Although there are a few blogs I frequent and benefit greatly from, I consciously try not to pass on too many links. I don’t go to blogs mainly for links to other places (and I assume you don’t, either). I go to blogs mainly for that particular individual’s thoughts and writing (and I assume you […]

I spent a couple hours today writing a hand-written letter to a guy I used to play baseball with back in Little League and high school. He’s in prison now. His dad (he was adopted) coached our teams for about seven to eight years, so we saw each other quite a bit. We didn’t know […]

I am amazed that Christ never pitied Himself. Of all the people in the world that we would think would have the right to indulge in some well-earned self-pity, Christ is certainly the foremost. He did not come to be served but to serve. He did not come that others might lay down their preferences […]

There are conversations, and then there are conversations. I just had a conversation. No holds barred, judgment-day honesty, heavenly likemindedness. One of those conversations with no trace of self-consciousness, no thought of self-preservation, no center but Christ. It wasn’t scholarly or academic. It wasn’t guarded. It was raw.

The “problem of evil” has been debated for centuries. How can God allow evil and suffering to go on in the world? If He rules the world, why is there so much pain? Did He create evil? Or did He just allow it to exist (and how does that work)? Is evil under His control? […]

A Theology of Sleep (Part Three) This is the third and final part of “A Theology of Sleep.” It’s a bit more practical than the last couple posts. Even so, it’s heavy on principle. I can’t seem to avoid seeing principles behind the most practical of things. Remember that it was written for those living and ministering in college dorms. […]

A Theology of Sleep (Part Two) David Gunner Gundersen December 4, 2004 6. Theology: It is noble to sacrifice sleep for the honor of God (Psalm 132:3-5). Therefore: Think of yourself as a soldier on a mission (especially when you’re tired). The honor and reputation of the King are at stake. Which is more important—“mission […]

I’ve been asked to share my “Theology of Sleep” which I taught in a Student Life class here at TMC last year. There are ten points, all containing a “Theology” and a ”Therefore.” Then there are seven practical applications. I’ll post it in three parts. It can be very hard to think rightly about sleep, and […]
