    A Dizzy, Drained, and Delighted Seminary Student
    So, I haven’t written a personal post in a while, so I thought I’d catch you up to speed. HOWEVER, before I do, I have to express my amazement at the underwhelming response to the iPod giveaway.

    Finding the Will of God
    So, one of the books that helped me the most in finally making the decision to attend seminary was Bruce K. Waltke’s book, Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion? In his book Waltke masterfully addresses an issue that is all too common in the church, namely divination. Somewhere along the lines we have come to the conclusion that God is some con-man trying to...
