I was surveying the facebook this morning and I came across this little ditty by Jessica Jones. Bottom line – she speaks the Gospel, clear, concise, and sincere …so I’ve “re-tweeted” JJ’s blog post here on the ECPC blog just in case you don’t traffic in the wild world of the facebook. Often I wonder […]
I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions (mostly because they tend to quickly fizzle out or are abandoned), but I AM a fan of developing good Christian habits. On that note, I was encouraged by the following blog post written recently by another pastor in our presbytery. He lays out 10 suggestions to […]
Well, it’s Christmas time! And of course that means we’re all ready to die. Right? Christmas time and death? …What do these have in common? What is Tyler talking about? Has he gone cray cray? …Has Tyler been overly-influenced by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)? Is Tyler denouncing the consumerism commercialism […]

There’s a human being named Jason Petty (come to think of it – there’s probably a few people with that name). He’s a rapper/spoken-word poet fella (alias Propaganda). On his album Excellent there’s a track entitled “Forgive Me For Asking.” Here’s how it goes: Question: (And this is embarrassing) You ever been scared you had […]
I subscribe to a magazine called Critique (A Ransom Fellowship Publication). I heartily commend it to you. I find it to be thoughtful, edifying, challenging, and insightful. Even when I disagree with the editor the clashes are still constructive (iron sharpens iron). I have been exposed to some of the most robust and enriching authors, […]
It’s been a long time since the last blog post here on the ECPC website. I know that all of you faithful blog readers have been going through withdrawals, but alas – here is a fresh blog post! Disclaimer: blogging is not my “unique ability” (at least I don’t think it is …but one can […]
8 years prior he had been the least self-controlled person she had ever encountered. However, now he was renown for being reasonable. Where was this reasonableness coming from?
