Life updates: Wedding planning is fun. It's even more fun when you've a future wife who likes planning. Olivia came down to visit last week and we had the chance to go do some wedding registry stuff. I got to use the registry gun so it was pretty sweet (although I wasn't allowed to get my Spongebob soap dispenser).
I'm becoming a member of Christ Central Church. It's a local PCA church which is pretty sweet. It will be a good place to grow and serve in the years that Olivia and I will be down here.
I'm taking some sweet classes this semester, most notably a History of Philosophy in Christianity and Christian Encounter with Islam. Learning about philosophy is always fun (I'm a nerd, don't make fun) and learning more about Islam is very beneficial. As Islam spreads more and more into Western civilization we will need to have an accurate view of what Islam teaches if we are to faithfully stand against it for Christ's glory and honour.
Life is good. God is good. My latest theological pursuit is toward a greater understanding of the Trinity, the triune nature of the One True God. We don't think about it enough in American evangelicalism, but the Trinity shapes basically everything about our Christian faith. Our communal relation, our oneness in Christ, our love in marriages and families, all revolve around the revealed Trinitarian nature of God. Do some research; know what you believe and why.
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised. -Hebrews 10:19-23
The peace of Christ Jesus be with you all.
