Getting It… and Not Getting It
Here is the standard line delivered by Apple fans when defending the newest Apple product (insert whatever the newest product is here): “People just don’t get it.” (Meaning, PC people, or people who can’t afford Apple products, who happen to point out flaws in the newest product.) Here is a standard line delivered by political fans or others (today it…

Faithful Presence and Faithful Activism
I wrote some comments on a Christianity Today interview I read. Then, I saw a response from Chuck Colson. Colson is a hero of mine, so I appreciate his thoughts on this subject as well.

There are some great thoughts going around under this title. Here. Here. Here. It’s a wide range of views. I won’t try to tackle the same points.

War and the Church
I have a tough time on the issue of war, going to war, etc. This post by Michael Gorman is about as good as I have found in thoughtful consideration of the church’s stance and then the thoughtful consideration of what governments have to do. I invite you to read his short post, but also one of his lengthy responses.…
