| Description: | "I'm from Geneva, and I'm here to help!" In my early years as an independent, fundamental Baptist (IFB), the evangelical outlook and scholarship was often much suspected and maligned, but when I got a job at a local Christian bookstore as a teenager, my horizons were broadened. It was during these couple of formative years that I was first introduced to Reformed theology by Michael Horton (on a rare, early appearance on TBN, no less–and that’s no joke!), and little did I know that some folks in other store locations of my chain, including a couple of the executives, would, in the years that followed, aid in my understanding of the truth of Reformed theology. In God’s inscrutable providence, however, most of the fellowship I enjoy with Reformed brethren remains online; and my growth in the truths of the Christian faith, aka, “Reformed theology,” comes from personal study of Scripture and solid Reformed literature. As I occupy, I am working as a self-appointed “Reformation Carrier” (a carrier being one who transmits a disease, yet doesn’t get to enjoy all the symptoms thereof…yet!) to encourage the resurgence of Reformed theology among Baptists, but continue strengthening my understanding of broader Reformed theology and practice. As a fundamentalist, I wrestled with the instinct to learn all I could from whatever source I could, regularly being reminded by my fundamentalist shepherds of the dangers of “missing heaven by 18 inches”, the distance between the head and the heart. I was constantly exhorted to pursue “heart knowledge” of the things of God, even at the expense of my “head knowledge” of the same. In time I came to realize that were my life a comic strip, it would be called, “The Misadventures of Captain Headknowledge”–the kind of hero who seeks the answers no one else dares or cares to seek, attempting to rescue unappreciative souls imperiled by dangerous theology. Unlike many Reformed bloggers, I’m neither a scholar, nor the son of a scholar, but a mere Reformed theology geek looking to learn all he can, can all he learns, and give the can away. Won’t you join me in my theological pursuits? |

Commemorative Coins From the Ancient Egyptian Mint?
