From the monthly archives:
Modern-Day Noah’s Ark Will Serve as Petting Zoo The ark will be part theme park, part floating Christian mission. The idea came to Huibers in a dream, a nightmare that Holland was flooded. A similar fear, we’re told, drove Noah to build his ark that saved the creatures of the world from rising waters and [...]

I have been hearing a lot of discussion in the last two days about this story: Bringing Bibles to the Porn Industry. Excerpt: Long story short…they have refunded all of our money and have refused to print the Bibles. They have told us that this goes against everything the Bible stands for and they don’t [...]

Steve McCoy has posted some Jack Bauer facts. I have tried really, really hard to not let 24 bypass LOST as my favorite TV show, but I have to admit….24 is amazing…every week…and Jack Bauer rules.

I don’t have any thoughts on this issue right now, but I know it is going to be a huge topic of conversation very shortly as the Centennial Anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival is approaching on April 25-29 in Los Angeles. It is not only going to be a huge topic of conversation, but [...]

After talking with a friend I am wondering this: Can Christian/Church communities who hold “complementarian” views, and Christian/Church communities who hold “egalatarian” views, come together and work, and minister, and evangelize, and glorify God? I would hope so, but I’m wondering if this issue keeps many communities from working together as they struggle over how [...]

Chapter IV of Miroslav Volf’s book Exclusion and Embrace is outstanding. It is titled “Gender Identity” and deals with the issue of “Trinitarian Identities” and how that plays itself out in regards to “masculinity” and “femininity.” Volf has covered every base of this issue, and has dealt with all the arguments and all the major [...]
