receiving one too many pieces of bad news on a Wednesday night, I had a mini-breakdown of sorts due to my struggle with depression. I even vented about it on the blog in a disturbing mixture of anger, grief and frustration. That was a year ago, and since I [...]

The following is the first of a three-part expansion of my notes for a Bible study I taught recently from 1 Peter 1:22-2:3 for my Skype Bible study. The audio will be posted later. Introduction Our adversary is content for us to be spiritual. After all, he is indeed a spiritual being. I’d go so [...]

I am aware that in our present age to say anything critical of Paul Washer in the wrong circles is tantamount to touching Jesus, but since he is a human being, and so am I, I submit the following (please watch the whole thing before continuing) Now I am not saying that he isn’t saying [...]

I begin this piece with a question. Could John Calvin, the (in)famous Genevan Reformer, Biblical scholar and theological powerhouse actually get a job (for lack of a better expression) in the pastorate today?   Before you answer, we’re talking about a man who preached pretty much every day across Geneva and was so dedicated to [...]

Dr R.C. Sproul interviews Dr. D.A. Carson on Biblical exegesis:

My name is Douglas and I am a geek. I spend my free time either reading or learning more about Linux distributions, being an Ubuntu user (you can read all about my new-found love of open-source stuff here). Most of my reading is Biblical and theological in nature – commentaries, doctrinal books, Puritan works, reference [...]

In my last post, I made my pitch to Windows users (Mac users, you’re good – enjoy what you have ) to abandon Linux and come over to Linux, particularly Ubuntu Linux. In that post, I went into an exposition of sorts on the benefits of the Ubuntu setup and why it, quite frankly, owns [...]
