Jeff PattersonPerhaps you have encountered some unexpected hardship as a seminary student this semester. Lost a job? Seen unexpected expenses creep up. Seen a side of your anger you didn’t realize was there? God is not surprised. Nor should we be (at least...
subtext is a recent addition to the web and blogosphere world, headed up by pastors Joe Thorn and Steve McCoy. It may be a helpful resource for all of us who live on the outskirts of the City (and for those who live anyone, for that matter)...
Happy 10th Birthday to Google. You have changed the internet for good.
Josh Harris recently post the last of six preacher’s notes in a series. The most recent one is Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle. Mark’s notes as he preached from John 17? Two post-its in his Bible. One of expository notes on...
Jake BelderWhile you are in seminary, it is likely that you will come into contact with the term “worldview.” If you have really smart professors or fellow students who want to impress you with their knowledge, you might hear them use the word...
Greek has seemed to be a little disjointed until we arrive in the relative deep-end of participles this semester. I am certainly still wading around in the shallow end, but being pushed further into learning how to swim in this new language (but...
I first heard the audio of this short interview with Pastor John Piper about a year and a half ago. (Audio of the whole thing here.) Apparently one of the pastors in the gathering took a live video of it. Enjoy it, and allow the truth to sink into...

Kari PattersonFor awhile I’ve wanted to write about discovering the treasure that is the seminary faculty, but realized it would be a little hypocritical coming from me. (Chad mentions this topic in his Top 5 “secret” tips for your first...
Ryan BurnsIf you’re a Logos user and a Mac user (like myself) I wanted to let you know that Logos Mac Beta 1 has been released. I downloaded and took it for a spin and was pretty pleased with the release. Here’s to looking forward to the full...
The folks at Desiring God are now selling “Don’t Waste Your Life” shirts. If you are looking for a great way to start up a gospel conversation with a complete stranger, this shirt will open doors.
I just wanted to use the fact that several hundred Christians read this blog in order to ask that you take a moment to pray for my Grandmother. A couple days ago she tried to take her own life. She is currently in the hospital and having more than a...
I too am speechless… (notice that the copyright at the end is 2007).
First off, this post will only be helpful to those who own a Logos Library. If you don’t own Logos yet, you might want to after you read this post. If you go shopping after this, remember you can save 25% on your Library purchase using the...
Mark, over at Seminary Survival Guide, has a post about cheating in seminary. Very interesting stuff.
I just spent the past 20 minutes trying to find live coverage of the Apple announcement online… after being frustrated and surprised that I couldn’t find any it dawned on me that today is the 8th and the announcement is tomorrow...
Chad BrooksThe greatest task of the seminarian is to somehow separate the devotional life from the academic life. It is the failure to do this that causes many ministers to speak ill of their time in seminary. The fact is, as ministers we have to read...
I’m posting this mostly because I have a strange fascination with IRS laws relating to the church and pastors. It might have something to do with my stint as a church bookkeeper. Regardless of my personal oddity, Justin Taylor has a post about...
I just wrote a post over on my Best Bible site you might be interested in checking out: The Pope and The Bible.
This is a guest post by John Dyer. John is the director of web development at DTS and creator of the site Best Commentaries. In my final year at Dallas Seminary I began to emerge from a time where I had become somewhat cynical. As I thought about...
Not sure what’s going on, but it sounds intense. I’d suggest subscribing to the Said at Southern RSS to keep tabs on whatever develops… or at lest for further comments on what happened.
Mark Driscoll has some good advice for studying the Bible.
Please continue to pary for Molly and the McCoy’s.
Shelby Murphy has a great post entitled, “Redeeming Culture for Dummies.” I always love his insight and this brief “how-to” article is great for dummies like me… I’m suggesting his next post be “The Idiots...
Ever thought about cremation? Dr. Richard Mouw, president of Fuller, has an interesting post on his blog about “Towards a Theology of Cremation.”

Well, it has been a while since we launched our first Going to Seminary interview. We were honored to start with such a great professor and theologian like John Frame, however, that did set the bar pretty high for us. That said, I’ve been...
Whew! I finally had a moment to figure out what caused the popular post plugin to crash in WP 2.6. So, if you go to the home page you’ll see a list of the most popular posts from the last 30 days. For those interested in knowing what I...
