Week 1 of Men's Book Club
Tonight was the first night of men’s book club. We went through the first chapter of Humility by Wayne Mack. And it was so challenging! I thought it would be a good idea afterwards to note down things that stood out for my benefit as well as for the benefit of those who are reading this.

Why Did God Let Paul Become a Murderer? →
1. To put the perfect patience of Christ on display.
“I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience.” (1 Timothy 1:16)
2. To encourage those who think they are too sinful to have hope.
“I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were...

Consider the Glory of God →
Consider:
The glory of His Eternality that makes the mind want to explode with the infinite thought that God never had a beginning, but simply always was;
The glory of His Knowledge that makes the Library of Congress look like a matchbox and quantum physics like a first grade reader;
The glory of His Wisdom that has never been and can never be counseled by men;
The glory of...
The Voice of the Lord
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of...

Not paying attention in class
I love it when someone directs me to a new blog or site. And then instead of paying attention in class like I should, I spend all of class on that new site. Here’s the newest one that I spent all of class on. It’s by Pastor JR Cuevas from Lighthouse Bible Church San Jose.

– John M. Frame, The Doctrine of the Word of God, A Theology of Lordship Volume IV
“The spirit of autonomy underlies every sinful decision of every human being. As I noted earlier, it is irrational in an important sense. Paul tells us in Romans 1:18-32 that human beings know God clearly from his revelation to them in creation, but that nevertheless they choose to repress this knowledge and exchange it for a lie. How could anyone imagine that contradicting the Master of the...
"Paul, unphased" by Matt Chandler
Them: We'll kill you.
Paul: To die is gain.
Them: We'll leave you alone.
Paul: To live is Christ.
Them: We'll torture you.
Paul: I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Them: We'll put you in prison.
Paul: Well, give me a hymnal, I'll convert all your guards, lead them in praise and worship...
