• Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: the narrative unity of Luke-Acts   1 hour, 25 minutes ago
  

  It  is 4:08 PM Saturday afternoon. In the old days we use to prepare for the Christian Sabbath on Saturday evenings. Now to me every day is the Lord’s Day. “Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge [...]

  It is now 3:03 PM Saturday afternoon. I stopped watching the Ohio & Michigan college football game because Ohio was winning. I remember the days when Michigan was a powerhouse college football team. Now Michigan sucks.

  I am down in our basement writing in my private diary and listening to the music of Aphex Twin. The [...]

  It is 10:11 AM Saturday morning in the flow of being alive in a sin cursed american world. Everywhere you go in this screwed-up world you see the effects of the american death culture. Has america really made the world a better place to be a man or woman of God? Do you feel safe [...]

  Arthur Koestler’s manic intellectual career by Christopher Hitchens

  The Zealot

  I cannot recall a book title that was less well-shaped to its subject. Far from being a “skeptic,” Arthur Koestler was a man not merely convinced but actively enthused by practically any intellectual or political or mental scheme that came his way. When he was in [...]

  It is 2:21 PM Friday afternoon. I am going through another day normal. Carol has gone to bed for the day. I have been reading and wandering my cell.

• Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: the Lord remembers we are dust   1 day, 7 hours ago
  

  This morning my wife was singing this old hymn as she got ready to meet another day—

  The tender love a father has
  For all his children dear,
  Such love the Lord bestows on them
  Who worship Him in fear.

  The Lord remembers we are dust,
  And all our frailty knows;
  Man’s days are like the tender grass,
  And as the flower he [...]

• Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: the search for Arzareth had stretched over millennia   1 day, 8 hours ago
  

  It was 23 hours ago when I last wrote. Time just keeps rolling along. Some times I get sick of being aware of time. There is always time demanding you keep decaying.

  Carol just left to visit her mother and go to a grocery store. I am down in the basement writing in my blogs.

  It is [...]

  It is 9:44 AM Thursday morning in the flow of existence. I am down in our basement reading the essays of George Orwell. I already read a couple chapters in the Gospel of Mark this morning.

  It is 8:15 AM Tuesday morning in the flow of my ephemeral existence. I am down in our basement listening to the music of Pelican. I am seeking to wake up to another day in a quiet manner. Carol should be home from work anytime.

• Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: everything is uncovered   5 days, 4 hours ago
  

  It is 1:57 PM Monday afternoon according to the wall clock in front of me. I can not stop Time. Time just keeps going by no matter what. All I can do is let time carry me to the grave. “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has [...]

  It is 4:47 PM Sunday evening. Carol is sleeping. I do not know if she plans to get up and go to Covenant PCA this evening to worship the Lord God? She told me this morning they had Communion today at church. During the worship service she said a young man had a grandma seizure. [...]

• Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: from Patrol Magazine   6 days, 9 hours ago
  

  HOWEVER LONG it may take to relinquish its hold on American culture, evangelicalism in the United States—still probably best defined by the British historian David Bebbington as a movement whose members adhere to conversionism, Biblicism, activism and crucicentrism—faces near-certain extinction. It has been blinded by its symbiotic relationship with the Enlightenment, and has perpetually failed [...]

• Darkcloud wrote a new blog post: He has prepared a city for them   6 days, 12 hours ago
  

  It is 6:15 AM Sunday morning in the flow of existence. I have been up since 5:04 AM this morning. I went to bed last night around 8:30 PM. I had one of those days where I could not stay awake yesterday. I basically watched college football from Noon time till 6:30 PM yesterday.

  Now it [...]

  The clock in front of me tells me the time is 4:39 PM Friday evening. Another day of my life has gone by. I can not live this day over again. This day is now in the Book of Life.

  It is 8:22 AM Friday morning in the flow of being alive. It is Friday the 13th. We will soon be in the middle of another month. I always find my mind going back in the past when we come to the end of another year. I am amazed I have lived this long in [...]

  The Word of the Cross

  Last night for evening devotions I read the following to my wife—”to understand Paul’s interpretation of Christ’s obedient and faithful death fully, we must first understand his view of the human condition. Although it is probably the case that his view of the human problem was defined (or at least refined) [...]
