There are several buzz words that have emerged in recent years within the Christian community. Emerging, emergent, relative, missional, postmodern…all words that will commonly be mentioned in conversations about ministry in the 21st century.

Obama: The Most Pro-Abortion Candidate Ever
These are the words of Voddie Baucham in a recent post on Barack Obama. Speaking of Obama, Baucham says, “He could not even bring himself to vote for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act which would have protected children born in the process of an abortion. That’s right, Mr. Obama cannot even bring himself [...]
Commending Expelled
Voddie Baucham has recently written a quick review of the documentary Expelled which is currently in theaters. As Baucham says, “The movie features intelligent, articulate spokesmen and exposes the blatant, irrational discrimination faced by those in academia who dare to question Darwinian Orthodoxy.” Needless to say, Baucham gives this movie a hardy recommendation. I am [...]
Carried Away for Jesus
This is such a strange story. A Catholic priest, trying “to raise money for a spiritual rest-stop for truckers in Paranagua” (Brazil), strapped himself to a chair tied to hundreds of balloons and lifted off in an attempt to break the record for the most hours flying by balloons. It begs the question, how far [...]
The Monday Muse: Global Warming
Global warming has been a hot button issue for the past few years. Al Gore popularized the issue with his documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The popularity of the documentary vaulted Gore back into the spotlight after his run as Vice President ended and eventually led to a Nobel Prize. Several weeks ago Al Gore launched [...]
American Idol Sings Shout to the Lord

Josh Harris has already written some very good reflections on this episode. However, I will say a few quick things. First, I was immediately skeptical [...]
The Monday Muse: The Millennium
Ok folks…we’re going Left Behind this week. We are venturing into the waters of the end times. I want to know where you stand. I want you to make your case.
Are you a premillennialist, postmillennialist, or amillennialist? And why?
This week’s question comes as a shout out to my friend Jordan who was asked a similar [...]
Baby With Two Faces
No, this is not some deep metaphor explaining human nature from the beginning of life. What you see is what you get. This is literally a baby with two faces. I have never seen anything like it. Even crazier is the fact that doctors have a term for this condition: craniofacial duplication. The fact that [...]
The Monday Muse: Useless Inventions
A couple of weeks ago I was thinking about all of the pointless inventions that litter the shelves of stores across the world. Some inventions are so pointless that it is almost frustrating. Some of them actually make life more difficult in one way or another. Most of the time we tolerate and celebrate these [...]
Nasty Dunk By Ewing, Jr.
Check out Junior throwin’ down.

I don’t think his dad could have done anything like that even in his prime. Of course, Junior doesn’t have the baseline, turnaround, fadeaway jumper that his dad had either.
