“You Better Come Heavy”

February 28, 2006

I was on Southern’s website recently and saw this pic from what appears to be an evangelistic house call. I am not picking a fight over door to door. I just thought the picture was funny. Gee’z, four on one evangelism? The Mormons don’t even comethat heavy. The poor guy looks like a deer in [...]

Christianpodder.com

February 27, 2006

I just came across a BP article on Lifeway’s new podcasting service, Christianpodder.com. This could be very cool. Free sermons/teaching in podcast form from a variety of perspectives all found in one place? I am all for this. They even have the podcasts broken down into categories. And, I am not kidding, there is a [...]

Last.fm

February 27, 2006

Last week I began using Last.fm to stream a variety of music to my computer for free. The quality is great, and the site tailors a playlist for the user based on the music he/she listens to.

Like many others I have read the book, and was interested to see what Mark would say about it; even if he is pretty [...]

James White Challenges Ergun Caner

February 22, 2006

After all the drama on Tom’s blog surrounding Ergun Caner’s strange assertions and attitude in the comments section, James White has offered to travel to Liberty University to debate the man on his own turf. I wish Caner would take him up on the offer. Read some of the exchange on White’s website here.

Reformed Motivation

February 22, 2006

I have never been embarrassed about being a Calvinist. In fact, I used to be a pretty big jerk about it. Around 1995/6 that began to change (a future post no doubt). Though it is not the banner we raise, our church is also Reformed in theology. Over the past year a number of leaders [...]
