  • Moms Going to Seminary
    The other day I received an email from a mom who was planning on starting seminary. She mentioned that she had trouble finding any sites or resources online that helped her with her unique situation. So, I did some investigating and was able to find some women who had some advice to give from their seminary experience. Today is the first of those interviews. Name: Susan...

  • Keep Your Emails!
    I was in St. Louis a few weeks ago and was given a tour of the PCA Historical Center by its director, Wayne Sparkman. The Center is situated on the campus of Covenant Theological Seminary. While he was showing us some of the collections, he noted that some major figures in Presbyterian history had kept all of their correspondence and writings, while others had requested...

  • Fall, In Line
    It’s hard to imagine that I’m already buying books for the fall semester. Don’t get me wrong, I have come to thoroughly enjoy, and, even get excited about, buying books (endless thanks to God for the opportunity and the means!). What is hard to fathom, however, is that I am about to start my second year in seminary. I concur with James that we “are...

  • The Seminary Classroom and Doxology
    This guest post was written by Daniel F. Wells. Daniel is a twenty-something year old with a B.A. in Bible & Religion and Philosophy from Erskine College and is currently a student at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte.

  • Save $105 – Thrifty Thursday
    Jenn and I are trying to wipe out our last bit of debt. Prior to packing up and moving to Orlando, we (er… ok, it was mostly my stupid decision) took out a loan in order to buy a Jeep. We used part of the loan to pay for the 1979, midnight blue, custom rebuilt 350, dual side exhaust, CJ7 (oh, how I miss that jeep). The rest of the loan we used to cover some expenses...

  • Here’s To Changing Attitudes
    I have a way of getting through something tough and then wishing I could go back and do it again.  It’s not that I enjoy torturing myself.  Rather, it’s that I usually learn a lot under such stress.  Because I knew more coming out of the experience than I did going in, there are some things I would do differently. There is one lesson in particular...

  • A By-Product of Family Worship
    If you are anything like me, then you experience seasons where you either are not able to read your Bible for personal edification or you seem to just run out of time each day. What makes it real bad is that I am a seminary student. Even worse than that, I am serving as a minister! I realize I may be sharing too much with my personal devotional life, but I do so knowing...

  • 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...

  • 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...
