  John MacArthur’s One Perfect Life

  Has anyone read One Perfect Life: The Complete Story of the Lord Jesus. I was considering doing a study of the four gospels and this looked like a good resource. Are there better Reformed alternatives? Thanks.

  Westminster Seminary California - thoughts from alumni?

  Hi, all! I’m a future seminarian and am currently considering schools. I am a Particular Baptist (think 1689) who loves the Reformed tradition and am looking mainly at WTS, WSCAL, and RTS. I am very attracted to the academic rigor boasted by WTS. I am also, however, really considering WSCAL

  Isaiah 14 and Satan

  In a recent thread, some of us discussed the idea that Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 have an additional layer of meaning beyond the literal historical references to Babylon and Tyre. My Bible reading for the day brought me to Luke 10, where I have a note written in the margins to refer to Is. 14:12

  PDF Viewer - Chrome Extension

  Well, I finally got tired enough of adobe crashing on me and slowing down my computer that I made my own PDF viewer. If you read any of those google books scans you might find it useful, since it’s designed to load quickly and keep your page (for example, if the computer restarts, it won’t

  Which Puritan has been an influence to you lately?

  Over the past year God has allowed me to discover the riches of the puritan writings. Although I've always heard of them since coming to Christ, I've never been influenced to read them as heavily as I have since discovering the reformed tradition. Listening to Joel Beeke, Mark Dever, John Piper and Iain Murray often reference the Puritans kept me ever-searching for other puritan guys. As of late Thomas Watson has been a favorite of mine. Which Puritan has been of much influence lately for you?
