Cloud: Free to Fly (Holy Trinity Brompton)
Free To Fly (Dovetail DOVE 16) 1975 Their first album is a lovely group of songs, most of which are drawn from the Scriptures. The cover suggests the album's content: soaring and ethereal.

Month of Sundays: Defeat
But, when the full time came, God sent his Son--born a woman's child, born subject to Law-- To ransom those who were subject to Law, so that we might take our position as sons. (Galatians 4:4-5) In 387 B.C. the Gauls came down from the north and defeated the Romans at the Battle of the …
To Reach a Destination, You Have to Have a Course: My Reply to Ron Krumpos, and to Rob Bell Too
It seems that the Christian world is all atwitter (literally, and elsewhere) about Rob Bell’s book Love Wins. Based on the information that’s available, he’s outed himself as a universalist, which frankly doesn’t sit well with me. In the meanwhile, it seemed that it was as good a time as any to post Antonia Tripolitis’ …
Return To The Divine: Salvation In The Thought Of Plotinus And Origen
This article, by Dr. Antonia Tripolitis, is presented here for three reasons: It is an excellent exposition of Origen's views of the difference between created and uncreated beings, one which I make in My Lord and My God.

Evidently someone else had the same idea. The result of that …

Month of Sundays: Cost
Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?-- For fear that, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, every one who sees it should begin to laugh at …

The Lesson of Ben Bernanke: You Can Always Fail If You Work Hard Enough At It
Although it bodes ill for our future, the following from Michael Pento is as succinct summary of our Fed's recent actions as one could want: It now appears that the United States has finally succeeded in its efforts to destroy confidence in the US dollar. Given the currency's reserve status, its ubiquity in financial markets, …

The Keyhole/The Way In (Church of the Redeemer)
It's hard to think of a group that defines 1970's Christian folk/coffee-house music as much as this one, which morphed into The Fisherfolk. The group had its start in 1969 as the resident singing group of The Way In, a Christian coffee-house in the Allen Landing area of Houston, Texas. The Way In was, in …
