I’m really enjoying the new Matt Maher album, Alive Again.  A line from one song in particular (Flesh And Bone) has stuck with me:
I met a man who walked on water
Who wore His crown like a blue collar.
I met a man who treated children
Like they were ambassadors to the kingdom.
I wonder how often the church [...]

Given what Jesus had to say to the rich young man, what do you think He would have to say to a church that is using a $4.5 million Easter Egg Hunt to get people to come to church on Easter Sunday?  This church in Texas is giving away fifteen thousand gift bags valued at [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, I volunteered my summer to go up to our local church camp and film the events of the week.  I’ve put up some of the videos on YouTube, so for those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter, here’s what I’ve got so far:
Rules video – all [...]

For those of you who don’t know, I’m volunteering for the summer up at our local church camp, The Quest.  Last summer I didn’t do too much with my time, and I kind of felt that this year, I wanted to have some project that I could do for the summer break.  In talking with [...]

In a story that we’ve been talking about on and off since August of 2003, Texas is once again at the forefront of the evolution/creation debate for schools.  Once again, textbooks are at issue.  After having defeated the Intelligent Design proponents in ’03, science teachers are back in the hot spot as a renewed attack [...]

So it’s been a while – I’ve been away,  been busy and been swamped.  Also, I think Twitter has stolen some of my blogging soul…
As readers are aware, I went to Ontario at the end of September to say goodbye to my grandmother.  She passed away at the end of that week, so I’m very [...]

Did Jesus die for me, or just for everyone?
This is a question that’s been percolating through my mind for the last couple of days.  Christianity has recently popularized the idea of individualized salvation, through things like saying “replace the word ‘world’ in John 3:16 with your name.”  A recent listen to the song “Sea of [...]

Build a museum extolling the virtues of the Young Earth movement, while deriding science…

Marc Vandersluys over at The Eagle & Child has an interesting set of posts up about a book called The Evangelical Universalist. The thesis of the book is that God will save everyone in the end (i.e. not everyone is condemned to hell forever, just for a time). It’s an interesting position to [...]

Schools [in Britain] are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Government backed study has revealed.
It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.
There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades – where Christians fought [...]
