We’re in that October, November, December season of the year when everything seems to happen at once. One thing a time, let’s focus on getting through Monday. Continue reading

My Current State of Blogging

My critics might say that the only thing The Master’s Table does anymore is a Happy Monday post once a week. I would argue that a bi-vocational pastor working a Mon – Fri job and preaching twice on Sunday is doing pretty good to get out a weekly post on a regular basis. Every Monday for 200+ weeks in a row? Woo-hoo!

Here’s a puppy. Have a nice day.

One person screen for keeping mosquitoes, sun and rain at bay. All joking aside, how much gardening will you get done inside there? Perfect for gardening? I don’t even know if it’s possible. Continue reading

Field Trip!

Screenshot 2016-08-30 at 9.13.52 PMSo I have never visited Westboro Baptist Church nor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood but have commented on them on their behavior. I have never met Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton, and neither have most people, but that doesn’t stop us from having and expressing very strong viewpoints about not only their politics but also their character, intelligence, ability to serve as president and so forth.

On September 23 and 24 I will be visiting the Creation Museum and Ark Experience. I’m not getting the personal Ken Ham guided tour or anything but will spend several hours at each venue, take lots of pics and of course put up one or more blog posts. I have expressed caution about getting all of our answers from Genesis but I have never suggested there are no answers there.

So the Master’s Table is taking a road trip. I’ll be driving and Van Til will ride shotgun and read the map. Expect a full report when we get back. Happy trails…

The Games of the 31st Olympiad  have come to a close and Team USA finishes with a combined total of 121 medals. Michael Phelps becomes the most decorated Olympian in history, women’s basketball has won gold 6 times in a row and the men’s track and field team had their best showing since 1984. There were plenty of other feats and of course Team USA may not have be your team. Join the discussion in the comment section; keep it positive, this being Happy Monday and all. Continue reading

News of Note

Two items have caught my attention in the past couple of days:

1. The State of California has rewritten some language in an education bill that threatened to greatly infringe on religious liberty in that state. Had the bill passed unchanged, the only students that could receive any type of religious education would have been those training for a career in ministry. It would have effectively outlawed Christian colleges and universities, reserving religious studies to seminary students only. More here.

2. Target is about to spend $2 million on individual use bathroom stalls in all of their stores. Many stores already have such facilities, in addition to men’s and women’s restrooms, and soon all loctions will. Target denies the changes have anything to do with the boycotts and petitions generated by their bathroom policy announcement. I saw this headline in the Washington Post of all places.
