I'm Isaiah, a citizen of Christendom.

I'm also a theology dork (not nerd, there's a difference), amateur developer of software, runner of marathons, reader of books, and writer of essays. This site is primarily devoted to that last one, but I plan to write code for a living, so that shows up too.

On Free Will

Do we have free will? Did I choose my breakfast this morning? Did I choose to write this? Do we choose God? Do we decide our eternal fate? Here are few things that I believe to be true.

A Peculiar Test of Our Affections

Our affections matter. I mean our deepest desires. Our most lofty ambitions. But how can we evaluate our affections to keep Christ at the center? I propose one possible way to test our affections.
