Still Left With The Right

If you read yesterday’s Times article, “The Evangelical Crackup”, you might enjoy this response to it by Richard John Neuhaus at First Things:
But an evangelical crackup? Don’t believe it. The Times is whistling in the self-induced dark. They scare themselves by creating the boogeyman of a monolithic theocratic assault and then console themselves [...]

Is The Religious Right Turning Left?

David Kirkpatrick just wrote an article for the New York Times entitled “The Evangelical Crackup.” (click here for the full article). The bottom line is that religious conservatives are getting fed up with Bush and the war in Iraq, and many of the big names within evangelicalism (like Rick Warren) are becoming suspiciously [...]

Liability standards and sin before God

Alright, so it’s been awhile. Sue me. Actually, it’s been so long because I’m off busy learning how to sue you, so maybe you’ll want to sue me quickly before I learn too much… All of my retardation aside, I’ve pretty much dropped off the radar for a bit due to 6-12 [...]

Harry Potter Is A Christian And Dumbledore Is Gay

Earlier this week, J. K. Rowling finally admitted openly what so many of us already knew: many of the themes and imagery in the Harry Potter books were/are explicitly and intentionally Christian. This isn’t surprising considering Ms. Rowling is herself a Christian who was greatly influenced by writers like Lewis and is writing within [...]

How Do We Know The Bible Is The Word Of God?

I’ve read a lot of critics of Christianity, and I’m even friends with some of them, and one criticism I always heard, over and over again, was against the Christian belief that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. This criticism usually came in the form of a mock conversation:
“How do you know [...]

God Tube

I just caught the tail end of Nightline, and they were talking about a Christian version of YouTube that only allows religious and/or family-friendly content to be uploaded. It’s called God Tube. Apparently it’s become extremely popular in a relatively short amount of time, everyone’s been talking about it (Newsweek, Rolling Stone, etc.), [...]

Agreeing To Disagree?

During the Q&A period at Ligonier Ministry’s 2007 national conference, Contending for the Truth, R. C. Sproul, Al Mohler, and Ravi Zacharias were asked this question: “Is it possible for you to be wrong?”
Leading up to the question was the assumption that many Christians, Calvinists especially, are often “gruff”, arrogant and assume that they’ve got [...]

A Concise Definition Of True Love

Despite what our culture would like us to believe, there exists a love far more powerful than simple romantic love.  In some ways, romantic love is the easiest love, but not the deepest, nor the truest.
So here it is, a concise definition of TRUE love, from a much older and wiser man than I:

“Greater love has [...]

Functional Naturalism And The Mounting Evidence Of The Holy Spirit’s Power

Upon finishing J. P. Moreland’s latest book, Kingdom Triangle, I find myself feeling exactly as I knew I would: I’m strongly convicted that I’ve been denying a central aspect of the Christian worldview, much to my own detriment (and, if J. P. is right, to the detriment of Western Society).
The evidence is mounting at [...]

Evolving Art And Christian Worship

No one really disputes evolution. What is disputed is the yet unobserved postulation that a mutant fish will sprout legs and somehow give birth to a whole new species by random luck. Actual, observable evolution is not really a point of contention. And evolution takes place outside of the biological realm. [...]
