So for Christmas, my Dad bought me a Western Digital 1.5 TB (terabyte) hard drive from TigerDirect.com. No issues with TigerDirect to be clear.

Is Truth Really Plural? Postmodernism in Full Flower – Albert Mohler (A Review of John R.

American Patriot’s Bible – Words Cannot Describe II
America has a rich history rooted in the Christian faith, drawing many principles from Scripture. And while this is true, it does not lend us the conclusion that America was a “Christian nation,” even at our founding. Such an assumption is absurd and presents a misguided interpretation of history and a misunderstanding of the nature [...]
American Patriot’s Bible – Words Cannot Describe
American Patriot’s Bible: combining God’s infallible Word with the idolatry of American nationalism. If there is anything that really gets my blood boiling, it is any piece of merchandise or any program or movement that holds up the idea that being an American equals being a converted, born-again Christian, something plaguing many of our churches [...]
The Shack – A Review
There are so many reviews that have done a fine job of explaining the pros and cons of this book that I don’t feel I need to go into this for very long. First, I’ll just say that after reading it, the picture of God’s sovereignty and reasons for ordaining that suffering be are attractive, [...]

Interview conducted by Kendall Adams with William P. Young, author of The Shack: http://rock-life.com/files/shakcomp.mp3 (To hear the specific denial, fast-forward 16 minutes into the audio) I realize many people have a love affair with The Shack. I know some of those very people. They find it to have really given them a ‘fresh’ perspective of [...]
How Did the Economic House of Cards Fall? (MP3′s)
These two three four five six radio programs on This American Life do an excellent job of giving an on-the-street perspective from the Wall Street investors to the lenders all the way down to the individual home-buyers and finally the results of the recession in everyday life. In addition, there is a very good explanation [...]
Since When Did Sesame Street Go Ghetto?
I used to love this show growing up. It was very influential in my early developmental years. I loved all the characters and the songs and it used to be a defining time during the weekdays when I knew my dad was coming home from work. Needless to say, I have very fond memories of [...]
MP3 Sermons on Romans 9 – John Piper
If you really want to dive deep into the implications and ramifications of God’s grace and mercy to us in Christ, you really need to take the time to listen to this series of sermons on Romans 9 by John Piper. Romans 9 answers these questions (though Romans 10-11 continues the answers as well): “If [...]
