  • 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… Read more

  • 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… Read more

  • Off to New Orleans

    My wife and I are off for a week. We fly to New Orleans where I will attend the Kiwanis International Convention. She will go see our oldest son and his wife in Alabama. I will join them on Sunday and we’ll have a few days together, including the 4th. I have no idea what… Read more

So his latest rant is a good one, yet leaves me asking: Okay, Mr. Kirk, as a seminary professor, what does that mean for… Read more

  • 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.

    I am grateful to Craig for the opportunity to interview on his blog. Thanks, Craig! Read more

  • Is Blogger Catching Up with WordPress?

    For all WordPress fanatics, the answer is instantly, “NO!” But that may be a hasty answer. I have been with WordPress for a couple of years and really enjoy it. The main reason I like it is people don’t have to have a Google account to sign in and leave a comment. I also liked… Read more

  • 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… Read more
