Cool Hand Luke TheologyKedric Webster
I started reading again a book by Fred Zaspel called The Theology of B.B. Warfield. I have quoted Warfield in other blogs. One of the issues Warfield dealt with in his time as professor theology and apologetics at Princeton Seminary was Protestant liberalism, which traces its roots in the work of Friedrich Schleiermacher, becoming more readily defined by Albert Ritschl. Zaspel explains,
The hallmark of Ritschilianism is its attempt "to clear theology of all 'metaphysical' elements. Otherwise expressed, this means that nothing will be ...

Len Bias and the prison populationKedric Webster
I seem to be on a "prison kick" lately. This is the third straight post on the subject. I was compelled to do so after watching again the ESPN 30-in-30 documentary on the life and death of former Maryland basketball great Len Bias.
If you have not seen it, I would highly recommend it. All of the 30-in-30 movies are very well done, some serious, some humorous. This one on Bias talks about his dying after using what could have been crack or pure cocaine for the first time at a party. It would be his last.
Two things resulted ...

Chuck Colson and Prison MinistryKedric Webster
"Prisons today are the leper colony of American life."
So says the now late Chuck Colson in a short video on prisons in America.
I've been reflecting much on Colson's death that occured this past Saturday. I had the privilege of hearing him speak twice, once at my graduation from RTS in 2006 and in February 2011 at the inauguration of Don Sweeting as RTS-Orlando president. On both occasions I could have either shaken his hand or had my picture taken with him, but for whatever reason I didn’t.
From all the tributes I've been ...

Miami-Dade County in PrisonKedric Webster
Nearly the entire population of Miami-Dade County (or just Dade County to the old schoolers) is in prison. It is not the actual people of that county that are behind bars, but the latest population of nearly 2.5 million (according to the **2010 Census, with population estimates) equals almost the number of Americans locked away in this nation's prisons. To break it down, it is approximately 1 out of every 140 citizens as cited in a 2014 report by the American Psychological Association.
A 2012 Time article pointed out that the U.S. war on ...

A Baccalaureate Address and the EnterpriseKedric Webster
I recently picked up for a good price a copy of J. Gresham Machen’s The Gospel in the Modern World. Originally given as a Baccalaureate address at Hampden-Syndey College June 9, 1929, Machen explains the differences between Christianity and the modern mind and how the Gospel can still make an impact in the modern world of his day and ours.
Certain words and sentences have a way of sticking out depending on who reads them, based on personality or interest. Commenting on the logical result of modern forces that he felt threatened liberty, ...

Best Coaching Gig in College BasketballKedric Webster
The funny thing about this blog is that it would be difficult to tell I'm a sports fan based on the posts I've written. I may have mentioned it in the "About" section, but this is the first sports blog post.
Yes indeed, huge sports fan, particularly college basketball. What's on my wall right now? Just the Sports Illistrated (framed) with Mario Chalmers hitting the game-tying 3-pointer in the 2008 National Championship against Memphis. Derrick Rose can't quite get high enough for the block. Kansas wins 75-68 in overtime.
But who, in my ...
