True Religion
27 True devotion, the kind that is pure and faultless before God the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their difficulties and to keep the world from contaminating us. (James 1:27, CEB) The current rage on blogs and other online sources this week is the supposed demise of “liberal” Christianity… and then the response of “liberal” Christians…

The Here, the Now, the Future
Reading Matthew 24-25 always brings up the different theologies surrounding the end times, etc. This interview and post by Scot McKnight is interesting. Especially this quote: I believe heaven will be here, on earth. I believe in transformed physical existence. It will be what we have now only transformed into ideal conditions. Jesus was raised from the dead and people…

A BIG Announcement

End of the Line
I have been part of the Common English Blog Tour for about two months now. They began the tour before Advent and I think today is the last day of cycle.

Nook Reader on Android
Yesterday a friend set up my Nook to be an android tablet. He has been overcome with power and is now hacking anything he can get his hands on. (You should see a hacked toaster. It makes great waffles now.) But as to the Nook reader, I like the app better! The page turn function is more animated PLUS you…
