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!

The Genre of the Book of Revelation
If you are going to attempt interpreting Scripture properly, you need to consider the type of genre you are considering. Most interpretive mistakes take place because people simply are unaware of certain guidelines involved with interpreting the Bible. So how do we...
Why I am “Charismatic” (part 1)
Why in the world would a theologically-informed lover of all things related to Scripture and the church consciously identify with a movement that is often associated with people like Benny Hinn or Todd Bentley? Don't guys like that make me "theologically sick"? Yes,...
God’s Meticulous Sovereignty in Tornadoes
When tornadoes, storms, floods, or other natural disasters and accidents happen, lots of questions get raised. John Piper, a man I greatly respect and have been blessed by, hasn't been afraid to address the big questions that arise when they happen. In 2009 a tornado...
The Best Place to Take a Field Trip: The Dump
Randy Alcorn's book Money, Possessions, and Eternity is full of a lot of really valuable biblical principles regarding the issue of money and materialism. In chapter twenty, Alcorn writes on "Battling Materialism in the Christian Family." It's the type of chapter that...
Displeasing God: Signs of a Really Bad Day
One of the saddest moments in the Old Testament is found when the Lord tells Samuel, "Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them." (1 Sam. 8:7) Every time I read that my...
Revelation, by James M. Hamilton Jr.
My collection of commentaries is probably out of hand. I own all of the NICNT, Pillar, New American, Baker New Testament, Tyndale, NIV Application, Baker Exegetical, and many others. Okay, it's not out of hand at all and I'm giddy when I think about sitting in my...
The Driscoll’s on The View
Yesterday Mark & Grace Driscoll were on ABC's The View (you can watch the video here). They were being interviewed concerning their book Real Marriage. The more that Christians are given opportunities to share their faith in the national spotlight the more that...
Geerhardus Vos’ Reformed Dogmatics is coming!
Logos has announced that Geerhardus Vos' Reformed Dogmatics is being translated into English under the watchful eye of Richard B. Gaffin (Westminster Theological Seminary). This should be pretty awesome. Vos' Biblical Theology and Pauline Eschatology are excellent...
The Holy Spirit As the Agent of Refreshment
This past Sunday I started teaching a new series called, "Baggage: Learning to Let Go." We're spending the month of March exploring how God frees us from our past as well as discussing how important it is to work through things that we carry around with us. Our first...
Worship As Presentation
Been having a lot of conversations about "worship" lately. Having grown up in many "charismatic" types of churches, "worship" has often been understood in relation to music, with most "revelation" about "worship" coming from musicians and singers. To this day I still...
