Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

Unceasing Worship, part 1
I’ve received a copy of Harold Best’s book Unceasing Worship: Biblical Perspectives on Worship and the Arts and have begun to read as I can on the bus to and from work. I’m hoping to post thoughts here as I make my way through it; not really a “book report” per se, but more my [...]
SoD: “Awesome God”
Today’s song was prompted by John Hobbins, who recently posted on marriage as a model of the relationship of God with his people as it is meant to be. This is in advance of a marriage he is officiating this weekend: “How did a TULIPy Waldensian pastor get asked by a flaming Pentecostal couple about [...]

A Biblical “Who’s Who” in the Edwards family

Where is God?
Rarely do I pass along jokes that end up in my Inbox, but this one is a little close to home with my own boys, Sam and Ben. A couple had two little mischievous boys, ages 8 and 10. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in [...]

Bible translation and personality type
Be sure to swing by Better Bibles and read about Wayne Leman’s current project, which is a hypothesis about a correlation between Bible translation style preferences and recognized personality traits, specifically the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) type indicators.

Who are we sacrificing to in marriage?
Oswald Chambers’ devotional My Utmost for His Highest includes the following quote today: “The sense of sacrifice appeals readily to a young Christian. Humanly speaking, the one thing that attracts to Jesus Christ is our sense of the heroic, [but] the sense of heroic sacrifice is not good enough.” There has been a lot written [...]

A critique of Full Preterism
Scott at Shadows of the Cross has posted Have Heaven and Earth Passed Away?, part one of an essay on why he has rejected Full Preterism: As a former Full Preterist, I believe it is necessary to explain the reasons why I have repented of promoting this system of bible prophecy.

SoD: “Jesus Loogie Boogie”
DMHO bandleader Denver Bierman applies a phrase or two from a different vernacular to this excerpt from the letter to the church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-21): “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.
