A Receipt. For Good Things.

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! — Matthew 7:11 ESV We asked. On every day of every week of the school year just passed, we asked the Lord to […]


Studying Scripture with the Global Church

Eddie D’Souza (4th-Year Seminarian), and I just returned from a week in Ambo, Ethiopia. We woke up each day heading into a training session on skills for interpreting New Testament epistles—focusing on Ephesians. And honestly, what could be better?  Teaching the Bible doesn’t get much better than (1) observing the spiritual blessings given to us […]


From Strength to Strength: Meditating on the Pearl of Psalms

Charles Spurgeon writes about Psalm 84, “This sacred ode is one of the choicest of the collection; it has a mild radiance about it, entitling it to be called The Pearl of Psalms.” This is a psalm for pilgrims who love the Lord, long for his presence, and live by faith in his precious promises. […]


Grace Upon Grace

These remarks were made at The President’s Reception during Commencement 2024. “God’s glory and brilliance is the principle of every nature” and thing.

This milestone marks the culmination of a four-year journey immersed in academic rigor, spiritual growth, and a life-changing community. As I […]


The Supremacy of Christ in the Message of Colossians

“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” (Col 2:6–7) I love the book of Colossians. It is one of my favorite New Testament books (among 26 others). I’m guessing that you […]


Please Study Theology

“Study Theology? Why in the world would you want to spend years of your life, and a great deal of energy and money, to study theology? What a waste of time!” “A philosophy degree? What, do you want to have a minimum wage salary for the rest of your life?” These, and many similar comments […]


Our God is a BIG God!

I recently had the privilege of meeting with my fellow trustees and cabinet members at our final board meeting of this school year.  On Friday, May 17th, we started our day with this devotional: Psalm 147:4-5  He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.  Great is our Lord […]
