So far in this series we’ve looked at the occurrences where God repents in the Greek Old Testament, and how this is carried over into several English versions.  We’ve also examined how Josephus uses repentance, and how it is often employed in morally negative or morally ambiguous situations that do not result in people…

One of the first questions I asked when I joined Team Zoot back in 2015 was, “What is the difference between the Zoot Ultra Tempo 6.0 and the Zoot Ovwa 2.0?”  I was looking for a racing shoe with a moderate amount of stability, and wanted to make the right choice.  At the time, the…

With so many definitions for the word “repent” being widely accepted among Christians, it’s no  wonder that confusion reigns over the role of repentance in salvation. In Part 1 we looked at God’s repentance in the Greek Old Testament.  If the Greek words which are translated “repent” or “repentance” in the New Testament are also…

  Review from Pro Triathlete Matt Sheeks   The Scott T2 Palani 2.0 may be just the ticket for you if you want a lightweight training shoe that is up to virtually any task.  Shelby from Run 26, a local running shoe store in my area, gave me these shoes to test out, and they…

by Matthew Sheeks, professional triathlete.   There are a lot of Kestrel 4000 bike reviews out there, so what makes this one different?   (at 2015 Ironman Wales aboard my Kestrel 4000)     The main difference is that I have actually field tested the Kestrel 4000 bike extensively as a pro triathlete.  As of…

You’re probably aware that Christians everywhere recently celebrated Christ’s coming to earth.  But did you know that there are actually two competing views within Christianity as to why Jesus even came?  One essentially says that Christ came to make demands on us, the other that Christ came to free us from demands that already existed. …

In today’s post I want you to repent about repentance.   This is probably my greatest concern with the doctrine of evangelical and reformed churches today.  Nearly every church I have attended in the past several years defines repentance as “a turn from sin” or “a turn from sin and turn to God,” or something…

  I get asked about my Garmin 920 XT a lot, especially in with athletes I coach wanting to know what tool they should use for tracking their workouts.  These workouts are eventually uploaded to Training Peaks and eventually analyzed by me, the coach.   I’ve found it helpful to compare and contrast the Garmin Forerunner…
