March 2019: Digital Minimalism
Hope you had a great February!
I love cold weather as much as anyone, but I’m about ready for winter to be over.

Questions I’m Pondering
- What’s the relationship between being created in the image of God and the improper “images” of God we form and worship in religion?
- What’s the relationship between the improper “knowledge of good and evil” (grasped-at in the Fall, cf. Gen 3) and the proper discernment of good and evil required in Christian ethics?
Projects I’m Working On
- My dissertation. Working on Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s readings of Genesis 1–3 and the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7).
- A paper on the kingdom of God for my doctoral seminar on the Kingdom of God.
- An integrative paper for my doctoral seminar on biblical-theological integration.
- Growing, managing, and editing Anglican Pastor.
One More Thing…
We’d all be better off if we quit Facebook and used our smartphones less.
We just need the willpower to take the plunge.
Cheers,
