I appreciated this quote from Boundless Webzine:
Why do you think The Purpose-Driven Life has sold 25 million copies? Why do you think Wild at Heart has been so popular with men? These books offer modern readers an opportunity to rediscover timeless Biblical truth in order to restore purpose and vision to their lives. Unfortunately, these [...]

What Chesterton means is that everything we see around us is a miracle; nothing is absolutely guaranteed. What the scientific method discovers about the world are not laws - things inherent in the existence of the universe - but miracles; miracles with a very high statistical probabability. What we like to call Laws of Nature [...]

Well, I finally finished Understanding Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism, by George Marsden. One of the remarkable things that took place around the turn of the century was the rise of German scientificism in academic circles. The concept was that each scientific or academic discipline would be pursued in isolation from the others; for the purpose of [...]

On the Evangelical Presbyterian Church website, I found this position paper, which, as they explain, is not intended to be a statement of church doctrine, but a practical help for Scriptural living.

I've had these grand aspirations of increased blogging, but somehow it seems like working 40+ hours a week, commuting an hour each way, family responsibilities, church, and friends leave little time for writing.

Apparently it is International Webloggers Day. In honor of the day, I will post who I'm supporting in the World Cup.

Today, I'm supporting the [...]

In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul,
"Flee like a bird to your mountain, for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"

Budzizewski nails us again! Read this.
It's really all about compassion. We can answer the question, but if we don't understand the "question behind the question," how can we hope to show our friends how much God loves them?
