    Realizing Seminary’s Not for You
    I think it’s time for me to start the site NotGoingToSeminary.com. It’s almost been five whole months since my last article was posted on this site. Much has happened. As I recently revealed in a recent post on my personal site, I’m not going back to Westminster Theological Seminary next year. I’m a young man. At the time of this writing I am a week or so past...

    Bookstores on Twitter
    I work at the bookstore at the Orlando campus of Reformed Theological Seminary, and we’ve been slowly experimenting with using Twitter as a way to send out notices about promotions and sales.  We’re slowly building up our number of followers, and we’ve started to garner some business with it. Aside from RTS and Westminster Bookstore, I’ve had trouble...

    One Month. Disappointment: The Results of Idolatry.
    This is a guest post written by Monica Marusek. Monica recently began her seminary studies at Gordon-Conwell. You can read more of Monica’s writing  at Reform and Revive. Seminary has not been my only idol the past year… as I stood beside a fellow seminarian at the Andrew Bird concert in Boston I thought about how dissatisfied I was at my life, overall. While...

    Ministry in a Rural Context
    There is a book at the RTS Orlando Bookstore called Rural Evangelism: Catching the Vision. I haven’t read it yet, though I want to. The author’s intention is basically to help rural congregations avoid stagnation and decline by engaging in evangelism methods tailored to the rural context they find themselves in. Christians in rural settings have some unique challenges...

    Godliness is of Value in Every Way
    As I began discerning a call to seminary, 1 Timothy 4:6-16 came up early and often. Early in the discernment process, when I read that passage, I ended up focusing my attention on parts of verse 6, “you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.” Early on, this verse encapsulated...

    Balancing Church and Seminary
    Seminary students are a transient bunch.  They blow into town, spend three years too busy to do anything but study, and then they’re gone.  For many of them (or, I should say, us), the whole seminary thing can seem like a hassle.  If we didn’t need to do it, we probably wouldn’t.  But is such pessimism really warranted?  In other words, does seminary...

    Site Update
    I’ve been wanting to update the site for a while now and have finally found the time to do it. The new design is live (RSS readers come check it out) and I’ll likely be tweaking it here and there over the next week. One of the coolest upgrades in this version of GtS is the inclusion of threaded comments. This means that you can reply to someone elses comments...

    God-Honoring Reluctance
    This post was written by Stephen Hess, a Rhode Island native and recent graduate of the University of Richmond, Virginia. Stephen will be heading off to St. Louis in August for the 4-year M.Div program at Covenant Theological Seminary. About a month ago, I came across an Acts 29 Network Boot Camp message from Darrin Patrick, Lead Pastor of The Journey in St. Louis, entitled,...

    Who Are You?
    When I visited the site this morning, I noticed the little Feedburner reader count on the right side. At that time it said we had 277 people subscribing to this blog. That’s a pretty impressive number. It then occurred to me that with that number, we’ve probably got quite a diversity of readers. We’re glad that we can reach out this big of an audience. That...
