Justice Sunday »

I’m glad Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, has a blog. And he doesn’t shy away from controversy, posting the transcript from his remarks at Justice Sunday on the front page of his site. Good for him.
And I’m concerned as he is about some judges imposing their will and preference on […]

Pimp My Church »

Great Ryan Dobson “Undone” Podcast featuring Mike DeVries. Grab the MP3 or the podcast feed. It contains my favorite podcasted quote, and maybe my favorite quote of all time:
Mike DeVries: I’ve been told, ‘The message should never change, but the method should always change.’ So we keep thinking we need to keep […]

Ryan Dobson Podcast »

Very interesting stuff at Ryan Dobson’s “Undone” podcast. His site tries to look very edgy - his picture (shaved head, goatee, earring) is prominent, the fonts look distressed, and it features red & white type on a black background. The music on his podcast is pretty strong (and has some great guitar riffs).

What is the Gospel? »

Jerry posted a great comment to my last post about the gospel having its way, and I think it’s important enough to merit its own post.

Some people […]

Wendell Berry on Organized Religion »

The Bible gives exhaustive (and sometimes exhausting) attention to the organization of religion: the building and rebuilding of the Temple; its furnishings; the orders, duties, and paraphernalia of the priesthood; the orders of rituals and ceremonies. But that does not disguise the fact that the most significant religious events recounted in the Bible do […]
