Clarification Of My Last Post About John Piper From the Resurgence Conference

The last post I wrote with my mind being in a daze and spilling over with ideas and thoughts. Not to mention spotty internet access and a tight schedule.
I had mentioned that what often irritates people about Piper is his sureness. That when he preaches or teaches he does so with confidence and [...]

John Piper Wrecking My World

John Piper is a blessing to the church, period.  I hear from people all the time that he is angry, a jerk, or just brutish.  Usually when I ask a person to support this claim they stammer and are unable to, they then come to some kind of statement like, “well my friend said that…” [...]

National Resurgence Conference 2008: Text & Context

Well I am packing right now to head on out to Seattle for the National Resurgence Conference. Here is a video of what the conference is all about.
The topic is quite timely and one I am interested to learn more about. Truth be told though, with many ministries now [...]

Deceiving Needy Kids

So you know how the NFL already has championship gear for the teams ready after big games.  What do they do with the losing team’s apparel? Well, apparently they donate it to World Vision.

Just like any book that is written, Driscoll has an intended targeted audience in mind as he writes this book, and since it is those outside the tent of Christianity, this book will offend some more conservative folk.

Well Oxford is ready to find out.
Oxford University is going to spend four million dollars to try and figure out why humans believe in God. They seem to think it is innate in our nature (except for western Europeans). They plan to convene sociologists, anthropologists, biologists, philosophers, and theologians to talk about why [...]

Craig Sager, a true professional

Sorry to go all “Jake Keck” on you faithful readers lately (you know short catch-up blogs and videos), but this one was too great not to post.
Even you didn’t love Steve Nash before, well…

Now do you think he lost a bet, or were some guys trying to mess with Sager. Either [...]

Worst President Ever?

Now I am no Bush fan (refraining from Micheal Scot joke, don’t say it Matt, this is a Christian blog, ahhhh). But I have a hard time calling a guy the worst President ever when I hear liberal rock stars saying things like this:
Bush has done more for Africa “than any other president so far.”
I’m [...]

Charles Barkley and “Fake Christians”

I watched this outlandish video of Charles Barkley on CNN the other day and was horrified as I watched it. As it concluded though I felt bad more than anything else for Charles Barkley and the people of Alabama if he does end up running for Governor in 2014. [...]

This Might Not Be the Type of Support McCain Had In Mind

I just love this photo.  McCain looks like a  new-born baby waiting to be put to bed.  I have to say though I think McCain’s hand is a little low.
