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!
If you want to get out, you can book me through Confluence Outfitters.
Drinking to the Glory of God: Challenging Fundamentalists to Read All of the Bible
I enjoy beer. There, I said it. But more than beer, I love Jesus and believe that the final authority in my life is the infallible Word of God. To some, I've already undermined my love for Jesus and Scripture because I do not have a personal vendetta against alcohol....
Kingdom Come, by Sam Storms (pt. 1 of 5)

Evangelical Theology is out!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!

Why #StrangeFire Should Have Included Continuationists
There's a lot of discussion still going on after all of the dust has been settling from the Strange Fire conference. It seems as if a majority of the feedback has been negative, with the primary criticism being how MacArthur and the conference misrepresented a great...
Where do the “Perishing Heathens” Go?
In 1843, Robert Moffat preached at the Barbican Chapel a sermon that raised the searching question of the eternal destination of those in foreign lands. He asked, "Who can look to the East Indies now, and to China now; who can look to those interesting portions of the...
Fallen, edited by Morgan & Peterson
When is the last time you read a book all about sin? You know, that icky stuff that a lot of television preachers don't like to talk about much. The last book I read that was almost exclusively on the topic of sin was John Piper's Spectacular Sins and that was in...
What should characterize a Christian worship gathering?
Several months ago we spent time working through 1 Corinthians 12-14. Within this “Early Church Worship Guide,” we clearly find the apostle Paul writing, “So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But all things should be...
Embracing Shared Ministry, by Joseph H. Hellerman
When I was younger, I was a part of a church that went through a leadership change and witnessed first hand how churches can fall apart quickly if they are too committed to a single leader. Over the years, I've remained concerned about this issue and have tried to do...
Pennington’s Case Against Continuationism…
I already wrote a long post on Strange Fire, so this will be a little shorter. Tim Challies has posted Tom Pennington's case for Cessationism. It probably has the most substance for Continuationists to consider out of all that has been shared thus far at MacArthur's...

In 2011 Kevin DeYoung asked, "What's Up with Lutherans?" His question was simply a conversation starter and brought about an excellent response by Paul T. McCain, "What About Those Lutherans?" Though Lutherans have similarities with Evangelicals, they are often not...
