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. 😉

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 how we should interact 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. My all-time top testimony in…

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 breakthrough in getting a job…

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 to it, or go back?…

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 have called for a “ban”…

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 it would go something like…

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.

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 Calvinism. Then, he disappeared. These…
