Jim Hamilton Summarizes His Book: 500 Words
Exodus 34:6–7 is determinative for the thesis of this book. When Moses asked to see God’s glory, God proclaimed his name and declared himself to be merciful and just.

Subsequent biblical authors...

The Good Life: A Review as Rebuttal
The Good Life
I’m writing this review in an extremely abbreviated fashion. I don’t have a lot of time and I’m not writing for a website. I have no one to impress. Rhetorical flourish will be kept to an absolute minimum. If I can express my opinion about any particular aspect of this album in, oh, let’s say five words, I’ll try to do it in four.
If you’re wondering why I chose to write this...

Horrible Review →

Mission to End?

How About 'Disrespectful'?
How about “Tweeting during a sermon is disrespectful.”
If we were in conversation together when I suddenly looked down to my iPhone and started to type away, you might pause your dialogue and ask, “Is everything okay?”
“Sure,” I reply without looking up. “I just wanted to tweet what you just said.”
Stunned, you reply, “But I’m not...
