Self-promotion

OK. I wasn't going to post this because it smacks too much of self-promotion, but I have had some people ask why I didn't. So, here it is:
Jim & Brandon chose to interview me as the Biblioblogger for March

So, if you are bored, or just want to find out a bit more about who I am, go visit the link. By the way, my daughter took the picture :)

I have a friend who graduated from Asbury College. He later attended a practorium and is now a pastor. Your interview doesn't say what years you were there, so I have no idea if there's any possibility you knew him. He graduated circa 1998, I think.

Unfortunately I think he hung out with the wrong crowd of students while he was at Asbury, and his thinking was "broadened" in some of the wrong ways. (I don't think he'd mind my telling this now. The "Where have all the theologians gone?" article seems particularly relevant to the kind of thinking he picked up there. He became careless about his theology and embraced some things that are not altogether Biblical. Not having attended the school myself, I don't know how prevalent this is there, but it was present in some circles, at least when he attended in the early nineties.)

Fortunately the practorium was able to correct this for him. Due to scheduling issues and the interference of Real Life (work, medical issues, and so on) by providence, he ended up taking most of the Biblical Fundamentalism course some three times. (This is the John Whitcomb course on videocassette; it's an excellent course BTW, the focus being on the preservation of sound Biblical teaching, how it can be lost (with lots of historical examples), and how it can be preserved.) Then he proctored it for another student. After that he's pretty well straightened out. He's working through the ordination process now, which is fairly exacting in the CGBCI.
