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 (3): Why Don’t We “Do Theology?” (Part 1)

Monergism.com, as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, is a darn well amazing site. If you don’t use it, hang your head in shame, repent and start using it LOL. I get email updates from them all the time, and I got a good one today. They featured a list of books which, after I [...]
