The Artesian Wells: A Random Christmas Thought
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2006/11/random-christmas-thought.html
Monday, November 27, 2006. A Random Christmas Thought. Try this on for size:. Achilles is to Alexander as King David is to Jesus Christ. Now, compare that to the connections the Bible makes between David and the Messiah. Note, in particular, the promises of a kingdom and a throne that are promised to David and filled in Jesus. The fact that Jesus subverts the expectation of a physical empire (like David's and, I might add, Alexander's), is just part of the glorious truth of the Incarnation. Justin - none...

The Artesian Wells: Scutum Sobieskianum
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2006/10/scutum-sobieskianum.html
Thursday, October 19, 2006. But I recently discovered my second favorite constellation. Scutum, a dinky little, hard to recognize constellation just below Aquila and near Sagittarius. Scutum is the modern, abbrieviated name, and the full, glorious name of this constellation hasn't been in regular use for many, many years. The full name? Scutum Sobieskianum: "The Shield of Sobieski". Emily c. said. What a great hero - both militarily and as a Christian! Have you found it yet? It isn't the easiest constell...

The Artesian Wells: July 2006
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 21, 2006. The Comfort of History. A passage I have refered to often in my explainations of why history is valuable is 1 Corinthians 10:11: "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.". The point I wish to make is this: Peter and Paul are doing nearly the same thing here, but in two different ways. Paul points to the examples of history as a warning: don't let yourselves be drawn to idolatry! The reason it ...

The Artesian Wells: September 2006
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 21, 2006. Impress your friends, frighten your enemies! September 21 is traditionally the first day of fall. It often feels like fall for some weeks before that, but the choice of the date has less to do with local weather patterns than it does with the earth's rotation. Tuesday, September 19, 2006. Avast, there, lubbers! Yarr It be talk like a pirate day today. I believe the official answer is, "Why not? It might be "Because we can," as well. Or, "Its fun! Tuesday, September 12, 2006.

The Artesian Wells: May 2006
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 30, 2006. There was one 5th grader who, at his last speech meet, had left the stage crying, unable to complete his poem. In the play, he not only delivered his lines with enthusiasm, but when another actor mistakenly skipped half a page, he managed to track back and fill in the information needed by ad-libbing. Of course, most importantly, I learned all sorts of things that I will be able to apply toward our next play, which should be next fall. The two most important things are to start...

The Artesian Wells: A word of explaination...
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2007/02/word-of-explaination.html
Monday, February 05, 2007. A word of explaination. Normally, I hate largely self-referential blog posts (by me, at least), but I think the picture that you'll find of me here needs a bit of explaination. This picture says everything about me. Its a reference to Uncle Sam and the old military recruiting posters, and it also shows how ruthless I am in debate. "You may disagree now," it says, "but I'm pointing my finger at you! It's also apparently the only digital version of me that exists. Weird. Maybe so...

Scutum Sobieskianum: "The Shield of Sobieski". Sunday, October 15, 2006. Its just a human document after all; little changes over time add up and all that sort of thing.

The Artesian Wells: April 2006
http://artesian.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 26, 2006. The Science of Unbelief. Christianity is one of the most unique religions, from anyone's perspective, because of the following thing: its entire existence is rooted in a historical fact - the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ - and without that fact, the entire thing is worthless. Friday, April 21, 2006. From "Post-Captain" by Patrick O'Brian; an excerpt from the diary of Dr. Stephen Maturin. Thursday, April 20, 2006. Of Steroids and Baseball. The whole steroid flap going ...

The Artesian Wells: March 2007

Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Van Til on Christian curriculum. Christian curriculum] deals with nature and history. ". At the bottom of the same page:. The whole of 'space-time facts' should be set into the pattern of the conception of the absolute personality of God.". The second quote is the one that gets me, though. "The whole of 'space-time facts' should be set into the pattern of the conception of the absolute personality of God.". Now, I need to finish that essay. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
