Y’all. You can get the ENTIRE Tyndale Old Testament and New Testament Commentary series for $112! www.logos.com/product/1…
What I’m thinking about today: (1) how do we distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary theological commitments? (2) (how) can maintaining fellowship with sinners be conducive to developing a virtuous/holy community?
Today is my last class ever in my Ph.D. program!
Senioritis, only you’ve been in school post-high-school for almost as long as you were in K-12.
“Faith” in response to the gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t just about what you think or how you feel. It’s about how you live your life. Jesus is King. Are you loyal to him? #GospelAllegiance
So, I’m not finding the Slow Carb Diet very conducive to (1) being sick and/or (2) having to read/think/write all day.
If you were, say, leading a discussion at a men’s small group gathering on the topic of “friendship,” what questions would you ask?
What’s your opinion? Can a Ph.D. student pay someone to produce a translation of a work that they’re researching, as long as the student is still held accountable to the original text in their research and writing?
This was a punch in the gut. “…I need to make clear why for most people the language of being sick seems more intelligible than being a sinner. I think the answer is very simple—we are atheists.” Hauerwas, “Sinsick,” in Sin, Death, and the Devil, p.8.
Time to buckle down and finish out the semester! Just need 20 pages on how Thomas Aquinas read the Beatitudes…

Got to hear our second child’s heartbeat today!!! Baby Steele #2 will be arriving sometime in July!
Alright, folks. I’m jumping back on the #SlowCarbDiet bandwagon this month. Anyone want to join me?
The “Romans Road” is a poor summary of (1) the gospel—the good news that Jesus is King—and (2) St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans! #GospelAllegiance
“To practice Advent is to lean into an almost cosmic ache: our deep, wordless desire for things to be made right and the incompleteness we find in the meantime.” Opinion - Want to Get Into the Christmas Spirit? Face the Darkness - The New York Times
“Footprints in the Snow” by mei matsuoka is like the kids’ version of “Continuidad de los parques” by Julio Cortázar.
Quite happy with this Buffalo Trace bourbon! A small step up from my usual Evan Williams Black Label. 🥃
Question: How does Squarespace stack up as a blogging platform vs. Wordpress?
As my residential obligations to Wheaton’s Ph.D. program come to an end in the spring, I’m starting to explore looking for full-time work w/benefits. Could start in May 2020. Contact me if you think I’d be a good fit for a certain position!
Celebrating my first Eucharist as a priest this evening!
Is Christ present in the sacraments through the priest/celebrant? In the elements (water, bread, wine)? In the entire acts of the church, clergy and lay, as it gathers? Yes!
I haven’t had the time to engage with @MatthewWBates work. But “The King Jesus Gospel” by @scotmcknight was life-changing for me in college, and I look forward to reading Bates’ “Salvation by Allegiance Alone” and “Gospel Allegiance” at some point!
“Faith in Jesus Christ” = “allegiance to Jesus Christ.” Read @scotmcknight’s summary of @MatthewWBates book, “Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ” here: www.patheos.com/blogs/jes…
Help me out: what’s the best discussion you’ve ever encountered on how to go about distinguishing between primary and secondary theological commitments, between the essentials and the adiaphora? I’m looking for sources for a research project.
