A Productive Fall

Fall was beautiful in Banská Bystrica this year and winter came early, with snow on Nov 1.  I've been taking advantage of a fairly light teaching load this fall to work on my book and a couple of articles from the creation project. 

We'd appreciate your prayers for a special financial need we have. See the featured post below on funding my position at the seminary for more information. 

I've been very encouraged lately by growth I've seen in some of my students. I've seen a flowering love for God's Word and a realization of how important it is for the church to be solidly grounded in Scripture.

Thank you for your prayers and support this year that have made this ministry at the seminary possible.


Funding My Position at the Seminary

We have a special financial need coming up in early 2018 in order to continue funding the “grant” that covers my teaching position at the seminary. When First Evangelical Free Church in Rockford, IL found out about this need, they offered to match any special giving toward the grant. If you can make a special donation toward our ministry between now and the end of January, that donation will be doubled by First Free.

The Evangelical's Creation Conundrum


I'm afraid there's no new content to my series on creation since I'm pressed with deadlines for journal articles and my Genesis book. Hopefully, I'll be posting the next article soon. To see it when it comes out, get an email when we post new content or subscribe to our RSS feed. Coming Up: God's creation as a temple--a place to dwell in the presence of a holy God and experience his unmitigated provision and protection.

Personal Impact: 'Clara'

I've been very encouraged by some of my students' excitement for studying Scripture. This post is the story of four students in one. For each of them, the process of writing their Bachelor's thesis deepened their love of God's word.
 

Theological Differential Equations

Everybody does theology, the question is do you do theology well. I wrote this post to help people understand why theological education is so important for the church (and as a tribute to my dad).
