These are my thoughts on theology and life after experiencing God's sovereign and amazing grace.

Not the Way It's Supposed to Be
You should read this book.
You don't understand sin like you might think you do.
Cornelius Plantinga, Jr., brother to Alvin Plantinga (recent guest at SBTS for the Norton Lectures), wrote Not the Way It's Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin in 1995 in an attempt to revive an awareness of sin that has been all but lost.
In this book, Plantinga makes a case that the Jewish notion of shalom is not simply an idea of peace, but a much fuller and all-encompassing idea of "the way it's supposed to be." And in this book, Plantinga does a masterful job of showing many of the different ways things aren't.
You will be convicted and enabled to guard your heart in new ways. Promise.
