“Love is as strong as death.”
Pastor Saeed Abedini, an American citizen of Iranian birth, has been sentenced to 8 years in prison for “endangering national security.” By this, they mean preaching the gospel and building an orphanage. In the notoriously evil Evin prison. He is beaten beaten by interrogators and refused medical treatment because he is “unclean.” Despite this, he […]

The impact of grace
Today is St. Patrick’s day, a day on which everyone is Irish even if Patrick wasn’t. Patrick was actually a Briton who was kidnapped as a teen and sold as a slave in Ireland. He spent 6 years as a slave before he escaped. Patrick wasn’t a Christian when he was kidnapped, but he converted […]

Economics has consequences
A few months ago, I reviewed the curriculum, “Economics for Everybody,” a thoroughly biblical study of economics. Now the publishers have condensed the 12 hours of video presentations by R.C. Sproul, Jr into a two-hour long presentation called “Economics Has Consequences.” It is being streamed for free on Youtube and Vimeo for this month only. […]

Engaging the culture, part 3: Tribalism

They have to be heard in order to make an impact. You need an audience. Unfortunately, there has been a tendency for Christians to forgo […]

Christian Duty

Eclectic, distracted blogger (Squirrel!) I think I’ve been option 5. The problem is that it doesn’t actually build readership or provide for purpose and motivation. I’m not […]

The most important post I’ve ever linked to

It helps the person to get over erectile dysfunction in a very get cialis less time span as it completely cures the disorder and never affects the person ever again […]

Bring on the snark
I love snarky and sarcastic. I especially love sarcasm when it is used to make a point and not just show off. (Not that I have ever used a particularly clever jibe to show off. No, not me. Never.) Ahem. Anyway, three great snarks communicating important issues– This very interesting piece on Christians and culture […]

Just a rant
I hate this song so much it makes my teeth itch. HATE it. It is sometimes used as a worship song; not at our current church, but at our church in Virginia. You may have heard some treacly praise songs called “Jesus is my girlfriend” songs. You know, those songs that you can substitute “Peggy […]
