  • The President’s Speech and Economic Theory

    In light of the President’s speech last night and all the brouhaha we create over the ideological grenades we lob at each other these days, I thought we should be reminded of most economic theory origins. 😉 Read more

  • Mark Driscoll, Women Heroes, and Our Loss of Civility

    I won’t get to ALL that stuff the title implies. Mark Driscoll, as per his normal routine, makes the blogging world rock. He cut into “effeminate” looking worship leaders who happened to be men. It’s Mark Driscoll. He’s rude, crude and gets hype because of it. It’s led to a backlash and then examination of… Read more

  • Beward the Naked Man Who Ends Up in a Church Testimony

    It is rare that “testimony time” in church goes weird. It can be a lot of other things, but “weird” isn’t usually a descriptor. I started telling the story in yesterday’s post of my top two strange testimonies. My all-time top one just stayed weird. Number two, which happened this past weekend, ended up fine.… Read more

  • Testimonies in Church

    We have a small church and people like to hear what God is doing in the lives of other people. When I hear something good in a smaller conversation, I’ll usually try to give an opportunity for that testimony to be told in church. Such was the case yesterday. One of our members had a… Read more

  • Of All Things Google… and other technology nightmares

    After feeling left out of the earliest adopter stage of Google Plus, I am now IN. Of course, I have no idea what that means. I’m still waiting on that Google Wave thing to take off, too. One question posed by Brian at Near Emmuas was if Google really beefed up Blogger, who would go… Read more

  • I am Becoming More Liberal

    That just has to be the explanation. I am becoming more liberal! Why else would I NOT like the NIV 1984 but rave about the TNIV and the NIV 2011? What was I thinking? (It certainly couldn’t have been that the TNIV and the NIV 2011 were actually better translations! Certainly not!) The Southern Baptists… Read more

  • Hell is Still Selling

    Introducing in this corner Francis Chan with his latest entry into the foray and fallout from Rob Bell’s book. I do not think having these conversations is wrong, but if I were conducting these interviews (be it Rob Bell or Francis Chan or Mark Galli or whoever is next out with a book), I dream… Read more

  • How Hot Is It?

    It’s SO HOT: Cows are giving evaporated milk. I have discovered that asphalt has a liquid state. You eat hot peppers to cool your mouth off. You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. I saw a funeral procession pull into a Dairy Queen. Read more

  • TC and the Calvinists

    I was wondering yesterday where New Leaven had gone. I was  checking my blogroll and his blog no longer shows up. While there are some sane theories out there (see comments on that post), I have my own thoughts. The last thing I remember reading on his blog was he was having second thoughts about… Read more
