    How to develop a personal learning plan for the new year
    Jack was frustrated as he stared at his laptop screen. He was on an annual personal retreat planning his twelfth year as senior pastor at Christ Community Church. The screen showed all his learning activities from the year before – the conferences, seminars, and classes he had attended; the books he had read; the sermons he had studied; and the leadership groups he...

    The Dog Ate My Paper! (hard drive nightmares)
    We’ve heard hundreds of horror stories of students losing their paper. Whether it is computer theft or a hard drive crashing, we are all vulnerable to loss of intellectual property. Days, even months of work can disappear in an instant. Each term we exhort students to back up their data frequently, but faculty members are just as guilty of not taking the necessary...

    A Great, Simple, and Cheep Tool Every Seminarian Should Own
    Going to seminary involves books… LOTS of books. Half way through my first semester I saw a guy in class open one of his books and proceed to place it on the small metal stand… BRILLIANT I thought. Right there, next to his laptop sat his book, wide open and propped up to reduce having to bend over. The next day I went to my local Barnes and Nobel and picked...

    Thrity Thursday – Great Commentary
    Ok, we’re seminarians and we love books. I don’t often recommend books here as I’m sure you already have a backlog of books on your “to be purchased” list.

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...
