On a lighter note…don’t read this while sipping coffee infront of your computer:
Sign #1: You’ve given up smoking your pipe because you want to actually be able to afford term life insurance.
Sign #2: Your ‘Jonathan Edwards is My Homeboy’ shirt is faded and now simply reads, ‘Jonathan Edwards is My Home.”
Sign #3: You now read your ESV Bible more than you read John Piper.
Sign #4: You’ve considered writing a book (for P&R rather than Crossway), Old, Well-Rested, and Reformed. [Copyright: Adam Parker, 2010] (You want the name, Collin Hansen!? Come back in 30 years and just try to get it!)
Sign #5: You find yourself warning newbies about ‘the cage stage,’ and then you find yourself reminiscing about terrorizing unsuspecting Arminians back in your day.
Sign #6: You actually know who Van Til is.
Sign #7: You have decided that is is okay to plod.
Sign #8: Your iPod now has more sermons by Sinclair Ferguson than it does of Mark Driscoll.
Sign #9: Drinking beer may still be a pleasure for you, but it isn’t as cool as it used to be.
Sign #10: You just had your child baptized.
[What follows are the apocryphal signs, not to be confused with the top 10.]
Sign #11: Your Ty Pennington hairdo is starting to look less Pennington and more Luther.

Funny… and I can certainly relate.
Can I have your pipe? 😉
I actually have one, along with some now stale tobacco, but have never used it. 🙂
Sign #8: Your iPod now has more sermons by Sinclair Ferguson than it does of Mark Driscoll.
I’m there already!

I need to listen to Sinclair Ferguson.
I want to read more of him. In Christ Alone is a great book. R.C. Sproul said that he’s his favorite theologian.

Thanks jeff, you have given me something to look for.
You’re welcome. It’s a great Christian Living book, whatever that means. Hard to describe it. Just good.
I almost forgot–I reviewed it!

Yes I have van Til on my shelf … somewhere.
I listened to 100+ Driscoll sermons and read tons of Piper’s stuff. Movements are interesting.
#12- By “skinny jeans” you now mean those regular jeans that haven’t fit since 5 years and 20 pounds ago
Something like that 🙂
I deal with a lot of sin but not with gluttony.
Maybe a half smiley type thing would go after that.
I love this. How about, “You’ve actually read the Institutes and don’t just own them.”
I should be Old, Well-Rested, and Reformed by the end of the year on that one.
You nailed it! That’s me to a tee!
haha good stuff!
