“Michael Behe, on Feb. 26 releases Darwin Devolves: The New Science About DNA That Challenges Evolution (HarperOne). Behe brings to bear studies that ‘have only become available in the past few decades due to rapid advances in laboratory techniques that closely examine the molecular level of life.’” - World

Personal Thoughts About Commentaries: Mark

By Paul Henebury on Thu, 02/07/19

Read the series.

Mark’s Gospel is terrific for the preacher. It really comes into its own when expounded. Any commentary on this book that keeps flipping back and forth between Mark, Matthew and Luke should not be considered a first choice. There is now an embarrassment of fine resources. Here is my list:

Still Young, Restless, and Reformed? The New Calvinists at 10

By Filings on Tue, 02/05/19
Body

“Many youth even in evangelical churches think God is distant and uninvolved, though still concerned with our good behavior. Mostly, though, he just wants us to be happy. So religion in our secular age aims to give us what we want, in material or therapeutic terms.” - 9 Marks

By Filings on Tue, 01/22/19
Body

“Man is ‘neither a machine nor a self-contained soul,’ as materialist and spiritualist views of human life erroneously claim. We are instead hybrid creatures—body and soul—living in ‘the material world, subject to the passage of time, and yet mysteriously able to go beyond the agenda that is set, to reshape…’” - C.Today

Body

“In this story there is a real evil, real danger, real pain. And, more importantly, real hope and real joy. I felt the story showed respect to the feelings and thinking of kids: it avoided cloying, no-fall-ever-happened saccharinity; and yet it didn’t over-burden the kids with darkness.” - Mark Ward
