What the Thunder Said...

• Clarity is key. Set clear, concise goals, and stick to them.
• Be flexible. Your goals are indestructable, but how you arrive is always in flux.
• Use single handling. Focus in on one aspect and complete that first, before moving on.
• Failure is your friend. Treat them as learning opportunities, and keep re-evaluating.
• Do it now. Don't put off decisions, delay, or show other signs of weakness; get 'er done.
• Triage ruthlessly. Throw things away... often. Constantly re-evaluate, and ditch hindrances.
• Identify and recover wasted time. Fairly self-explanatory.
• The Pareto Principle. 20% of a task's effort accounts for 80% of the value; 80% of a task only yields 20% of the value of that task.
• Guard thy time. Set aside blocks of time (preferably 90 minutes at a minimum) to accomplish tasks.
• Work all the time you work. Conversely, don't semi-work while you're resting/relaxing.
• Multitask.
• Experiment.
• Cultivate your enthusiasm.
• Eat and exercise for optimum energy.
• Maintain balance.

...if a group of professing Christians want to assign the label "Evangelical" to themselves, let them have it. However, we must then see the terms Evangelical,Neonomain and Arminian as creative reflections of the same thing. I would much rather see you or Armstrong write a lengthy theological treatise on
justification and break it up into three categorical views wherein you assign a
view to the Roman Catholic, the Evangelical and the Reformed. Much like Van Til
did with epistemology.

"The Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the Word of God written and is therefore inerrant in the autographs. God is a Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory."

"Three days after the liberation of Buchenwald I became very ill with food poisoning. I was transferred to the hospital and spent two weeks between life and death.
One day I was able to get up, after gathering all my strength. I wanted to see myself in the mirror hanging on the opposite wall. I had not seen myself since the ghetto.
From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed back at me.
The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me."

"And I, who believe that God is love, what answer could I give my young questioner, whose dark eyes still held the reflection of that angelic sadness which had appeared one day upon the face of the hanged child? What did I say to him? Did I speak of that other Jew, his brother, who may have resembled him – the Crucified, whose Cross has conquered the world? Did I affirm that the stumbling block to his faith was the cornerstone of mine, and that the conformity between the Cross and the suffering of men was in my eyes the key to that impenetrable mystery whereon the faith of his childhood had perished? Zion, however, has risen up again from the crematories and the charred houses. The Jewish nation has been resurrected from among its thousands of dead. It is through them that it lives again. We do not know the worth of one single drop of blood, one single tear. All is grace. If the Eternal is the Eternal, the last word for each one of us belongs to Him. That is what I should have told this Jewish child. But I could only embrace him, weeping."

This website is designed to serve as a learning center for all those who believe the Bible Alone (Sola Scriptura) is the standard for doctrine and practice. We believe that every aspect of salvation is by God's Sovereign Grace Alone (Sola Gratia) and conditioned upon Christ Alone (Solo Christo). We believe that Christ's people freely receive knowledge and rely upon Christ entirely for their salvation by the gift of Faith Alone (Sola Fide). We believe that all that happens in this world, including the salvation of men, the damnation of the wicked, and even the sinfulness of men is predestined for the Glory of God Alone (Soli Deo Gloria).

In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
