As I’m sure most people have heard, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. I first heard the news on Fox News. If you are not aware of the details, you can read an article here.
Now, so there is no confusion, let me state this succinctly and unequivocally: [...]

Lookin’ For [Joy] In All The Wrong Places
Lookin’ for Love in All the Wrong Places was a popular country song back in the 1980’s (yes, when I was in grade-school, I was an avid country music fanatic and I’ve got the Alabama albums to prove it!). This song still strikes a nerve in me today because people still do this! [...]

The California Supreme Court and our Diet of Worms
In early 1521, a Catholic monk named Martin Luther stood in very deep trouble before the Catholic church. At the direction of the Emperor, Charles V, a council was convened at the town of Worms (pronounced “Vorms”) and Luther was called to answer for his crime of running afoul of the teaching of the [...]

“The Manifesto,” as seen by Dr. Mohler
Dr. Mohler wrote a very good response both praising and criticizing the evangelical manifesto. I think Mohler’s insight is priceless and is very worthy of consideration. Read his blog, entitled: An Evangelical Response to “An Evangelical Manifesto” here.
In the end, Dr. Mohler concludes the Manifesto is too thin in its theological matters and [...]

Evangelicals, Politics, and “The Manifesto”
On May 7, 2008, a group of evangelicals issued an Evangelical Manifesto. Now, I have not had the opportunity to completely digest the manifesto–it is a 20-page PDF document that I will need to print it, devour it (using pencils and making notes), and then digest it. A recent article on the Associated [...]

On the lighter side…OF STUPIDITY!!!
I just had to address this, it’s way too good. The stupidity of some people seems to have no end.
A foxnews.com article tells of an ongoing protest in Berkeley, California over a U.S. Marine recruiting station. This station has been in the news since earlier this year when the City of Berkeley City [...]

The Reports of Our Demise are…….?
In a recent Associated Baptist Press article, the current President of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), Frank Page, warned up to half of our SBC churches could be gone in the next 25 years. From the article:
Page said the problem “resided in the churches” that refuse to change to stop their inevitable demise. He [...]

On Pastors, Red Herring, and Strawmen
There are times I hate politics. Not that I hate politicians. No, what I hate is the constant mis-representations of positions and, more importantly, facts related to the opponent.
Exhibit A: I read a foxnews.com article about the Democratic party-friendly people complaining about the outcry against Barack Obama’s association with his pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The [...]
