A Question of Origins
Politics, Religion| 9 Comments »KidPositive recently posted about creation vs ID vs evolution, and the Vatican chimed in again on the subject.
First, I tend to agree with the Vatican that “Intelligent design does not belong to science and there is no justification for the demand it be taught as a scientific theory alongside the Darwinian explanation,” but I still […]
Link: Neighborhood Note
Religion, Friends| No Comments »Visit my friend Jamie’s blog and read especially today’s post about the direction the American church is headed. I think there’s a lot there that relates to what James had posted last week.
100-Minute Bible has arrived!
Religion, Books| No Comments »Well, the first 10,000 copies sold like hotcakes, or whatever they sell in England. So I got one of the ‘first reprint’, and it arrived today. At first glance it appears to be made up of 50 ‘chapters’, one on each page, like a devotional. So that’s what I’ll use it as for the next […]
“The 100-Minute Bible” now published in UK
Religion, Books| No Comments »From the100-minutepress.com:
“The 100-Minute Bible is primarily intended for people who have an interest
in Christianity but not the time (nor tenacity!) to read the whole Bible. As the
title indicates most people will only take 100 minutes to read it, making it
ideal for an upcoming rail or aeroplane journey.
Launch date 21st September, Canterbury Cathedral”
I purchased one on […]
Is Sin a Risk Factor for Cancer?
Religion| No Comments »As an American who casually listens to medical news here and there, I am impressed that so many news stories relate increased cancer risk to various sins. Everyone knows that tobacco use increases the risk for cancer in whatever part of the body is in the most frequent contact with the carcinogens: lungs for smoking; […]
LJWorld.com: Minister who was addicted to porn says case not rare
Personal, Religion, Current Events| No Comments »By Dave Ranney
Thursday, July 21, 2005
When the Rev. Darrell Brazell, an evangelical minister, first heard that police had found thousands of pornographic images on former Christian-school leader Martin K. Miller’s home computer, he wasn’t surprised.
“They said they found something like 6,000 images,” Brazell said. “That sounds like a lot, but it’s not. You can download […]
Cartoon Captions
Politics, Religion, meme| 1 Comment »From Answers in Genesis:
You’ve actually got two different things you can rewrite: what the mom reads out of the book, and what the caption below the cartoon says.
Company Car
Personal, Religion| No Comments »Here is one of my favorite songs, and one I hope I will never be able to sing autobiographically:
“Company Car” by Switchfoot
Mike,
Was right,
When he said I put up a fight to be someone,
A fight to be me, but see
Now,
I’m down,
Under the pavement of capital ills,
And lower-case people
As time rolls by my dreams have become,
That […]
Close Encounters of the Biblical Kind
Religion, TV| No Comments »So I saw this program on the History Channel a few nights ago, who had a Presbyterian minister (I can’t quite confirm from this photograph, so I’m very, very sorry if this isn’t the same man who was on TV—however, it seems to check out) who provided many statements that supported the program’s thesis […]
Creation and the Inerrancy of Scripture
Religion| No Comments »Something I have been paying close attention to on the Answers In Genesis website is the logical conclusion which follows when we Christians start making compromises regarding the first couple chapters of Genesis. It makes sense, doesn’t it, that when we start looking for ‘gaps’ in the Genesis account of God’s six-day creation, we then […]
