A real response to Muslims’ open letter

In contrast to the abysmal “Christian” response to the open letter from Muslim letters (you can find a link to it in the comments of a previous post), I was overjoyed to read this excellent rebuttal to the letter by the Barnabas Fund. In it, they educate Westerners on the finer points of Islamic outreach […]

Book review: Deadly Viper

A book with a provocative title came across my attention recently, by way of my long-standing interest in co-author Mike Foster. He was one of the founders of XXXChurch.com, a group that brings discussion of the dangers of pornography to the forefront of the church and also reaches out in love to the porn industry, […]

Mysterious

Well, I’m not sure what’s going on. The really cool thing I wanted to share with you is that on Saturday, I started feeling really awful, and it seemed that I’d picked up the flu that the rest of my family had already gotten. (I live in my own place, but we intermingle regularly!) Well, […]

Giving thanks

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have much to be thankful for, and in particular, I have something really cool to share with you. That and more coming up…

What if God invented postmodernism?

I’ve just started reading a fantastic book called Organic Church by Neil Cole, and it got me thinking about something I’ve been mulling over already for a while. Some people in church circles have been lamenting over the growth of postmodernism and pine for the good ol’ days when objective rationality and logical truth were […]

Millennials: good news, bad news

There’s been a lot of hoopla over this CBS News report on the rise of the Millennials in the workforce. I think some of it is just flat out nonsense, written to create controversial talking points and stir up media hype, but some of it warrants closer attention.
I’m 24, going on 25 next month, so […]

Guest blogging over at Rend the Heavens

I’m excited to be expanding my little corner of the blogosphere by guest blogging over at Chris Davis’ excellent Rend the Heavens blog. The post’s subject matter is regarding the nature of true worship, which is a continuation of a topic he’s been covering for a while. So go check it out!

On pilgrimage

I’m heading up with my family and a friend from church to Redding, CA to visit Bethel Church for the weekend. Not only is God doing incredible things in their midst, but they have an awesome prayer chapel that I visited for a minute when I was up at JesusCulture earlier this year — and […]

Huckabee is now a serious contender in Iowa

I’m pretty astonished, frankly, that Mike Huckabee has shot up so high so fast in the polls. Make no mistake, this is a major political feat, considering that Mitt Romney has spend millions of dollars in advertising in Iowa, and Mike has spend…virtually nothing. It’s now looking quite possible that come January, we will see […]

Shoutout to the Christian Bloggers Network!

I’m really excited about the new Christian Bloggers Network that’s formed on Facebook. I’ve been wanting to join some kind of network like this for some time but hadn’t found something obvious that showed momentum. Hats off to Andrew Jackson for launching this — I hope it goes to great places!
