(Yes, it’s been almost two years since Part 1 but a lot has happened in the past two years which makes finishing this three-part series more opportune now than it was back in 2010. And so in the twin interests of getting more writing done on the blog and fulfilling my promise to my brother [...]



Resources on the Westminster Shorter Catechism

Feb 25th, 2012 | By | Category: Bible Study, Featured Article, Reformed Theology

Some friends of mine are working through the Westminster Shorter Catechism as part of their Young People’s Fellowship at church and since I’ll be going along (after all, it’s 25 mins from my house), I’ve decided to get studied up for each week’s sessions. I recently purchased an Android tablet (that’s the subject of another [...]



On Being Black and Reformed (1): Do I Have to Choose?: An Introductory Word

Nov 15th, 2011 | By | Category: Black and Reformed

Jun 20th, 2009 | By | Category: Uncategorized
