Done with School for the Summer :)

May 24th, 2008

Ok, I’m done with school for the summer and Lord willing will have time to work on the site.  I plan to finish all of Edwards’ works Vol 2 and I may start some other authors.  I have been slowly adding some material to the Systematic Doxlogy wiki.  That is what it is intended to be, a systematic study of God’s glory in all of life.  I love to learn, and I wish that God would be mentioned in what I learn about.  I recently watched a program on polar exploration and have been reading stuff about DNA.  Wow! DNA is awesome.  I won’t go into it, but I wish that they would just say something about God’s wisdom and exeeding genius.  Science today has to inherently avoid any talk of purpose. Yes, they speak of evolutionary advantage and they sneak talk of the use or purpose of some organ into their statements, but they can never come out and say “this is intended to do this, and it does it very well, look how well this is designed”.

I wish there was a Christian discovery channel.

To Enjoy Him Forever

February 18th, 2008

I preached To Enjoy Him Forever February 17, 2008 at the Fulton Reformed Presbyterian Church. Have you ever been told that you are not to “do it for the reward”. What does that mean? Is it ok to seek joy or should we just let it come along side while we pursue our duties? All these issues are discussed in this sermon.

Bible Reading Plan Tracker and Audio

January 27th, 2008

The Bible reading plan tracker is finished. You may create a free account to keep visual track of your progress through the Bible.
I have a hard time completing a “read the Bible in a year” plan, but it may help some to go at your own pace more or less. Especially when you see how many short books there are that are less than or around 20 minutes. Once you get those done, you will have momentum and encouragement to keep going. Lord Willing.

Titles of Chapters for Calvin’s Institutes all added.

January 9th, 2008

All of the titles for the chapters in Calvin’s Institutes have been added. They are embeded in the mp3 and a php script reads them. Now you can go and see what all the chapters are for books 3 and 4.

Sermon and Bible Reading Tracker

January 6th, 2008

Here is a sermon I preached December 30, 2007 at the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Fulton, NY. It is titled “Get in the Word.”

In it I mention Bible reading plans, of which I created my own Bible reading tracker program. Here is a public example of the software
Feel free to play with it. I think I may make it publicly available on this site for people to create their own accounts and track their Bible reading progress.

INSTRUCTIONS
If you click on the Bible book name it will start playing the file in your media player.

When you have listened to however many chapters, click in the block that says 0/50 and type how many chapters you have read and hit enter.
The number will update and the green bar will advance. You can also set it back to zero by typing zero, or any other number.


This way you can see a visual progress of your Bible reading. One thing that helped me is to see how many short books that are less than 30 minutes there are and to tackle them first. I think I will break the big ones into 10 chapter chunks, and listen to 10 at a time.

I have never successfully gotten through a “Read the Bible in a Year” program. I want to make it easier for me to do so and so I made this software. It is very simple php and mySQL baked into the html page, with a little ajax to make it look seemless. The progress bars are just div elements displayed inline with a background color and contain a single period colored the same color as the background. They are generated by a php script with one div for each chapter.

If anyone would like to have the code behind it just ask.

We lost our baby.

December 22nd, 2007

Yesterday, 12/21/2007 my wife and I lost our baby who was 10 weeks into his pregnancy. We got to see him. He was well developed and we could see his hands and feet and fingers and toes. He was about 2 inches long. He looked like he had a smile on his face. My wife felt she should name him Daniel and because of his smile we called his middle name Allen which means “Cheerful”.
Daniel means, “The LORD is my judge”.
God is the supreme judge of what is good and not man. God is absolutely sovereign and gives and takes, makes the seeing and the blind, creates peace and brings calamity. Shall we not receive evil as well as good from the hand of the LORD. Amen
