Fly Fishing Nor Cal
I specialize in fly fishing from a drift boat on the Lower Sacramento or wading the Upper Sacramento RiverNorthern California has some of the best fly fishing in the United States without the crowds that many of the rivers in Montana, Colorado, and Alaska attract. With year-round fisheries for trout, steelhead, striper, and more, it’s hard to imagine a better location for those who love fly fishing!

Furthering the Gospel Story through Telling and Hearing
My first experience of doing "evangelism" was when I was around fifteen years old and our youth group traveled to an inner city neighborhood. After some training, we broke up into teams and went door to door to "share our faith." The catch, of course, was that we...
The Most Biblical Form of Government Better Have Some Old Testament!
Kenny has written an interesting post on the most biblical form of church government. I'll be honest. I was very disappointed in it. How could a person suggest a biblical model(s) for church government without mentioning the Old Testament. I'm disappointed, Kenny....

Ray Van Neste on the Frequency of the Lord’s Supper…
Great quote here: "A typical argument against this idea [of the weekly celebration of the Lord's Supper] is, "If we do this so often it will become less meaningful." At first this has the appearance of wisdom; but with just a little pondering the illusion fades. Do we...
The Molt on Science and Faith…
So this week has been full of buzz regarding the relationship between faith/religion and science. For those of you sleeping under a rock, Bill Nye "the Science Guy" and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis participated in a "debate" about creation (video here). I watched it...

Searching the Molt’s Pneumatology for his Thoughts on Charismata
I've heard through various sources that the Molt has become a Pentecostal. I'm not sure if that's accurate, but I do know that he and Pentecostals have been in dialogue. Since I'm currently in the midst of spending a lot of my academic time focused on studying issues...
Experience is NOT the Big Bad Wolf of Theological Construction
Over the past few months I've observed that Cessationists and Continuationists have essentially dug their heals in. As I've already pointed out, the Strange Fire Conference was a model of what not to do and how not to do polemics. Yet I've also found some of the...
Moltmann on the New Creation…
For today's Fridays with the Molt, I would like to point you to something I stumbled upon. Writing about the Apostle John's Revelation, the Molt writes, "Whom does John see? He sees the infinite, eternal God coming to the finite beings he has created and to this...
Writing Papers Using Logos Bible Software
Last month I started working on a paper for the academic program I'm currently in and I'm very glad I had Logos Bible Software to help me. There are a couple reasons why Logos saved me time and energy and gave me more time to research and read helpful books and...
