Beers Worth Blogging About

Recently, I have been enjoying some different kind of beers that are worth mentioning on this site. I generally prefer the darker beers, stouts and porters, with a mix of brown ales in between. Yet, recently I have been branching out and trying a few IPA's. Here are some of the recent brews that you might also enjoy:

1. New Belgium- Out of these brews from New Belgium, the Rampant (Imperial IPA) and 1554 are very good indeed. If you are wary of IPA's but are willing to try one, Rampant is for you. 1554 is a black ale that has a smooth finish and a very robust flavor.

2. Great Divide Claymore Scotch Ale- This is an excellent Scotch ale, and at 7.7 % ABV this is a wee bit on the heavy side. This Scotch Ale is very drinkable, with some coffee and chocolate notes. A comparable Scotch Ale to this one is put out by Founders, their Dirty Bastard is the best.

3. Lagunitas Sucks: Brown Shugga- This ale is unique in that it packs a punch but is not too bitter or sweet. With an amber color and notes of fruit, this beer has a good flavor and unique body.

Journible The 17:18 Series: Acts

Journible The 17:18 Series: Acts The 17:18 Series: The Book of Acts by Joel R. Beeke and Rob Wynalda In Deuteronomy 17:18 Moses foretells of a future king coming to reign over Israel and copying the law himself rather than just acquiring a copy of the law. The role of writing down or scripting the Word of God is of paramount importance for the growth of the believer. With this truth in mind, Joel Beeke and Rob Wynalda have created Journibles. This Journible on the Book of Acts is both a resource to copy the Scriptures yourself and engage in some questions about the text. On the right hand side of the Journible is blank lines with verse indicators for you to copy down the whole Book of Acts. On the left side of the Journible are questions regarding context, theology, and details of the text for you to answer. In other words, this Journible on Acts incorporates a place for you to write your own copy of Acts while engaging with the details of the te...

God's Grace for All of Life

The Romance of Grace by Jim McNeely III To be honest, when I received this book in the mail I had visions of what it might be like with a title like, ‘The Romance of Grace.’ The emotional rollercoaster and one-sided perspective on how our emotions fuel our faith was my presumption about the book, but this was the furthest thing from the truth as I started reading. The Romance of Grace by Pastor Jim McNeely III is a careful look at the movements of grace in the way God pursues us with his love and his desire to get us to love him back. McNeely writes, “We are entering a cosmic romance with a passionate lover, and He is interested in our heart’s truest desire. His deepest objective isn’t to make us more moral; it is to get us to love Him back. Virtue is the fruit, not the root” (18). Why is this helpful? For one thing, beginning with God’s initiating grace frees us from starting out on the wrong foot in the way we tell the story and...
