“A religion is a set of beliefs and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term “religion” [...]
Irish folk music and Calvinism
For a good part of the last decade I’ve spent serious time getting in touch with my Irish roots. Mostly through music. I’ve tried studying the politics of Ireland and her history, the folk legends and stories, all of which I find facinating, but nothing has taught me the story of Ireland more [...]
Revival
I’ve become vaguely familiar with the happenings in Lakeland Fl and one Todd Bently. For those completely unaware of such happenings, another great revival has sprung up in the Southlands of our fair country. The usual signs accompany this outbreak. Great movements of the Spirit have led many to bark like dogs, [...]
Time keeps moving forward…but do I?
Well I’m all but done in the studio now with my band. I wouldn’t mind redoing some of the horns and whatnot, but all the major work is finished (mixing and all that). I’m hoping to have a clearer mind now to work on some posts for this site. We’ve also got [...]

Lyrical Theology
Last night my wife and I enjoyed a dinner at some friends’ house. During our visit, they introduced me to a Philadelphia hip hop artist, Shai Linne. Now I’m no hip hop fan nor am I much of a supporter of the “christian music” scene (that’s a topic for another post though), but [...]
Did the Cross save anybody?
While in the mountains, I touched a bit on John Owen’s “The Death of Death”. I’ve read a good chunk of it before but kind of rushed through the introductory essay by J.I.Packer. I went back and reread the introduction (which if it isn’t published on its own, it should be!) this week [...]
