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...
Ryan BurnsI’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.”
If you’re interested in the New Living Translation Study Bible, you can check it out online with a free 30 day trial.
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...
Someone finally found a good use for windows.
Terry DelaneyIntroduction The longer I am a Christian, the more I discover the power of what I call the ministry of prayer. It seems as though praying is a difficult thing for most people to do. According to one professor, quoting statistics from a prayer...
Seriously, this was a big surprise to me. China has one of the world’s largest Bible printers. They have printed more than 50 MILLION copies. You gotta check this out.
I remember my grandmother thought it was a disastrous thing to write in a Bible. I also remember seeing other kids write in hymnals and thinking they were going to Hell. Between a rabid fascination with the Bible and classical music training I have...
Here is an interesting book for all you bloggers out there: The New Media Frontier: Blogging, Vlogging, and Podcasting for Christ. From Crossway: “A Pew Study reports that only 2% of America’s twelve million bloggers claim...
Ephesians 4:14 blog released what looks to be a GREAT plugin for adding and organizing sermons to WP. You can see this great app in action at Bethel Evangelical Church’s website. GREAT functionality.
Another semester is upon us. For most students in general, and seminarians in particular, we all try to start the semester strong. Many, like myself, have learned from semesters past that at some point before final exams, we will fall behind in some...
A comment by Mark Warnock got me thinking… ESV readers are a lot like Mac users. (BTW, I’m both)
Jake BelderWe have a huge variety of technological aids at our dispense to help keep us organized. From PDAs to Blackberrys to online calendars, our lives can be organized at the tip of our fingers. I’ve never gotten into those methods. In fact, I...
Hey everyone, whether you know the McCoy’s or not, please take a 2 minutes to go read this post and say a prayer for Molly, Steve, and their family. Also, please post a link up on your blogs and ask other to do the same. Remember, “If...
I’m beginning to think I should just have a mini feed to this section coming from Justin Taylor’s blog… none the less, he has Miller’s prayer transcript posted.
Stumbled upon this today. Good advice for seminarians and pastors.
Godtube.com has a helpful breakdown of the Saddleback Civic Forum
There is an interesting conversation taking place over at Said at Southern. Tony Kummer has asked us how we go about reading books for seminary classes. Mark Warnock of Seminary Survival Guide fame has added some great insight. Check out the article...
The family seems to always lose! This week, the first week of classes, has been an extraordinarily busy week. For many seminary students, I am sure this is a true statement. For seminary students who either work in a secular job or a ministry at a...

Jeff PattersonFor the last couple years I’ve been blessed to be a teaching assistant for first-year Theology at Multnomah (actually co-TA, as Kari does most of the paper-grading). Once or twice a semester I get to fill-in for our prof and teach (preach!) on...
If God grants me 100 years on this earth, there is nothing I’d rather do on my birthday than preaching! Check this out! I’m totally pumped!
