Matthew Ch.9 2008-03-05 11:02:37 Around October of last year I purchased a four volume commentary set off CBD called Expository Thoughts on the Gospel by J.C. Ryle, first Anglican bishop of Liverpool. In this fine set, Ryle splits each of the Gospels into easily digestible chunks and provides some thoughts about each set of verses. I initially bought [...] Read more:Matthew
Great Band 2008-02-22 19:19:10 Today I want to introduce you to a band I discovered about six months ago. Based in South Auckland, New Zealand, Mumsdollar released their album A Beautiful Life in 2005. My uncle in New Zealand sent me A Beautiful Life last summer and although initially unimpressed, I have since grown to love their unique style [...] Read more:Great
I Shall Overcome! 2008-02-15 12:40:17 Today has been pretty cool so far. I looked after my sisters from 8-noon this morning and we made pancakes from scratch and watched cartoons. I did some more work on my Sunday message and cleaned up some of my messiness.
Flashback to yesterday…I ate candy pretty much all day long because it was Valentine’s day. [...]
The God of all Grace 2008-02-11 13:35:45 I went skiing again this weekend with my youth group. We went to 7 Springs in PA and it was a blast. Today we have school off because of the windchill (-13°F this morning) and I am preparing to speak this Sunday at church. I am studying 1 Peter 5:8-11 which includes the following doxology:
"And [...] Read more:Grace
Working for College 2008-02-04 08:57:08 I am really busy right now working in advance to pay off my college obligations. I am responsible for $6000 so I have taken a job after school at Robo-Fit, a brass and steel fittings company down the road from my school. Also, I am doing some regular myspace work for some musicians while mainting [...] Read more:College
Reagan Library GOP Debate 2008-01-30 21:26:02 I mostly try to stay out of politics on this blog, but in the absence of reading anything recently, I give you my take on the current field of republican candidates. As many of you know, I am a staunch supporter of Congressman Ron Paul because I believe that he represents the most honest, sincere [...] Read more:Reagan

TULIP - The 5 Points of Calvinism 2008-01-18 12:04:10 While reading the article "Tulip in the SBC" on Justin Taylor’s blog Between Two Worlds:A mix of Theology, Philosophy, Politics, and Culture (permanent link) I was struck that many people really don’t know what the acronym TULIP stands for or indeed what it is related to. TULIP is an acronym that summarizes the five main [...] Read more:Points
Cappuccino 2008-01-16 19:42:43 A cappuccino is prepared by taking a shot of espresso, adding hot milk and then layering milk foam on the top. One of my favorite aspects of a cappuccino is its distinct smoothness and its hint of sweetness due to the microfoam that forms in the milk when it is heated at a high temperature- [...] Read more:Cappuccino
The Faithful Witness 2008-03-11 19:59:19 Certainly we live in an age in which the future seems bleak and ominous. The world’s economies are crumbling; war and rumors of war crop up everyday. Our supplies of water and grain are severely depleted and it seems as though the moral climate has taken a turn for the worse as well. I say [...] Read more:Faithful

Good Friday 2008-03-22 13:50:58 Last night I went to Church because of Good Friday
- we sung a collection of really good hymns both modern and old and had communion. It was to some extent a solemn affair, but I really enjoyed it because it matched my solemn mood. I will always cherish Good Friday, it always convicts me of [...]
Light at the End of the Tunnel 2008-04-01 08:18:53 It’s been a while since I posted anything here, mostly because I’ve been really busy building my web design portfolio. I’ve been experimenting with the concept of one page websites and took www.nbyfleet.com which used to link to this blog and made it more of a “professional” site that showcases some of the websites that [...]
Science & Theology 2008-04-06 11:36:06 I love Sundays and the opportunity that they present for earnest contemplation of the week preceding. This week has been marked by many personal failings and by much stress and work. I feel tired and stretched and it has been a while since I spent any QT with God. Amongst my personal failings this week, [...] Read more:Science
Some Thoughts From 1 John 2008-04-20 21:08:22 I was in conversation one day last week, defending what the Bible says about Jesus and his resurrection. The Bible has many outrageous claims, but perhaps the most outrageous of them all, and the one which I have grounded my life on, is the resurrection account found in all four gospels. We talked some things [...]
7 Days to Go… 2008-04-30 19:35:58 Wow, its been a while since I posted here. I have seven days of high school left before senior project begins and I never have to go back again! Senior project, for those of you who do not know, takes place during the last three weeks of school and is an opportunity for seniors to [...]
Senior Project Day 2 2008-05-13 22:27:31 After this morning’s A.P. Chemistry exam, I crashed for a bit at my house and made myself a warm lemon water with honey because I was feeling groggy. After this, I headed up to Church to work on Sunday’s sermon until the evening Basics keynotes. In my afternoon studies, I read most of a book [...] Read more:Project
Senior Project Day 1.5 2008-05-13 13:40:44 Last Friday marked this year’s Springfest which is Chagrin Falls High Schools last day for seniors. The first three periods of the day were regular classes, but then the festivities began. Our school had hired the cheerleading squad from the Cleveland Giants, which is a semi-pro football team I guess, to do a routine. It [...] Read more:Project
Senior Project Day 3 2008-05-14 19:29:15 The Basics conference ended today, I got the chance to hear Alistair’s closing seminar which was fantastic. He preached on:
“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.” (2 Corinthians 2:17)
and:
Rather, we have renounced secret [...] Read more:Project
Senior Project So Far 2008-05-26 09:49:15 For a while there I actually managed to blog every day, and then things got crazy, I got really busy and could no longer dedicate time to posting. Anyway, I got the opportunity to speak to a group of about 60 middle school students on Proverbs 27:2 and then of course I had to give [...] Read more:Project
NEOChurch 2008-06-12 08:33:58 Last night, in a kind of spur of the moment decision, I decided to go see what Dan Burgoyne is up to with NEOChurch, some of you will remember that Dan, a fantastic preacher, used to pastor 707. Dan started 707 and through his work, the place swelled from a dozen people and one service [...]

Casting Crowns & GCC 2008-06-30 22:35:26 While I was at Borders yesterday, I picked up Casting
Crowns newish CD “The Altar and The Door.” I highly recommend it to you if you are in to Christian music. In today’s music scene, the art of the album has largely been lost, which is why it is so satisfying to listen to an [...]
