Okay, maybe not entirely. However, I have found a common ground with at least one person in the Emergent Church. Let me explain: I’ve been reading D.A. Carson‘s book Becoming Conversant with the Emergent Church. (Before I go on, let me encourage you to read this book, even if you only find yourself marginally interested [...]

I’ve been itching to post something on George Barna’s new book Revolution for some time but didn’t know exactly what to write. If you aren’t familiar with the title let me introduce you. Revolution is Barna’s statement about what he sees as “the most massive reshaping of the nation’s faith community in more than a [...]

Back in August I wrote 2 posts on Student Ministry. At the time I had intended to come back and write a third (and final) post listing some concrete practices that I thought should be foundational to any student ministry. For some reason I never got around to the third post and moved on to [...]

Somehow I missed this. Back in early October I was fortunate enough to chaperone Matthew Smith (associated with Indelible Grace) around before he played at UT’s Baptist Collegiate Ministries. During the course of that day I expressed to Matthew my fandom of Derek Webb (Derek and his wife Sandra McCraken have joined Matthew on Indelible [...]

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. I won’t be back to the blog until Monday (or so.) Let me wish all [...]

I can’t win for losing. Now that I’m about over whatever crud got me down earlier in the week, I begin a battle with food poisioning. I’m sure Jeremy isn’t all that sympathetic, considering what he’s been going through. Still, it’s kept me from writing anything of note (I can hear you saying to yourself [...]

Two political science professors (one from UCLA and the other from the U. of Missouri) have published the results of their 3 year study on the world of news reporting. The findings indicate a leftist bias. From UCLA’s article: Of the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 scored left of center, with CBS’ “Evening News,” [...]

I recently had to write an introductory paper on Montanism. It is quite possibly the worst paper I’ve written (it hit the same time a bad case of the cold did) but since I don’t have anything else to post, here you go. By the way: Sorry Jeremy, I think Tertullian was in with ‘em. [...]

I realize that it is a bit late in the game to discuss The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe – seeing as the whole of blogdom has moved on to spiritual gifts (amongst others.) However, I’d like to throw a line in the Narnian water (later being better than never) because I’ve just come [...]

Sorry for the delay. I’ve been trying to decide between a couple of different options for the next blog post. Until then, let me give you two things to look at: 1. It is a bit old but here is a description of what really happened at UConn when Ann Coulter spoke. Quite a bit [...]
