For the past few weeks, it’s been hard to ignore the news coverage regarding the virtual collapse of the American financial industry. From talk of foreclosures, credit crunches, “predatory lending,” and bailouts, we’ve been inundated with bad news.
Today I read an article which poses the question, “Is God to blame?” Or more to the point [...]

Several good friends of mine are either pregnant or have recently been pregnant. Well, it seems that perhaps these couples would have done much better if they had taken a quick trip to Russia beforehand.
According to an article in today’s edition of The Denver Post, Russia has declared September 12th to be the Day of [...]

Nathan Finn posted a question on his blog not too long ago entitled, “Defining Fundamentalism,” where he requested his readers to supply some rudimentary definitions of fundamentalism. In the spirit of Finn-ness, I present today’s post.
This afternoon I began reading America’s God by Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre [...]

My brother, a college sophomore, decided to get a tattoo this past Monday. As you can see, he chose an ichthus to represent his faith in Christ. Overall, I like the design and think he chose well.

I realize that this story has been out for almost two weeks now and therefore I am a bit behind the times. This post is primarily for those in my Gospel Foundations School class at Christ Our Hope Church.
Perhaps you’ve heard on the news or in magazines that archaeologists in Jerusalem have discovered a first-century [...]
“Sinners,” Be Warned!

This one is just too ridiculous to let alone. Brian Germann, a small business man in Sacramento, California, recently has introduced a product called “Holy Drinking Water,” which is simply bottled water that has been blessed by a member of the clergy. The story can be seen in full here. According to Germann, the idea came to him [...]
